Non-surgical rejuvenation is gaining popularity because of minimal downtime, less expense and acceptable results. Though the field of anti-aging and facial rejuvenation is advancing rapidly with new information and new therapies, the basic principles remain the same. These include skin care with pharmaceutical and cosmeceuticals used on a daily basis; periodic use of Botulin toxins and fillers; and in some cases more invasive treatments such as chemical peels, heat technology (such as laser, radiofrequency or their variations) and plasma therapy. As new technologies evolve, our goal should be focused on the patient, honesty and achieving a balanced look, which may be part of an overall programme of health and self-improvement. Often this is achieved by a combination of tools.
Principles and Practice of Yoga for Rejuvenation
Published in Goh Cheng Soon, Gerard Bodeker, Kishan Kariippanon, Healthy Ageing in Asia, 2022
Rejuvenation means “to make or feel young again”. It can be defined as delaying or reversing the ageing process. It is a phenomenon of vitality and restoration of youthful condition which requires a strategy of repairing or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue, which is associated with ageing. Complete rejuvenation is the combination of physical, mental, sensorial, intellectual and spiritual rejuvenation as well.

Lastly, an appreciation of age-related changes and differences in skin type is extremely important when considering rejuvenation procedures. It is well-known that the dermis thins with age, and the relative elasticity of the skin as a whole increases. Recreating the thicker and healthier dermis of youth is the “Holy Grail” of skin rejuvenation. In addition, regardless of age, skin thickness and pigmentation differ between patients. This may have a profound effect on the results achieved with fillers. Certain areas where the dermis is particularly thin (such as the lower eyelid or dry vermillion border) deserve specific consideration when planning injectable-based treatments, in order to avoid palpable raised areas, inflammation, skin discoloration, and even ulceration. This topic will be explored in depth in later chapters.

From June 2017 to November 2017, the subjects who desired treatment for periorbital rejuvenation were enrolled in the study. Subjects aged 25–70 years were included in this study. The subjects agreed to restrict any other treatment for wrinkle correction during the study period. The exclusion criteria included skin disorders, wound infections on the face, a history of keloid or hypertrophic scar, a scar lasting for >1 year on the face or scar on the treatment area, administration of anticoagulant therapy (excluding low-dose aspirin therapy (100 mg; maximum 300 mg/day)) within two weeks, application of topical agents (i.e. steroids and retinoids, excluding cosmetics) on the face within four weeks, administration of antiwrinkle or acne therapy on the face within 3 months, administration of facial rejuvenation therapy or cosmetic surgery (including botulinum toxin injection or filler injection) within the last six months, administration of a permanent filler injection on the face, and participation in a drug trial or other investigational research study within 30 days.
Objective assessment of facial laxity changes after monopolar radiofrequency treatment by using moiré topography

The face gradually loses elasticity, decreases in volume, and shows increased skin laxity with age. The skin aging phenomenon can occur in various ways over time. Initially, fine wrinkles and dynamic rhytids appear, which become deeper and more static with time(1). These are related to changes in the connective tissues in the dermis, such as collagen and elastic fibers(2). With simultaneous aging and increasing aesthetic interests, the number of people who want to look younger is increasing. Surgical methods have been used for skin rejuvenation, but these methods are invasive, and the recovery time is long. Therefore, light-based devices, such as intense pulsed light, pulsed dye lasers, and Nd:YAG lasers, have been suggested as noninvasive and non-surgical rejuvenation methods (3–5). However, light-based devices are less effective because the light is dispersed from the skin surface, which means that less energy reaches below the skin(6). In addition, chromophores are important for the functioning of lasers; thus, this can be another reason why light-based devices are considered less effective. High-intensity focused ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF) are the most popular skin rejuvenation methods.
A novel autologous dermal filler based on cultured fibroblasts and plasma gel for facial wrinkles: Long term results

In this preliminary study we report the results of 10 healthy subjects who underwent Fibrogel filler injection for facial wrinkles. Our patients showed admirable clinical results immediately after the first injection, which were sustained after 12 months. The instantaneous filler effect of Fibrogel is remarkably superior than the prior fibroblast cell therapies which require longer period of time for clinical improvement (3). An ideal filler should be effective, long-lasting, easy to apply, immobile, nontoxic, non-allergic and with low risk of complications. Fibrogel is an autologous filler fundamentally composed of cultured fibroblasts and plasma gel, and can be considered as an advanced fibroblast cell therapy. It is easy to apply, compatible with tissue, effective at least for 12 months and lacks severe complications that might be experienced with other fillers. Moreover, it is a good rejuvenation option for patients who have previously experienced filler complications and/or are against foreign material injections, and seeking a natural rejuvenation option. Despite the low number of patients, we believe that the favorable long-term results in our study are promising for the development and usage of autologous fibroblast-based fillers in the near future.
