  device-based treatment market. It is a situation
  that makes it paramount to know where these
  device-based interventions stand. There is an
  increase in the demand for cosmetic procedures,
  but this is not something new.
• Since time immemorial, societies all over the
  world have looked for ways to improve
  attractiveness/ appearance. The technical basis
  for current practices comes from processes
  undertaken by our ancestors. Even so, aesthetic
  medicine has come a long way.
• It is a type of medicine in which development has
  dramatically improved due to modern technology.
  Not so long ago, many of the cosmetic processes
  were invasive, which made it a not so attractive
  endeavour. Invasive beauty restoration techniques
  are the likes of reconstructive surgery, plastic
  surgery, and dermatology.

Aesthetic Devices

• According to a recent study, the market for
  Medical Aesthetic Devices stood at 7.3 billion
  in 2017. The market segments for these devices
  are facial aesthetic implants, aesthetic
  implants, cosmetic energy/ laser devices, body
  contouring/ skin tightening devices. Here are
  some of the newer, but widely tools used for
  cosmetic procedures
• 1. Radio Frequency Machine
• The Radio Frequency Machine is one of the
  non-invasive devices that treat skin laxity
  disorder. It helps to tighten the skin for a
  better look. Biomolecular changes cause collagen
  fibre damages, which result in skin laxity.
• The best way to treat this condition is via skin
  tightening procedures, and the Radio Frequency
  Machines do just that. Over the years, invasive
  treatments brought about skin tightening with
  significant success. Even so, the complications
  and sequelae that came with invasive procedure
  drove the need for better options.
• Radio Frequency is one of the more efficient ways
  to solve skin issues. Studies show that
  electromagnetic fields (EMF) administered
  indirectly or directly stand out when it comes to
  cell influence. Nonablative radiofrequency is the
  most common type of EMF used by cosmetic care
  specialists.

• It is a therapeutic modality that increases
  tissue temperature in a controlled and selective
  way. Nonablative radiofrequency uses high
  frequency ranging from 0.3 to 10 MHz with
  alternating current. With this device, the rise
  of temperatures in your skin depends on
  biological tissues impedance and the level of
  energy.
• A Radio Frequency machine induces thermal damage,
  stimulating collagen conformation changes. The
  tool also assists in the production of
  neocollagenesis in subcutaneous tissue and other
  broad areas of your skin. There have been studies
  that aim at figuring out the effectiveness of
  Radio Frequency Machines.

• Radio Frequency Machines Level of Success
• According to an NCBI investigation, there are
  positive results after a radio frequency machine
  use. The study accessed radio frequency effects
  on facial laxity, body laxity, and wrinkles.
  Results show that EMF can cause a thermal and
  (or) thermal effects.
• EMF also affects elastic fibre and synthesis of
  mucopolysaccharides in a way that improves
  elasticity and firmness of the skin. A radio
  frequency machine is, therefore, effective and
  safe. Clinical evidence indicates that it can
  cure body contours, reduce cellulite, and
  rejuvenate facial skin.
• 2. The VermaDerm
• Specialists consider VermaDerm to be one of the
  most efficient ways of administering aesthetic
  treatments. It is a type of technology that
  utilizes wavelengths ranging from 850 to 1750 nm.
  This technology is able rejuvenates/ tightens the
  skin, and deals with body contours.

• Skin penetration by a VermaDerm technology device
  is via infrared rays. Its waves go into your skin
  up to 4 mm deep. Depending on the machine, you
  can deliver energy in rapid burst and adjust
  fluency. It helps to control temperature and
  thermal effects in the skin.
• A VermaDerm device uses LP IR energy and delivers
  it in multi-second pulses. Fluency is between 5
  to 60 J/cm3. Once the LP IR energy goes into the
  skin, the Intracellular Fluid absorbs the rays.
  This fluid warms your skins collagen fibers by
  acting as a chromophore.
• The moment your collagen fibers get heated up,
  they contract leading to tighter skin. Studies
  show that with many cycles of heat, your skin
  achieves long-term firmness and tightness. A
  VermaDerm session leads to new elastin and
  collagen.
• Many LP IR handpieces can shield the epidermis
  layer from damage because they have a cooling
  mechanism via a sapphire contact. According to
  specialists, the VermaDerm technology is ideal
  for also stretch marks and lax skin.

• Evidence that VermaDerm Works
• Without a doubt, VermaDerm is a successful method
  for administering non-invasive aesthetic
  medicine. Increase in VermaDerm device market
  sales in recent years points to better public
  trust towards the infrared rays method. According
  to a study by MarketsandMarkets Research Pvt Ltd,
  experts predict an aesthetic product industry
  valued at 14.17 billion by 2021.
• It comes on the backdrop of an 8.2 billion
  market value in 2016. The success of devices such
  as the VermaDerm is instrumental in the success
  of the cosmetic treatments industry as a whole.
  Like all other non-invasive treatments, VermaDerm
  offers faster/ effective results with lower
  treatment risks.
• There has been a rise in skin disorders around
  the globe. It has seen many patients seek skin
  therapy, avoiding invasive treatments while at
  it. The inventors of the VermaDerm must be glad
  their technology works.

