Since 1983, the intermittent lifting and the uniform reinforcing-reducing methods have been applied for comparison in the treatment of 310 cases of persistent facial paralysis, with satisfactory results reported as follows.展开更多

Sagging can negatively impact self-perception and consequently quality of life. In order to fight against this aging sign, we developed a combination of three active ingredients: Tetrahydroxypropyl Ethylenediamine (THPE), Ononis Spinosa extract and Glycerin. In a clinical study, we assessed the efficacy of this association on facial sagging and wrinkles, with a special focus on immediate and lasting effects. Thirty-nine women applied the tested product daily during an eight-week treatment period. Clinical grading by experts and a new, easy to operate, 2-D imaging method were performed at different time points. The 2-D imaging method measured the upper eyelid lifting effect. The results showed an immediate and significant improvement in sagging and wrinkle parameters;these benefits were still observed seven hours after the first application. Results also showed a significant long-term improvement. The lifting effect calculated from the 2-D pictures was 1.08 mm immediately after application;the same method showed a 1.80 mm lifting effect following the eight-week treatment period. These results suggest that a skin care product combining THPE, Ononis Spinosa and Glycerin properties may be used to reduce sagging as well as wrinkles with both immediate and long term benefits.展开更多

Methods 15 endoscopic forehead-lift cases were treated from 1996 to 1999. The frontal and deep temporal fascia dissection were performed to produce a visualization pocket. The resection of the procerus and corrugator muscles were performed under direct vision to correct the imbalance of the muscles. The periosteum was also released along the supraobital rim. Results The results were satisfactory. The procedure was usually performed to rejuvenate the ptosis of the eyebrow, to eliminate the temporal and glabellar wrinkles as well. Conclusion Small incision, less bleeding, mild numbness and less alopecia are the advantages of endoscopic operation.展开更多
