AESTHETIC MEDICINE I
Two methods of administering platelet rich plasma therapy
Microneedling
Injection
A non-surgical fat reduction treatment using injectable compounds to break down fat cells
Mesolipo
IDENTIFY THE TERM: light rays are parallel to each other
Collimated
What are the two classification of lasers? BONUS (x5): Give all types for each classification.
Ablative: CO2 Fractional, Erbium YAG
Non Ablative: Nd:YAG, Pulsed dye laser, Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
Injectable treatments that stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production for long-term skin tightening and volumization.
Biostimulators
What do you call the enzyme that degrades hyaluronic acid (HA), a component of the extracellular matrix, used in medicine to increase drug absorption and dispersion, and to dissolve HA-based fillers.
Hyaluronidase
What do you call the aesthetic complication arising from the excessive and/or incorrect placement of dermal fillers, leading to a distorted, unnatural, and heavy facial appearance.
Facial Overfilled Syndrome
Unit of measurement for power
Watts
uses a continuous wave of carbon dioxide laser to produce infrared beams of energy. This light energy will begin contracting the skin by denaturing collagen throughout the skin layer
CO2 Fractional Laser
What tattoo pigment is the hardest to remove?
BONUS (x2): What is the relation between wavelength and energy? If wavelength increases, energy _______ (increase/decrease)?
Red; inversely related (decreases)

What chromophores does Nd:YAG laser targets?
Which among the three dermal fillers lasts the longest?
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA)
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA)
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic Acid (6-16 mos)
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (12 mos)
Poly-L-Lactic Acid (24 mos)
What bacteria produces the neurotoxin used for botox therapy?
Clostridium botulinum
time or duration of the pulse emitted by a pulsed laser, in seconds
Pulse width
Give 4 therapy program preset in IPL machine?
Hair removal
Pigmentation therapy

What do you call the condition where there is excessive sweating that's not always related to heat or exercise
Hyperhidrosis
Name three types of threads
Mono threads
Screw threads
Cog threads
What are the three layers of a centrifuged blood sample? Differentiate the three.
Plasma: Liquid component of blood, containing water, proteins, salts, sugars, hormones, and other substances.
Erythrocytes: contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen; form the bottom, red-colored layer
Buffy coat: A thin, whitish layer containing white blood cells (leukocytes) and platelets, located between the plasma and erythrocytes
What parameters can be adjusted in diode? (3)
Energy density, Pulse Width, Frequency
Differentiate CO2 Fractional Laser & Erbium YAG Laser?
CO2 Fractional Laser:
uses a continuous wave of carbon dioxide laser to produce infrared beams of energy. This light energy will begin contracting the skin by denaturing collagen throughout the skin layer
Erbium YAG Laser:
Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser produces a laser light that is faster absorbed 12-18 times greater than CO2 lasers
