Dr Rovshan Izamov on CDT Carbon dioxide therapy

ilipo The use of low level lasers as a possible adjunct to liposuction procedures has been researched for more than 10 years, however, despite this, scientific studies of the exact mechanism are still lacking in conclusive evidence. Initial research reports the benefits of low level laser therapy (LLLT) to stimulate the release of fatty acids from the cell, facilitating the extraction of the adipose tissue during lipoplasty, shortening operating times, reducing post treatment effects and the need for analgesia for the patient.

see us at stand 95&96

This effect of stimulating the release of the stored contents of adipose cells has been applied to non-invasive fat reduction or body shaping treatments with a variety of devices offered on the market. Clinical research for this non-invasive option is lacking, with minimal studies currently published using controlled and large population groups to demonstrate effect. Despite this, these cold laser devices still prove to be a popular treatment opportunity within the global aesthetic market. The ilipo system is one such device, using trans-dermal low-level laser energy at 650-660nm to stimulate fat cell release with no pain, no downtime and rapid treatment time. In a recent review of 82 patients, having completed three treatment sessions of ilipo, a mean circumference reduction of -2.9% (SD 1.68) was achieved compared to their pre-treatment size. An additional group of 20 patients, having completed eight treatment sessions indicated a continued cumulative mean circumference reduction with successive treatments up to -8.2% (SD 2.9). These results indicate a 95% confidence that eight laser sessions will result in an average reduction of a patient’s pre treatment circumference of -8.2% +/- 1.26. Exclusion criteria allowed for the conclusion that diet and exercise habits would have minimal impact on results achieved, other than the exercise sessions immediately post treatment, which provides the sustained and cumulative reduction trend. There were no recorded instances of discomfort of side effects from treatment. The conclusion of this review is that ilipo offers a safe and effective opportunity for targeted fat reduction in a short timescale.

Encouragingly, most of the women surveyed believe that a woman is beautiful at every age. Nevertheless, a majority of women would want to improve theirs looks as they get older and more than 45% of women expressed that aesthetic procedures are a necessity not a luxury. “While most women (70%) report becoming more confident as they age, more than half (59%) say they will have aesthetic procedures to look the best

they can,” said Jérôme Augustin, Senior Vice President Merz Aesthetics Europe. “The Merz Aesthetics Full Facial approach, including products such as Radiesse® and Belotero® offer women a range of products to achieve the radiant and well-rested look they desire.” Overall, a majority of women surveyed (87%) believe it is possible to stay attractive and beautiful despite fading of youth. This is confirmed by the fact that more than half of women (56%) surveyed have already experienced at least one aesthetic procedure. In fact, women were most likely to have had a facial injectable as their first aesthetic procedure. “As a dermatologist, I treat many women who hold similar beliefs to those surveyed,” said Sabine Zenker, MD, Munich, Germany. “They seek out facial injectables, like dermal fillers from Merz Aesthetics because they want to take control of how they look without dramatically changing their appearance.” The survey, conducted online in October 2010 by Harris Interactive and commissioned by Merz, included 2,939 women from France (n=543), the United Kingdom (n=524), Italy (n=667), Spain (n=701), and Russia (n=504) who have experience with, or interest in, using facial injectable treatments of dermal fillers and other injectables. Women were asked a variety of questions about their thoughts and feelings related to what makes a woman beautiful, their own personal beauty, and the role of aesthetic procedures in maintaining their appearance.

Lumenis Ltd Reports Financial Results

Lumenis Ltd has announced its financial results for the year ending December 31, 2010. The company reported revenues of $237.7 million, up 5% from $226.1 million in 2009 as well as GAAP operating income of $12.1 million, an increase of 613% compared to $1.7 million in 2009 and Non-GAAP operating income of $11.1 million, up 39% from $8.0 million in 2009, Positive cash flow from operations of $15.3 million, including $3.3 million in legal settlements. “During 2010, we continued our positive momentum. Lumenis’ revenues and profits continued to grow and we generated strong positive cash flow from operations. We are proud to be, once again, at the forefront of medical laser innovation by introducing significant new products to our robust portfolio. The Company achieved double digit growth in Latin America, China and India as we continued to aggressively invest in our infrastructure to expand our presence in the emerging markets,” said Mr Dov Ofer, CEO of Lumenis.

