Isolagen Initiates Phase III Clinical Program to Investigate Isolagen ...
EXTON, Pa., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isolagen(TM), Inc. (AMEX: ILE) announces the initiation of a Phase III clinical program to investigate Isolagen Therapy(TM) for the treatment of moderate to severe acne scars. Isolagen also has a pivotal Phase III clinical program underway to evaluate the Isolagen Therapy in treating nasolabial folds, or wrinkles. "Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from acne which often scars, a condition that can be very distressing and difficult to treat as there are few options currently available," said Nicholas L. Teti, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Isolagen. "We are pleased to be initiating this important clinical development program which we believe will address this largely unmet medical need." Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Isolagen Therapy in patients with moderate to severe acne scarring on both sides of the face.
Hyaluronic Acid Stimulates Collagen Production
Injections with "dermal fillers" containing hyaluronic acid appear to stimulate production of collagen, a primary protein in the skin. This means that dermal fillers may actually restore the structure of sun-damaged skin, according to an article in the February issue of Archives of Dermatology. Injectable skin fillers have become increasingly popular for correcting the lines and wrinkles associated with aging, as well as acne scars and other skin conditions. Hyaluronic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in the skin and connective tissue, is among the most widely used fillers in the United States. Its molecules bind to water in the skin, hydrating and firming its structure, and the loss of hyaluronic acid with aging is associated with skin dehydration and wrinkling. .
CoolTouch Introduces CoolLipo(TM) Laser System, Recently FDA Cleared ...
CoolTouch Inc., a pioneering manufacturer of medical lasers, announced that the CoolLipo(TM) 1320 nm laser system received an additional 510(K) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for laser lipolysis or melting fat. The CoolLipo 1320 laser is designed to ablate fat in areas such as the neck, chin and arms and improves the outcome of conventional liposuction in larger areas such as the abdomen and thighs. In addition, the unique 1320 nm wavelength tightens the skin from the inside out by directly targeting collagen and connective tissue. The CoolLipo procedure is performed in a physician's office under local anesthesia. Patient benefits include minimal, if any bruising, and less recovery time and cost than a face or neck lift.
"Patients find the procedure fits within their time schedule and their budget," states David R.
Leo and Bar Are Back (Her Especially) in Beachwear
Leonardo DiCaprio must be voting absentee, because right now he's living the good life with his hot girlfriend Bar Refaeli down in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It's almost a whole month since their last beach vacation, so it's understandable that he feels the need for another one. And it's not like it's any big secret why he would want to have his lady friend in a bikini as much as possible. It looks like while Leo was mostly enamored by his girl's assets, he also made sure to keep up to date on his BlackBerry and document his vacation on the digital camera. Most of all though, how much are you loving his beach hat? .
What the fans say...
The real test starts at the Stadium of Light. Alex Perras, Soccernet reader Super-sub Claudio Pizarro kept our Premier League title hopes alive with the only goal of the game late on against a battling Birmingham team at St Andrews. Coincidentally the Peru international's only other goal for Blues since his summer move from Bayern Munich had been on the opening day of the season against the same opposition. He obviously needs to score more goals but the winner here was very welcome. Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Middlesbrough Alan Griffiths: More of a point gained than points lost in this home game against Boro. By rights if Boro had put their chances away, a true reflection of their dominance would have been a 4-1 win in their favour. Once renowned for our no nonsense defending, the defence has lost its cohesion and marking at set pieces would now allow room for a bus to drive through it.
