Each patient received two treatments: the first at baseline, and the second on Day 30. Using the IBSA Neck Skin Laxity Scale (IBSA NSLS), physicians evaluated photographs of the patients' necks at baseline, Day 30, and Day 90. Before treatment on Day 30 and at the follow-up visit on Day 90, physicians and patients assessed clinical improvement and satisfaction related to skin laxity, firmness, and texture. After each treatment, the patients recorded their pain level using a visual analogue scale. The mean IBSA NSLS grades for all patients significantly decreased from 3.08 at baseline to 2.12 at follow-up (p < .0001). At Day 90, the most frequent response from all participants was that their neck laxity and skin firmness and tone was either improved or much improved and their skin texture was very much improved. Following the injections, the patients reported low to moderate pain levels. In this real-world satisfaction survey involving patients from Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, the physicians concluded that Profhilo® was an effective and well tolerated treatment for improving neck skin laxity, firmness, tone, and texture in patients of varying ages, genders, and baseline skin laxity and wrinkle severity.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"163-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12316115/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring procedures can help prevent or reduce these changes. Traditional approaches for lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring include surgical facelifts; however, using less invasive procedures to achieve these outcomes is becoming increasingly popular. This article introduces the L-Lift, a novel technique for jawline contouring in Southeast Asians. The L-Lift involves administering sequential calcium hydroxylapatite injections along the lower border of the mandible and subzygomatic arch (lateral cheek) depression. We present three cases that demonstrate its efficacy and safety. In all cases, the L-Lift effectively improved jawline contour and reduced jowls. The patients were highly satisfied, and the results were still evident when they presented for their follow-up appointments. The L-Lift provides subtle rejuvenation, does not lead to an overly masculine appearance, and aligns with regional aesthetic preferences. Notably, patients with severe facial sagging may require alternative interventions. Tailoring treatments to patient needs is crucial for obtaining optimal results.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"180-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593129","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}

I explore relevant issues in APRN aesthetic practice in relation to four major ethical principles of nursing (i.e., autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice). I performed a comprehensive literature review of seven electronic bibliographic databases using various inclusion and exclusion criteria as search limiters. Despite the aesthetic specialty's unique challenges, rapid growth, and evidence-based foundation, the search revealed only a limited amount of peer-reviewed literature addressing ethical considerations specific to aesthetic APRNs. Notably, within the limited ethical literature not specific to APRNs, consistent themes emerged related to informed consent, aesthetics as medicine, the economics/marketing of aesthetics, and a need for establishing order. Analysis of these common themes and their relevance to advanced aesthetic nursing scope of practice is essential to defining the role of the aesthetic APRN. Likewise, thematic analysis helps identify gaps in the literature informing APRN aesthetic practice and reveals ethical challenges that may pose undue risk to aesthetic patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"157-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593120","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}