Professional SkinCare Market Rebounds in Europe and the US, says kline & co

A rise in visits to professional outlets for skincare treatments in 2010 gave way to sales growth for the global professional skincare products market. While Japan remained flat with 0.1% growth, Europe recovered in 2010, posting a 3.0% increase following a 3.3% decline in 2009, and sales in the United States increased by 2.7% in 2010, according to the recently released study Professional Skincare 2010 Global Series: Market Analysis and Opportunities by worldwide consulting and research firm Kline & Company. Most of the leading professional skincare companies enjoyed respectable sales gains in 2010. Brands from the medical care providers channel reaped the strongest growth, with SkinMedica and SkinCeuticals posting double-digit gains. Market leader Obagi, entrenched in the medical care providers segment, maintained its leading position in the US market, experiencing a 13% sales gain for the year. Spas and salons remain the largest purchase channel in the United States, but market share for the channel continues to decline due to stiff competition from other channels and the general market for facial treatment products. Beauty institutes are the leaders in both Europe with 59% and Japan with nearly 68% of market share. Spurred by customers’ trust in doctor’s knowledge in managing various types of skin problems, the medical care providers channel has grown the most in 2010 across all regions. Over the next five years the market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 4.2% in Europe, 6.7% in the United States, and 2.6% in Japan.

REMOTE PRESCRIIBING DEBATE HITS FIVE LIVE A heated debate on the topic of remote prescribing was broadcast by BBC Radio Five last month. The debate appeared as part of the Sunday evening Five Live Investigates programme with Adrian Goldberg. Guests included IHAS and Treatments You Can Trust director Sally Taber, Dr Mark Harrison from Harley Aesthetics and an un-named nurse. The programme came off the back of new advice issued last month by the NMC on the topic (see p6). Sally Taber highlighted the importance of face-to-face consultations for patients with a doctor or specialist nurse who has a university level qualification in prescribing to ensure patient safety. The un-named nurse said she had suffered financial consequences as a result of having to change her practice to keep in line with the guidance. She also said that she felt working with Dr Harrison was safer, in her opinion, than a nurse, even a qualified Independent Nurse Prescriber, working alone.. Dr Harrison also defended the practice saying he had issued more than 40,000 remote prescriptions for botulinum toxin with no reported problems and said he would be seeking a legal opinion over the NMC’s position on this.

Men Fuel Rebound in Cosmetic Surgery

Statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) show that more men are going under the knife. Overall cosmetic plastic surgery procedures in men were up 2% in 2010 compared to 2009. However, many male surgical procedures increased significantly. Facelifts for men rose 14% in 2010 while male liposuction increased 7%. 2010 ASPS statistics show that men underwent more than 1.1 million cosmetic procedures, both minimally-invasive and surgical. The majority of the men’s top 10 fastest-growing cosmetic procedures are surgical, which bucks the previous trend of growth in minimally-invasive treatments. The top five procedures for men were: face-lifts (14% increase), otoplasty (11% increase), soft tissue fillers (10% increase), botulinum toxin type A (9% increase) and liposuction (7% Increase). “The growth in cosmetic surgical procedures for men may be a product of our ageing baby boomers who are now ready to have plastic surgery,” said ASPS president Phillip Haeck, MD. “Minimallyinvasive procedures such as Botox® and soft tissue fillers work to a point. However, as you age and gravity takes over, surgical procedures that lift the skin are necessary in order to show significant improvement.”

resulting in Katie not being able to get away from the champagne reception due to the sheer volume of delegates that wanted to speak to her about her experience, and her charity the Katie Piper Foundation. Dr Bob Khanna held the last session of the day and proceeded to take the audience through the concept that we should no longer treat single lines or wrinkles, but we should be looking at the full face and creating a treatment plan based on this for our patients. He then presented Q-Med’s Soft Restoration Concept, which enables practitioners to do this by selling their customers a treatment plan for the whole face, based on clinical evidence, and using the pix’L microcannula, all

As a key part of any successful business Stefan provided some fantastic advice on what to do to get yourself and your business noticed online, and also what not to do.

Aesthetic Training and consultant. I have been working in the aesthetics and skin rejuvenation business for 15years during which time I have worked with numerous skincare lines. Having managed my own single site business as well as overseen large multisite organisations I have developed a great understanding of core skincare that an aesthetic establishment needs to offer their clients. There are many skincare lines to choose from, but I found that Image Skincare has everything you need all in one brand. I chose Image skincare because of the quality and quantity of active ingredients, the flexibility of how it can be used and because of the results that are achieved. Regardless of the demographic or skin type of your client base, Image has treatment and homecare products to offer everyone, from wrinkled sun damage to the more difficult pigmented skin types, and even pregnant ladies too! Each specialised section of the retail line are easily identified by the simple bold colours, and are easy to remember and recommend. Image product display will not only add colour and something fresh to your shelves, but also offer your clients visible tangible results just from using quality skincare at home. The Image ipeel professional Resurfacing solutions, along with the 5 different Enhancers, give you as a practitioner the flexibility and choice to tailor your skin treatment exactly to your clients needs. Just a few drops of the potent Retinol, Kojic and Antioxidant Enhancers mixed with the exfoliating solution customises the treatment to address the skin condition of your client.Image give you the option of higher strength solutions.

