Interview with Global Medical News Network: Rundown of Upcoming Fillers
Posted September 03, 2009 4:06 PM in Cosmetic Fillers
The wonderful Betsy Bates of the Global Medical News Network interviewed me at recent Skin Disease Education Foundation Cosmetic Dermatology seminar in Santa Monica, which I chaired alongside Dr. Christopher Zachary.
I talk about the glut of upcoming hyaluronic acid fillers, which we've covered many times here. A new one I spoke about is Voluma, a thick, robust filler coming from Europe, as well as some of the potential benefits and problems of upcoming permanent fillers like Aquamid.
Enjoy!

Artefill Coming Back
Posted July 10, 2009 9:56 AM in Cosmetic Fillers
Suneva Medical is doing a soft re-launch of Artefill, which is a collagen-based dermal filler. Billed as "permanent" filler, it was discontinued in December when its original company, Artes Medical, filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7.
We will see if anything changes with the pricing or marketing strategy of the formerly doomed product.

Injectable fillers no longer on the "down low"
Posted July 10, 2009 9:55 AM in Cosmetic Fillers
A recent study from the research arm over at ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) regarding injectable fillers concluded that 87% of patients "come out" about it and 70% receive support from those who they tell.
We see that at SMAC... people are very happy to speak about their injectables, but for other things it is kept quiet.
Also, Dr. G and I are speaking at the Multi-Specialty Foundation meeting at the Bellagio in Vegas, and I will follow that up by speaking at The Aesthetic Show at Caesar's Palace later this weekend. Hot topics from these meetings will be posted on Twitter (@jpoznermd) and blogged about next week.

FDA to issue statement on illegal cosmetic surgery
Posted April 17, 2009 1:40 PM in Cosmetic Fillers
From today's NY Times:
"Health department officials say there may be other cases that have gone unreported, since doctors are not legally obligated to report silicone poisoning or even death, and since silicone is hard to detect through X-rays or CT scans. The department was planning Thursday to send an advisory by e-mail and fax to thousands of doctors advising them to watch for silicone poisoning cases.
Nationally, reports of buttock enhancement using silicone and similar thick liquids have surfaced from the Northeast to Miami, and the Food and Drug Administration is also planning to issue a warning on the dangers of such practices, Siobhan DeLancey, a spokeswoman, said Thursday."
