Spilanthol displays a broad spectrum of biological activity, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-cancer and bacteriostatic effects. In addition, it inhibits contractions of the facial muscles, and thanks to it was called a natural herbal botox. The interest in spilanthol by the cosmetics industry, leads that effective methods of its isolation from plant material are still being sought. The aim of the study was to present the possibility of using spilanthol in cosmetology and aesthetic dermatology. In this work, application studies presented, confirm the possibility of its use as a natural component of anti-wrinkle cosmetics.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126995402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the article to summarize the current scientific knowledge available regarding the use of probiotic bacteria in the cosmetology industry. Probiotics do not show carcinogenic effects, and even show a protective effect before their development and are safe to use.

The aim of the study was to indicate the vibration parameters which, after a single treatment, will affect selected skin features, composition and body circumferences of women with lipodystrophy. A study was conducted among 33 women who were divided into two groups and underwent a one-time vibration treatment with the use of low and high vibration parameters. Changes in body parameters were noticed in all women. Vibration treatments used to eliminate cellulite must be performed in series. With a single treatment, the use of a less intense stimulus may bring more beneficial effects to the skin. Studies with an extended observation protocol will indicate in the future whether these beneficial effects are adaptable.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"243 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115262945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to present how selected sports disciplines affect the morphological structure of the feet, with emphasis on the formation of hallux valgus. Regular physical activity strengthens the muscles and ligaments of the foot. Most sports do not lead to the formation of hallux valgus, also they can slow down the process of its formation. More frequent occurrence of hallux valgus among female dancers may be due to the wearing of high heels. Foot defects may also appear in people who, as a result of practicing sports, suffer injuries in the distal parts of the lower limb and in those with an increased Body Mass Index.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127345663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