The Big Debate | CEN Standards

European

confusion

We find out the truth behind the rumours about the CEN European Standards and their impact on the UK aesthetics market

Rumours have been rife in the aesthetics industry recently over new European-wide Standards that are being developed as a way of striving for best practice in the cosmetic surgery and medical aesthetics industries, with one of the biggest being that the Standards will only allow plastic surgeons and dermatologists to carry out these treatments – including botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, the bread and butter of most aesthetic clinics. However while these Standards, known as The European Standard for Aesthetic Surgery Services (CEN TC403), are a reality, much of what is being said about them has been blown out of proportion and the UK industry is lobbying hard to make sure the BSI mirror group understands the way the industry here differs from other parts of Europe, in case these Standards do become the basis for law in the future. We asked some of the industry’s key opinion leaders and those involved in representing the UK industry in Europe to explain exactly what is going on and what aesthetic practitioners should be aware of…

Mike Regan, Chair, BSI Committee CH/403 Aesthetic Surgery Services “In March 2010, CEN - the European Committee for Standardisation - created a new Project Committee, CEN TC/403 ‘Aesthetic Surgery Services’. Very soon after BSI - the British Standards Institution - formed the National Mirror Committee BSI CH/403. The scope of BSI CH/403 is: “to be responsible for UK input into CEN TC/403. To undertake national work in the fields of aesthetic surgery services and beauty interventions provided in private healthcare facilities”. As can be seen from this scope statement, the work includes a vast range of procedures, services and treatments! It encompasses not only what might more traditionally be called ‘surgery’, but also ‘cosmetic interventions’ as well. The BSI is of course our national standardisation body here in the UK. To learn more about the work of the BSI ‘Aesthetic Surgery Services’ Committee go to www.Standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com and search on CH/403. The BSI web site lists all the associations and regulatory bodies that are currently represented on the CH/403 Committee. At the European level BSI sends National Delegates to represent UK interests on CEN TC/403. See www.cen.eu/cen and search on TC/403. My colleagues on the BSI CH/403 Committee are proceeding with considerable energy and sector experience in playing their part in developing this exciting new European Standard, which seeks to raise the standard of aesthetic service provision throughout Europe. The next meeting of CEN TC/403 will be in Austria on May 6 and 7 2011. BSI is sending a strong National Delegation to represent UK interests (i.e. your interests!). A vigorous debate is anticipated, including a discussion on how soon the Standard can go forward to the [Public] Enquiry Stage. After the May meeting we will have a much clearer idea on when we can expect to see the Standard published, both as a European Standard and also as a National Standard in each Member State, including of course in the UK. Watch this space!”

Ron Myers, Director, The Consulting Room™ “The main problem with any form of regulation in the cosmetic surgery or, so called, non-surgical arena is that neither cosmetic surgery nor cosmetic medicine is a recognised medical sub-speciality, and hence there is no formal training or qualifications that help to standardise quality delivered by individual practitioners performing treatments who work in the wide variety of different business models found in the UK market. So although legislation revolving around protocols, health and safety, infection control etc is robust via the Care Quality Commission for regulated procedures, it doesn’t really get to the kernel of the matter in terms of ensuring that the surgeon/practitioner who actually delivers the treatment really knows what they’re doing.There are no immediate ‘magical answers’ to these issues – and many European countries face similar problems which have resulted in a drive towards trying to harmonise Standards across the EU for cosmetic treatments. The European Standard for Aesthetic Surgery Services (CEN TC403) is now in its second draft and due to be considered further by the committee following receipt of comments made by the 31

