Wrinkle Fillers Update
Next to Botox, the most popular nonsurgical way to freshen up your looks is with a so-called "soft tissue" filler,
often relied on to smooth the nose-to-mouth line called the nasolabial or nasal labial fold. As more of these fillers
have become available and demand has soared, physicians who inject them have learned more about how to use them effectively
to wipe away the years, say physicians speaking at the annual meeting of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
in San Diego. Among the popular fillers are those with hyaluronic acid, such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, and
Elevess; and those that are synthetic, such as Artefill, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Typical costs are $500 and above per syringe,
with more definitive folds needing more filler. The Goal: Don't Obliterate It The goal of using
the fillers should be not to "obliterate" the line but to restore it to how it used to look, says H. Steve Byrd,
MD, a Dallas plastic surgeon and clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
at Dallas. Byrd spoke on a panel about effective management of the nasolabial fold. "I like patients to bring
in photos of themselves 10 or 20 years ago," he says, and he uses the photographs as a guide. Nasal Labial
Crease vs. Nasolabial Fold It's important to distinguish between a nasolabial crease versus a fold, says Miles
H. Graivier, MD, an Atlanta plastic surgeon who also spoke on the topic. When gravity sets in further, the crease
can develop into a fold, where the skin droops down over the crease, he says. For moderate to less severe folds,
one of the dermal fillers may be enough, he says. But for deep folds, just injecting filler may not solve the problem, he
says. For these, he uses an incision-less dissection device that includes a needle and wire; when inserted, it
releases the deep lines by separating them from the underlying tissues. Then a filler can be injected more easily, if it's
still needed, says Graivier, who serves on the medical advisory panel for the device's manufacturer. Long-Term
Filler Results The filler calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), already on the market, performed well in a postmarketing
study that included an average of 30 months of follow up, according to Lawrence Bass, MD, a New York plastic surgeon
and clinical assistant professor of plastic surgery at NYU School of Medicine. Radiesse, approved in December 2006
by the Food and Drug Association, is one of the synthetic dermal fillers. Bass oversaw the long-term follow-up study. He has
worked as a consultant for filler companies, including the maker of Radiesse. In the follow-up study, an independent
panel of doctors evaluated how the nasolabial folds treated with Radiesse looked long-term compared to a picture taken before
the injections. All participants got at least two injections, one at the study start and one six months later. Some also had
a touch-up injection two weeks after the first one. At the three-year follow-up, one one-third of the 89 women still enrolled
at this point had improvement, Bass says. The FDA originally approved labeling that Radiesse would typically last
six months, Bass says. "It's very clear it's longer than that." During the longer-term study,
Bass tells WebMD, no adverse events such as infection or nodules forming were reported. On the Horizon?
Yet another dermal filler, Glymatrix collagen, is under study. It's derived from pig collagen, says Z. Paul Lorenc,
MD, an aesthetic plastic surgeon in Manhattan and assistant professor of surgery at the New York University School of Medicine.
He was the principal investigator for a study comparing the new filler with a hyaluronic acid filler. Participants
got one side injected with the new filler and the other with the hyaluronic acid filler. Of the 145 participants
evaluated 12 months after injections, 76% still had improvement in the side injected with the Glymatrix collagen, Lorenc reported
at the meeting. They had less bleeding, bruising, and swelling on the Glymatrix side than the other side. The participants
said they could feel the Glymatrix more than the other filler. The brand name of the new filler, not yet FDA approved,
is expected to be Evolence, says Lorenc, who has worked as a consultant for the manufacturer of the new filler and for other
filler companies.

Care. I
personally see every new patient who visits our office. I am not just a physician, I am a Board Certified Dermatologist. My goal is, quite simply, to provide the type of dermatologic care which I would
seek for my own family. This is a very important point, since physicans often use the phrase "Doctor's Doctor" to refer to those individuals who typically are selected by physicians
themselves for personal care. I am confident that my practice fully meets that definition. This is the type of 5-star care and
service that our patients expect, deserve and receive. I treat every patient the way I would want to be treated: with courtesy,
dignity and respect. I carefully listen to their skin-care concerns and offer a variety of options including a treatment plan
that I believe will give them the best results. We also support our patients with a very fine medical staff . Please take
a moment to explore our top of the line winning website. My philosophy is simple…Experience Counts
and Quality Matters. Please allow me to solve your skin problems. After all, at NYC Dermatology , our
philosophy is if you look great you will feel great with gorgeous skin.” Best Regards, Dr. Rothfeld
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating rare reports of serious adverse events
linked with Botox, Botox Cosmetic and Myobloc. If you have already received Botox injections
or are considering Botox injections for cosmetic reasons, here's what you need to know. The investigation is still in
its infancy; this Q&A will be updated as new information becomes available. Why is the
FDA looking into the safety of Botox? A Washington, D.C.-based consumer watchdog group called
Public Citizen reviewed FDA data and found that the agency had received reports of 180 U.S. cases of people developing sometimes
life-threatening conditions, including respiratory failure, after receiving Botox injections (botulinum Types A and B). Sixteen
deaths had occurred, four of which were of children less than 18 years old. Public Citizen then filed a petition with the
FDA calling for stronger and more widely disseminated warnings concerning these risks. What
sanctions is Public Citizen calling for? Pubic Citizen is asking for a "black box"
warning on Botox products. This is the strongest warning that the FDA can place on a product. The group also wants doctors
to inform patients receiving Botox injections about the potential risks and alert them to possible warning signs of severe
adverse reactions. How are the Botox manufacturers responding to this investigation?
