Plastic Surgery: The Latest Aesthetic Laser Treatment Options

Posted: Published on November 11th, 2014

Los Angeles (PRWEB) November 10, 2014 On October 30, 2014, W Magazine posted an online report titled Beam Me Up that details the authors experience with dermal filler injections and aesthetic lasers treatments. The author provides information on a few of the latest innovations for treating acne, nasolabial folds, and unwanted tattoos. The report concludes with a description of laser bars that offer consumers multiple laser treatment options in one location. (see: goo.gl/7Z27jQ) I appreciate that W Magazine isnt a scientific journal, but I believe this article does a disservice to its readers," says Dr. Simon Ourian, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills. One of the treatments described is performed by only one physician in the entire U.S. Another treatment is hoping to get FDA approval in 2015. According to the W Magazine report, there is a doctor in California offering a treatment aimed at tightening the nasolabial folds by aiming the laser at the underlying tissue inside the mouth. To treat acne, another company is seeking FDA approval to use fine, gold-plated sand rubbed into the skin in conjunction with a hair-removal laser. Picosecond lasers that pulse light more quickly than older generation lasers are the latest innovation for … Continue reading →

International Stem Cell Corp. Gets FDA Clearance | Stem …

Posted: Published on November 11th, 2014

International Stem Cell Corp., a Carlsbad-based biotech company developing stem cell therapies and biomedical products, announced that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared the companys human parthenogenetic stem cell line for investigational clinical use. Human embryonic stem cells typically come from fertilized eggs. In 2007, however, scientists at International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) reported the first successful creation of human stem cell lines from unfertilized eggs, according to Scientific American. They used a process called parthenogenesis, in which researchers use chemicals to induce the egg to begin developing as if it had been fertilized. The egg called a parthenote behaves just like an embryo in the early stages of division. Because it contains no genetic material from a father, however, it cannot develop into a viable fetus. Just like embryonic stem cells, parthenogenetic stem cells can be coaxed to grow into different kinds of human cells or tissue, ready to be transplanted into diseased areas of the body. Many stem cell lines can never be used to develop commercial therapeutic products because they dont meet the FDAs ethical and quality standards, said Ruslan Semechkin, ISCOs chief scientific officer. With this clearance from the FDA, based on the … Continue reading →

Updated NOV 10, 2014 8:59p ET BARCELONA, Spain Rafael Nadal's doctor says the 14-time Grand Slam winner will receive stem cell treatment on his ailing back.