currently going back and forward

that people are clear on what is really happening. It is giving some guidance over who should do what however it is not true at all, for example, that only plastic surgeons will be able to do cosmetic treatments under these Standards. With regards to nursing, there have been rumours that registered nurses need to be Independent Nurse Prescribers and have a masters degree, which isn’t the case as our legislation takes priority over a Standard. It is the case, and I think we will support it, that registered nurses should/ shall work under supervision unless they are an Independent Nurse Prescriber. What we would want is that all registered nurses undertaking cosmetic injectables should either have an Independent Prescribing qualification or be working towards it. The other big thing that is being talked about is the dentists, because dentists are not doing these treatments in the rest of Europe. It may be that we can apply for a variation clause if we fully believe that dentists should be doing cosmetic injectables and I think there is no doubt about it, providing they are appropriately trained. The other excellent point for me is that the whole of Europe has adamantly said that no beauty therapists should be involved. They have also adamantly said no remote prescribing. The other issue it brings in is advertising which we are also doing quite a lot of work on at the moment because of the Advertising Standards Authority change with regards to websites, which again is good. The Standards also brings in criteria around age, which obviously we need to be careful of because some children need cosmetic surgery, such as for bat ears, and we have to be careful that we allow for that, but there is a lot of discussion around the appropriateness of a treatment for young adults, making sure that teenagers are not going through breast augmentation and similar such procedures. I am a member of the BSI mirror group and am going, as one of the three representatives, to the CEN meeting in Vienna in May. I am doing a presentation on Treatments You Can Trust and the work we are doing around lasers to see whether Europe would be prepared to take on Treatments You Can Trust, which would be exceptionally positive. It is motivating to think what it will do to raise standards and we have certainly got to raise standards in this country – we have got some excellent standards but we have also got some appalling standards. Patients do travel and they must experience the same standard in each country. If we can get the standards up in each country it will be a very positive thing. It is difficult to create Standards across the board as the markets are different but we can put in variances where it is appropriate”

making amends. However what people need to understand is that it is a voluntary system so, even if these Standards get passed, they are voluntary. The European government has very recently released a statement saying that they have no intention of officially and legally regulating the cosmetic medicine industry. From our point of view there was a slight flaw in the fact it was called ‘Aesthetic Surgery Services’ so we assumed that it generally just covered the surgical side of cosmetics but actually it encompasses everything, including non-surgical. Whilst the process of developing the Standards was started over a year ago, it only came to light to us at the British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD) towards the end of last year. It has become apparent that very few non-surgical organisations, such as the equivalent as the BACD abroad and the Irish contingency, had also not heard about this body of people setting up these Standards. Most of the people on board are surgeons and, at the moment, we don’t feel that the non-surgical contingency has been represented. It is good to have Standards and it is good to have regulation but at the moment we don’t feel that everyone in the industry has been represented equally. The first 40 or so pages of the document are all about what is best practice regarding advertising ethics and age of consent, which we are very in favour of. The biggest bone of contention is the issues surrounding who can do what – who can provide which services. The problem is that medicine is carried out completely differently in every European country. Gynaecologists in Germany, for example, carry out breast augmentations. So this is the problem and, having just had a meeting at the BSI, we at the BACD don’t see how they can put these Standrads across Europe when medicine in the UK is practised very differently. In the UK the government actively encourages GPs to become GPs with a specialist interest in something. GPs in the UK for example will deal with around 80% of the dermatology cases, whereas that is not so in other European countries, so it is very difficult to blanket Standards across Europe when everyone does something completely different. In the UK dentists are also practising aesthetics but the dentists are not even part of this European standard. We do need some form of Standards because we now have beauty therapists injecting with no medical qualifications but it would make more sense if it was a bit more country specific.”

People in Profile | Frances Furlong

Going it

alone

We speak to aesthetic nurse Frances Furlong about her decision to branch out on her own

When Frances Furlong was asked recently ‘when she stopped being a real nurse?’ she laughed it off but the sentiment is something that many aesthetic nurses come across when they decide to leave ‘traditional’ nursing and branch into the cosmetic field. Never one to let a label stick, Frances, who has been an aesthetic nurse for more than a decade, has spent her entire career trying to develop herself as a specialist in the field through continued education and by keeping her professional codes of conduct at the forefront of everything she does.

Private Clinic in Harley Street where she worked as a senior aesthetic nurse before being approached by the Skin Health Spa (formerly known as the cityskinklinic), where she stayed for five years working as a nurse practitioner and then as registered manger, under the medical direction of Dr Lucy Glancey. In 2010 Frances decided to leave the Skin Health Spa to set up her own business, going into partnership with fellow nurse Emeline Hartley at Cosmetic Healthcare Solutions Ltd where she worked as a nurse consultant and company director, attending regular clinics in Essex and London consulting and providing aesthetic and dermatology treatments.

