2025-08-14T10:21:36+00:00

Modern eyelid surgery focuses on functional outcome and aesthetic expectations of certain interventions. Clinicians need to be expert in the diagnosis and surgical management of these conditions, and in the preoperative assessment and appropriate management of expectations. The description of most common abnormal eyelid positions: dermatochalasis, ptosis, entropion as well as ectropion is included in this article. Reconstructive techniques and their potential complications are discussed, presenting the wide range of clinical and surgical challenges. The ideal intervention combines the restoration of optimal eyelid function and aesthetic harmony, providing patients with both good visual function and a natural, healthy appearance.

2025-08-14T10:26:39+00:00

Periorbital area is one of the most common target of facial aesthetic procedures. There are a wide range of tools for rejuvenation of the periorbital area, surgical and non-surgical approaches. The patients should receive the most appropriate treatment from these options. For that reason we have to be fully aware of the available options and their limitations. The aim of this article is to introduce the surgical upper and lower blepharoplasty in details, including the indications, contraindications, surgical steps, possible complications and to present the role of non-surgical techniques, too.

Rejuvenation of the eyelids by thermal ionisation technology

2025-08-14T10:31:37+00:00

The periorbital region has been always in the focus of aesthetic treatments as the ageing of this region of the face causes a sad and weary appearance. Treatments which give natural and fresh appearence are in the focus of today’s trend of aesthetics. Earlier, the possible rejuvenation treatment of the periorbital region was surgical (blepharoplasty) or laser assisted, or by injecting hialuronic acid fillers. Since 2009, a noninvasive plasma technology has provided a new, effective solution for dermatochalasis (skin redundancy of the upper eyelid). The thermal ionisation technology is a modern, medical procedure which can be used for removal of different tissues (skin, mucosa, soft tissue). General dermatologists remove benign lesions (fibroma, seborrhoic keratosis, xanthelasma, viral warts), aesthetic dermatologists make rejuvenation of the eyelids, treat scars, strias, pigmented lesions. The aim of our article was to present the efficacy and technology of the eyelids treatments and the adventages and disadvanteges of the procedures.

New age of cosmetology procedures with picosecond lasers

2025-08-14T10:36:36+00:00

Picosecond laser technology stands as one of the most advanced and promising tools in dermatology and aesthetic medicine, enabling precise and targeted treatment of various skin layers with minimal thermal impact and short recovery times. The first section of this article provides a detailed overview of the physical characteristics of picosecond lasers, with particular emphasis on phenomena such as Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) and Diffractive Optical Elements (DOE), which play crucial roles in the tissue interaction mechanisms of laser energy. Subsequently, we examine the indications for picosecond lasers within cosmetic practice, including the treatment of epidermal and dermal pigmented lesions, surgical scars, as well as skin rejuvenation and wrinkle reduction. In the concluding part of the article, we present case studies demonstrating the practical applications of picosecond laser treatments, highlighting the advantages of the PicoSculptur® method and the differences in treatment approaches between male and female facial skin. The aim of this summary is to provide a comprehensive overview of the role and power of picosecond lasers in modern cosmetic practice, emphasizing the technology's precision, versatility, and the benefits it offers to patients.

Filler and Cog threads harmony: an integrated approach to facial rejuvenation

2025-08-14T10:42:10+00:00

The aging process of the face involves complex, multi-layered changes. Midface volume loss and sagging caused by other factors are among the most prominent signs of aesthetic aging, making their reduction one of the most sought-after treatments in medical aesthetics. Modern minimally invasive treatments, such as hyaluronic acid filling and absorbable thread lifting, can correct these changes. Current trends favor the combined use of the two techniques to achieve the most natural and long-lasting results possible. The article aims to present the scientific background, clinical indications, application aspects, and latest technological innovations of combination treatment strategies, thereby supporting colleagues in the field of holistic facial rejuvenation.