• 3. Dynamic Pulse Control Machine
• The Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC) is a device that
  uses advanced technology consisting of pulsed
  light. It can improve your appearance and skin
  texture. According to numbers from aesthetic
  clinics, most of the people who receive a pulsed
  light session are those with skin affected by
  sunlight, age, or environmental pollution.
• The use of the DPC device has increased due to a
  demand for light-based treatments, aesthetic, and
  non-ablative. The good thing about non-ablative
  therapies is that they are safe for any skin type
  or age group. Nowadays, many patients seeking
  no-downtime procedures go for the DPC device
  therapy.

• Their effectiveness
• Mr. B. Czajkowsky, a SharpLight Medical Advisor,
  shared his thoughts after performing skin photo
  rejuvenation sessions. The treatment was for 30
  patients, and Czajkowsky and his colleagues used
  580 nm and 535 nm handpieces. The Formax/ Omnimax
  SR (850 nm) handpiece treats textural damages
  like medium and fine lines wrinkles, dull skin
  conditions, and open pores.
• The other handpiece, which was the Formax/
  Ormnimax VP (535 nm), gets rid of vascular
  lesions and superficial pigments. Both of these
  devices use IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) which
  incorporates Skin Contact Cooling (SCC) and
  Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC). SCC and DPC are as a
  result of the worldwide technological
  advancements.
• The developers of the DPC aimed at optimizing
  light pulse configuration to enable experts
  administering treatment adjust with the clinical
  situations. Therefore, cure depends on specific
  dermatological lesions and individual patient
  skin characteristics. The DPC offers three pulse
  configuration options, which are the High Pulse,
  the Long Pulse, and the Smooth Pulse.

11

• Contact Cooling came about to curb secondary
  epidermal effects. Issues such as burns are now
  preventable because this technology helps to
  maintain a low epidermal temperature throughout a
  treatment session. It has enabled better patient
  comfort and safety, plus pain reduction.
• With the two devices, Mr. Czajkowsky could safely
  deliver higher light fluencies. The treatments
  were in four parts, spaced throughout four weeks.
  Therapies involved 30 female subjects, with ages
  ranging from 35 to 65 years.
• There was a follow-up by the specialists on the
  patients every 48 hours after each procedure. The
  follow-ups aimed at assessing any potential
  complications and immediate effects. There was a
  final patient check out a month or so after the
  final program.
• One of the physicians in Czajkowskys group
  played the role of comparing post and
  pre-treatment paragraphs. He assigned a grade of
  1-5 for every patient to narrow down even the
  slightest changes that had occurred. The results
  confirmed DPCs working capability.

12

• The Aftermath
• 90 of all the patients who attended the sessions
  experienced skin clearance. The rates of blemish
  removal stood at 90 to 70. The good results are
  due to the Pulse Form Technology. The only
  adverse effect experienced was the marked
  erythema.
• Two patients experienced this side effect and it
  lasted for only 2 to 5 days. Twenty-seven
  patients signed that they were delighted with the
  results, while two patients were moderately
  satisfied. Only one patient termed the experience
  non-satisfactory.
• 4. Laser Machine
• Over the years, there has been a lot of use for
  lasers in the medical world. Their application
  has touched on the surgeries in the eyes and
  tissues, laser scalpel/ therapy, plus various
  dental procedures. In the cosmetic industry, the
  use of lasers has increased simultaneously with
  technological advancements.
• Both intrusive and non-intrusive aesthetic
  treatments make use of laser technology. It is
  difficult to find a modern med-aesthetic clinic
  that does not use updated cosmetic laser
  machines. It is crucial in keeping abreast with
  the competition since there is high consumer
  demand.

• Laser machines can bring about hair/ wrinkles
  reduction, treatment of scars and acne, skin
  blemish removal, plus even tattoo removal. To
  realize whether laser machines work, you first
  need to understand their evolution. Ever since
  laser became part of cosmetic operations, there
  have been significant changes.

  below
• Hair The most common type of lasers for hair
  removal are the 810 nm Diode and YAG lasers. All
  the procedures here are non-invasive and use
  light. The light targets hair growth cells,
  destroying them without harming your surrounding
  skin.
• Skin resurfacing Skin resurfacing is a new, but
  popular method of bettering ones appearance. It
  utilizes various types of lasers depending on the
  procedure required. The different lasers in this
  category include CO2 Lasers (10,600 nm) and
  Erbium YAG (2940 nm).
• Tattoos For tattoo removal, the best lasers are
  the YAG lasers, the Q- Switched, and the
  Alexandrite (755 nm). All these types of lasers
  can be used together in one session to cover your
  tattoos full spectrum of colors. These lasers
  generate heat that breaks down the ink on your
  body.
