She was offered therapy with an infrared-generating device combined with hyaluronic acid and micronized calcium hydroxyapatite. The aim of the case report was to evaluate the clinical response to the therapy. The visual effect, particularly appreciated by the woman, was the modelling of the arms, a significant reduction in skin flaccidity, and a significant reduction in stretch marks. In the presented case, the combination of hyaluronic acid cross-linked with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and infrared gave satisfactory results due to its high tolerability and effectiveness. In addition, the therapy induced a visible change in elasticity, hydration, and firming of sagging skin.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"21 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139189921","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}

Turmeric and the bioactive substances extracted from it, are the subjects of research not only in medicine but also to demonstrate the positive effects of turmeric on skin conditions. The study aimed to present the results of scientific research on the potential applications of turmeric and its isolates in dermocosmetics. Recents studies indicate that curcumin isolated from turmeric has strong antioxidant activity and skin photodamageminimising properties. Additionally, due to inhibition of enzymes responsible for the degradation of collagen and elastin in the skin, curcumin is expected to be used in formulations that reduce the signs of ageing. On the other hand, the antiinflammatory and antimicrobial effects of active substances extracted from turmeric can be applied in preparations intended for acne-prone skin. It is also important that the ingredients of the cosmetic preparation provide stability to the active substances extracted from turmeric and increase their penetration into the deeper layers of the skin.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136168881","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}

Mammography is recognised as a non-invasive diagnostic technique; yet, there exists a notable deficiency in the frequency of routine preventative screenings among Polish women. The aim of this research was to address the following inquiries: why there is a lack of widespread participation among women in Poland in cost-free tests that have the potential to save their lives, and what factors might motivate their engagement in preventative programmes. In order to achieve this objective, a survey was undertaken. The early detection of breast cancer significantly enhances the likelihood of achieving a full remission. Although most Polish women are aware that they can take a preventive test, still too few women take a mammogram. There is a need for modifications to be made in the precautionary screening system in order to enhance women’s motivation to engage in preventive care.","PeriodicalId":408488,"journal":{"name":"Aesthetic Cosmetology and Medicine","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136168878","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}