Allergan, the company that manufactures Botox and Botox Cosmetic, fully supports the investigation and
is working with the FDA to ensure that it has all of the information needed for a thorough review. The company stands by the
safety of its product. "Since its approval, over a million people have been treated with
Botox Cosmetic," said Sef Kurstjens, MD, chief medical officer for Allergan, in a written statement. "In its entire
history, there has never been a single reported death where a causal link to Botox Cosmetic was established."
In addition, Solstice Neurosciences, the manufacturer of Myobloc, stated that it fully supports the FDA
review of Botox and remains committed to providing the agency with any information it needs. Did
any of the reported adverse effects occur in people using Botox to reduce fine lines and wrinkles? No.
The most serious adverse events occurred mainly among children with cerebral palsy who were treated for spasticity of their
limbs. This is not currently an FDA-approved use of Botox injections in either adults or children. Were
the Botox injections defective or tainted? No. No evidence exists that the Botox products were
defective in any way. The FDA stated that these adverse effects may have been related to overdosing. According to some reports,
these children may have been receiving a dose up to 28 times greater than the amount injected into cosmetic Botox users.
How did the Botox injection in the limbs affect these children's lungs? The
active ingredient in Botox, botulinum toxin Types A and B, may spread from distant parts of the body to the muscles that affect
breathing. This is reflected in current product labeling. Is Botox safe? Yes. Very. According to both the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and its sister organization,
the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Botox is extremely safe. More than one million people have received Botox
injections. Year after year, Botox ranks number one among nonsurgical cosmetic procedures among both men and women. Complications
are rare; the most common side effects include bruising and numbness at the injection site, headache, nausea and flu-like
symptoms. How can I ensure that I am safe if I decide to receive Botox injections?
Step 1. Do your research. ASAPS suggests asking your doctor the following questions before
you receive Botox injections: - What is your board certification? (Doctors certified in either
plastic surgery or dermatology are most qualified to give Botox injections.)
- How were you trained
to do injectable treatments?
- Do you regularly provide Botox treatments?
- How many people have you treated who have a condition similar to mine?
- Will you personally
inject me? If not, what are the qualifications of the person who will?
Step 2.
Be alert to signs and symptoms of serious problems. Although serious complications from Botox are extremely rare,
their warning signs including worsening or unexpected difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, trouble breathing or muscle weakness.
Seek medical attention if any of these symptoms occur. These effects have been reported as early as one day and as late as
several weeks after Botox injections. Are other injectables safe? The
new investigation concerns only Botox. It does not relate to — or affect — other available injectables on the
market or in the pipeline. Each injectable has its own benefit and safety profile. Talk to your doctor about which one is
right for your needs.
What is Botox? Botox
is produced from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is commonly associated with food poisoning. In small,
diluted amounts, however, Botox can be injected directly into specific muscles, causing a controlled weakening. It has cosmetic
and medical uses. Are there different types of Botox? Yes. Botox
Cosmetic and Botox are both derived from botulinum toxin Type A, and Myobloc is derived from botulinum Type B. Another type
of Botox may be available someday soon. Already approved in more than 60 countries, Dysport/Reloxin, an injectable form of
botulinum toxin Type A, is moving down the pike. Stay tuned. What are the approved —
and unapproved — uses of Botox injections? In April 2002, the FDA approved Botox Cosmetic
for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), but often it is used off-label
on crows' feet, forehead creases and bands on the neck. Botox is approved for spasm of the eyelids (blepharospasm), severe
neck muscle spasms (cervical dystonia) and excessive sweating (severe primary axillary hyperhydrosis). Myobloc is approved
for the treatment of adults with cervical dystonia. (It has not been tested sufficiently in children with cervical dystonia.)
Currently Botox is being studied to treat a laundry list of other conditions, from knee and hip osteoarthritis to migraine
headache and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). What is off-label use? Off-label use refers to the somewhat common practice in which doctors use an approved medication for a reason that
has doesn't have FDA approval. This practice can be both legal and ethical in many situations. How
does Botox affect wrinkles? Certain wrinkles are created when nerve cells within the skin's
muscles release a chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine, in turn, triggers muscle contractions that create wrinkles.
Botox blocks the release of acetylcholine, which paralyzes the muscle, stopping the contraction and erasing the wrinkle.
How long do the effects of Botox last on wrinkles? Typically the effect
of Botox injections on wrinkles lasts three to six months. http://www.nycdermatologist.com/
