Article Abstract
As interest in skin aesthetics increases, treatments to suppress aging are increasing. Among them, a facelift is the most effective procedure for improving wrinkles. However, side effects including inflammatory reactions occur due to the limitations of the PDO thread itself used during the procedure. In this paper, to improve the function of PDO thread, inorganic particles such as magnesium hydroxide (MH) and zinc oxide (ZO) and a biologically active agent, asiaticoside, were coated on the surface of PDO thread using ultrasonic coating technology. The coated thread exhibited excellent biocompatibility, promoted collagen synthesis, reduced inflammation, and stimulated angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. The multifunctional PDO thread has shown promising potential for skin regeneration without inducing fibrosis. Such a practical coating system and the developed multifunctional PDO thread suggest new possibilities for developing safer and more effective materials in cosmetic and regenerative medicine to prevent aging and improve skin aesthetics.

Background: Noninvasive neck treatments, including lipolysis injectables, cryolipolysis, and energy-based devices, have become popular alternatives to surgery. While marketed as safe and effective, these procedures may induce fibrosis, tissue destruction, and anatomical changes that complicate secondary surgical interventions.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of prior noninvasive neck treatments on surgical complexity, intraoperative findings, and outcomes in secondary neck lift procedures.

Background: Infraorbital hollowness significantly impacts facial aesthetics, contributing to a tired and aged appearance. Traditional treatments, such as fillers and botulinum toxin, can lead to unnatural results. Volumizing threads offer a minimally invasive alternative for enhancing infraorbital and midcheek areas.

BACKGROUND Steroid-induced atrophy is a common complication of intralesional corticosteroid use, characterized by thinning of the dermis and epidermis, reduced fibroblast activity, and subcutaneous fat atrophy. Traditional treatment modalities, including topical therapies, dermal fillers, and fat grafting, often yield variable results and present limitations such as invasiveness, temporary effects, or complications. This case report presents a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of steroid-induced atrophic scars (SIAS) on the face, using fractional CO₂ laser therapy, recognized for its ability to promote dermal remodeling and scar improvement.

Breast thread lifting is a minimally invasive technique for correcting mild to moderate ptosis, offering aesthetic enhancement with reduced morbidity compared to traditional mastopexy. This review examines the anatomical underpinnings, clinical indications, technical nuances and limitations of breast thread lifting. The breast's fascial architecture, particularly the role of Cooper's ligaments and the retromammary space, critically influences thread trajectory and vector planning.
