BEST AESTHETIC DEVICE

3D LIFE VIZ® INFINITY, QUANTIFICARE

The LifeViz® Infinity is the first portable 3D imaging system capable of capturing face, body, and breast areas thanks to two sets of dual beamer pointers which allow for two distance settings. This unique system has two acquisition modes. A tripod mounted camera and turntable quickly capture a 360° 3D body image. Eight images are automatically taken and seamlessly stitched to produce a ‘life-like’ 3D image of the body for visualization by the physician and patient. In hand-held mode, the camera is capable of generating 3D images of face and breast to simulate procedures and photo-document before/after interventions, without blocking an entire exam room with cumbersome equipment.

With a simple flip of a switch, dual beam pointers adjust to the distance ideal for face or body applications without the need for cumbersome repositioning and/or multi-headed systems. Superior image quality has been achieved by improving the optic performance. The LifeViz® Infinity produces excellent pictures from both near and far thanks to an increased deep field of view. Finally, a powerful external flash removes the need for specific lighting conditions and additional equipment ensuring reproducible images from one session to the next. The LifeViz® Infinity is comprised of a portable stereovision camera, a software suite including an image database, 3D viewer tool, 3D skin analysis, face, breast, and body measurements and simulation modules. All aspects of 3D documentation, comparison, simulation, and measurement ranging from medical to cosmetic applications are possible with this single unique device.

BEST COSMETIC PRODUCT
MESO CIT HAIR CARE, MEDIDERMA

With the passage of time and exposure to the sun, our skin suffers changes which correlate to the signs of ageing: the barrier function of the skin deteriorates, the expression and response activity of growth factors decreases, oxidative stress increases, and the solidity of the dermo-epidermal juncture decreases. MESO CIT, with growth factors encapsulated in liposomes which are able to reach the deepest layers of the skin, allows us to observe improvement in hair loss. Meso cit hair care stimulates the hair follicle stem cells through the use of the growth factor follistatin encapsulated in liposomes together with a powerful combination of active anti-hair loss agents, capable of penetrating and acting on the deepest layers of the skin.

BEST TIGHTENING THREAD
APTOS THREADS, APTOS LL

Aptos threads are a non-invasive method of face and body lifting, contouring, and rejuvenation. The methods were invented in 1996 by Georgian plastic surgeon Dr. Marlen Sulamanidze and developed by Dr. George and Konstantin Sulamanidze. It has been more than 21 years since the first Aptos thread and method were introduced to the aesthetic world. Today, new and old generations of Aptos threads have created an all-inclusive product pipeline for junior, senior, and professional doctors. The central principle is simple — for the junior doctor, who doesn’t know thread lifting very well, can use a secure method and a universal product for face and body contouring, such as the Visage thread. However, many doctors prefer to have the ability to choose and use more complex products or methods, using individual techniques for each patient. This gives us a sense of fulfillment and the result belongs more to our professionalism, than to a product. For that purpose, we created a system of products specifically for professionals — Aptos threads. Aptos threads are sold worldwide. They have the CE Mark, ISO certificate, and are pending FDA approval. Clinical and safety studies have been performed in the USA and Europe, guaranteeing the highest-quality throughout the manufacturing process.

BEST DERMAL FILLERS
TEOSYAL RHA® 3D, TEOXANE

Our faces project our emotions to the world — by moving, flexing, and stretching. To retain a natural look, physicians need dermal filler gels that can stretch with a smile or laugh, and yet have the strength to gently volumize and restore youthful plumpness to the skin. TEOSYAL RHA® 3 has been carefully developed with the dynamic needs of the treatment areas in mind, such as severe wrinkles, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and lips. Thanks to the specific rheological properties, TEOSYAL RHA® 3 is durable and designed to follow the expressions of the face allowing aesthetic practitioners to create natural-looking results.