Special Feature | Pigmentation

Hitting the

mark

Types of pigmentation Age spots/liver spots/solar lentigines Age spots or ‘liver’ spots are a common form of hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, and are referred to by medical professionals as solar lentigines. Although they are also sometimes known as liver spots this has nothing to do with liver or anything that is associated with the function of the liver. They are usually found on the hands and face or other areas frequently exposed to the sun and will most likely increase with age. Age spots can vary in colour from brown to gray and black. They can also be very small or quite large and often appear in groups or clusters. They are more common on people with fair skin who don’t have as much natural protection from the sun. The reason they are known as age spots is due to the fact that the melanin accumulating in the skin over the years as a person ages can make them more susceptible to them, but these pigmentation marks are not exclusively caused by ageing. Melasma Melasma is the formation of irregular pigmented patches and is commonly found on the sunexposed face in the period during or after pregnancy or in women who are on the contraceptive pill. It is thought to be caused by increasing levels of both oestrogen and progesterone, which stimulate melanocytes resulting in increased production of the normal tanning protective chemical. Melasma or chloasma spots are similar in appearance to age spots but are larger areas of darkened skin. The condition is also known as ‘pregnancy mask’ because of its prominence in pregnant women and because of its appearance as ‘mask like’

patches on the face. Melasma is usually found on the cheeks, temples and forehead but can also be found on the body. Melasma is aggravated by exposure to the sun.

Pigmentation is one of the most common skin conditions affecting people of all skin types and ages worldwide. There are many different types of abnormal skin pigmentation known by various different names including hyperpigmentation, age spots, brown spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar lentigines and melasma.

Freckles Freckles are small brown spots that can appear anywhere on the face and body. Freckles are an inherited characteristic and are most common on fair skinned people. Millions of people around the world have freckles and are less likely to seek cosmetic treatment for them than those who have other forms of pigmentation as they are often regarded as ‘a mark of beauty’.

Pause for thought Treating menopausal clients in aesthetic practice

Many female clients who visit cosmetic practitioners will be in the age group that are either pre, post or going through menopause. But while these clients often seek medical support to help them through the hormonal and physical changes to their bodies, more and more are seeking the help of aesthetic practitioners too as the side effects of the menopause can drastically effect their skin and looks.

his own cosmetic dermatology clinic in Harley Street in London.

How does the treatment work? Intradermal administration of carbon dioxide improves skin laxity by improving dermal collagen. When administered subcutaneously CO2 causes lysis of the fat cells in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. When injected intradermally it immediately diffuses at the cutaneous and microcirculatory levels. At the vascular level it increases vascular tone and produces active vasodilatation at the microcirculatory level, increasing microcirculation, tissue metabolism and oxygenation. Lipodystrophy and edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy are pathologies in which microcirculatory disorders and resulting interstitial edema constitute triggering factors that also support the pathological process. Microangiopathy due to stasis is the morphological substrate. Since it improves capillary blood flow and reduces stasis, carboxytherapy contributes to restoration of the microvasculartissular unit exchanges. Most of the gas is eliminated through the lungs (expiration), while a smaller portion is converted into carbonic acid at tissue level and eliminated through the kidneys. Although it is toxic when inhaled (10% in air may cause asphyxia), CO2 trans- or subcutaneous therapeutic administration or intra-abdominal administration aimed at videolaparoscopy have not shown any toxic effects, even at the highest doses (two to three liters). It differs from other gases because it does not cause nitrogenous embolisms, unlike, for example, the oxygen-ozone therapy. Carboxytherapy is one of the so-called lunchtime-procedures, as there is no hospitalisation or anesthesia required. Patients can resume their daily routine immediately after treatment. Clinically proven efficacy, simplicity and absence of toxity and complications make Carboxytherapy highly desirable treatment. To speak to Dr Izamov about introducing Carboxytherapy at your practice please visit Stand 62 at The Cosmetic News Exhibition on May 6 and 7 2011 at the Business and Design Centre, Islington.

Before I came here I had already done a year in dermatology and, when I arrived, I also did another rotation in dermatology and I really liked it. During that time I started becoming more and more interested in aesthetics because it was something I always wanted to do but at the time it wasn’t that well known. I did a botulinum toxin course with David Eccleston in 2002 and that was the very first course I did. It went from there really. I started more and more courses in fillers and gradually started to do the treatments. I then did my training as a GP, which took about a year after my hospital rotations, and while I was doing that I also did a

CORE OF KNOWLEDGE

Attention All CliniC/SAlon ownerS Lost revenue due to sickness and holidays ? Want to expand your Clinic to offer injectables ? Why lose out when we are just one phone call away ? 01273 666862 We can provide temporary Nurse Injectors/Aesthetic Doctors at late notice.

The classic laser and light training day covers the MHRA 2008 syllabus, hence plenty of interesting laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physics and basic photobiology. October 2010 brings significant changes to both laser and the wider cosmetic sector, with deregulation providing the impetus to liberalise the cosmetic market and bring cosmetic treatments into the scope of VAT. The Core of Knowledge is an ideal introduction for those new to laser/ILS technologies and a useful CPD refresher for more experienced practitioners.
