Fractional radiofrequency (FRF) is the newest in the nonabrasive approach. FRF uses an array of microneedles arranged in pairs between which bipolar RF energy is delivered. The fractionally delivered energy creates zones of thermally damaged skin adjacent to unaffected areas. The damaged skin stimulates wound healing and deposits new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid formation. The unaffected areas serve as a reservoir of stem cells that accelerate wound healing. FRF improves acne scars, large facial pores, and skin quality. FRF devices are safe, tolerable, and effective modalities for wrinkles and facial laxity reduction. I may use a topical anesthetic cream before the treatment to minimize pain. Fractional radiofrequency is combined with PRP with significant amounts of growth factor and heal promoting factors to fasten healing. Recently, Nanofat has been combined with fractional radiofrequency to enhance skin quality and stimulate hair follicles. Fractional radiofrequency gives a wake-up call to your skin to remove injured collagen and elastic fibers, encouraging your fibroblast to synthesize new collagen and stimulate hair follicles to stem cells.

Skin rejuvenation laser peel involves the removal of the outer layer of damaged skin. Many ablative skin resurfacing techniques are available at MSI, broadly grouped as mechanical, chemical, and laser abrasion. All ablative techniques result in upper to the mid-dermal wound. Dermabrasion relies on mechanical 'cold steel' injury, acid peels result in a 'caustic' injury, and lasers result in a thermal injury. All ablative resurfacing treatments work the same way. First, the outer layers of damaged skin are stripped away. Then, as new cells form during the healing process, a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface appears. Superficial or medium resurfacing is limited to the epidermis and papillary dermis. For deeper resurfacing, I can also remove the upper levels of the reticular dermis. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing (LSR) with the CO2 laser generates heat, which results in immediate tightening because of the shrinkage of collagen, which forcefully shortens the collagen fibers by 30%. This translates clinically into the smoothing out of superficial irregularities, including wrinkles, acne scars, nevi, epidermal growths, and even tumors, and a tightening effect that improves the skin's overall appearance. The laser stimulates the growth of healthy new collagen and elastic fibers in the skin continuously for six months after resurfacing. Therefore, any wrinkles or scars will continue to improve for up to one year. Nonablative or minimal ablative fractional CO2 holds great promise in both treatments of skin textural abnormalities (acne scarring, wrinkles, and skin mottling associated with photoaging) and pigmentary variation (melasma, hyperpigmented scars, lentigines, and dyschromia

Acne inversa or hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a disease that usually begins as pimple-like bumps on the skin. The pimple-like bumps tend to develop in places where everyday pimples do not appear. HS is most common on the underarms and groin. Getting treatment for HS is important. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent HS from worsening. If HS worsens, the pimple-like bumps can grow deep into the skin and become painful. They can rupture, leaking bloodstained pus onto clothing. This fluid often has a foul odor. As the deep bumps heal, scars can form. Some people develop tunnel-like tracts under their skin. As the skin continues to improve and scar, the scars thicken. When thick scars form in the underarm, moving the arm can be difficult. Thick scars in the groin area can make walking difficult. Because HS can look a lot like acne, folliculitis, or boils, it is best to see a dermatologist for a diagnosis.

A dermatologic surgeon usually does plantar warts removal. Plantar warts are small growths that usually appear on your feet' heels or other weight-bearing areas. This pressure may also cause plantar warts to grow inward beneath a hard, thick layer of skin (callus). Plantar warts are caused by HPV. The virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks, or other weak spots on the bottom of your feet. Dermatologists have many treatments for warts. The procedure used depends on the patient's age and health. I prefer to cut the callus by scalpel. Then I use a curette to remove the viral material. Then I use a vascular laser to burn or cauterize tiny blood vessels that feed the virus. Then it cauterizes the base using an ablative laser or chemical TCA. A topical antibiotic is applied, and a special dressing is applied. The patient can walk without any pain immediately

There has been a 70% increase in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and a 50% increase in dermabrasions over the past decade. Dermabrasion has many applications as a skin resurfacing technique and is used to treat fine perioral rhytids and many scars, including acne scars. It is done under local anesthesia with the option of sedation. The area to be dermabraded is marked. The appropriate diamond fraise tip is chosen, the skin is held taut, and the dermabrader is moved across the surface with constant, gentle pressure. A back-and-forth motion is used for the diamond fraise tip. The borders of the treated area are feathered to prevent any noticeable transitions. The depth of skin that is dermabraded is one of the most critical factors that will determine the outcome. Punctate bleeding is visualized when entering the papillary dermis. The papillary reticular junction is the ideal endpoint of Dermabrasion and is identified by increased, confluent bleeding. Immediately following the procedure, saline-soaked gauze moistened with dilute epinephrine may be temporarily placed on the open wounds to achieve hemostasis. A moist environment is necessary to promote wound healing. Dermabrasion is a useful skin-resurfacing tool; when performed correctly, it can achieve dramatic results and can be more effective than chemical peels or lasers, with a low risk of complications in patients with darker complexions

Upper eyelid lift surgery or blepharoplasty is required when the eyelids require recontouring. Specifically, blepharoplasty is most useful when excess skin needs to be removed, the orbicularis oculi muscle is hypertrophic or requires tightening, or orbital fat should be removed or redistributed. Upper eyelid lift surgery typically involves an incision made in the natural crease above the eye. Your cosmetic surgeon will remove a precise amount of excess skin and fat and adjust the surrounding muscles to make the desired improvements.

Lower eyelid lift surgery or blepharoplasty involves several surgical approaches. Cosmetic surgeons can use various surgical techniques to improve the lower eyelids; incisions are located on the outer edge of the lower eyelid, just beneath the eyelashes, or inside the eyelid. Your cosmetic surgeon will explain the approach they determine is best for you. Your cosmetic surgeon will remove or reposition fat through the incisions to create a smooth, natural contour beneath the eyelid. Depending on the case, I may remove excess, sagging skin or tighten the lower eyelid muscle to supply the most natural, effective results. Lower eyelid transconjunctival blepharoplasty is readily carried out using the CO2 laser or standard incisional devices (radiofrequency)

No needles mesotherapy or electroporation device seeks to do the same as injection mesotherapy such as skin rejuvenation, whitening, acne, hair re-growth, localized fat reduction, and cellulite treatment. It uses a pulsed low-frequency current, whose intensity is adjusted by the operator. It delivers a particular waveform that ionizes the molecules in the active ingredients used in the treatment and creates tiny channels in the skin for the elements to travel down. Ingredients in water-soluble molecules permeate the skin's natural lipid barrier and then cascade through the tissue beneath via minute channels to penetrate the surface up to 9 -10cms and introduce 90% of the active ingredients being administered. This pain-free option is said to offer a practical mesotherapy alternative for needle-phobic.

Buttocks high definition (HD) liposuction is a demanded procedure in Egypt. The buttock area has received much media attention in recent years, which has produced increased patient demand for buttock reshaping. Four different anatomic variables:1. The underlying bony framework, 2. Gluteus maximus muscle,3. Subcutaneous fat topography, and 4. Skin influences the overall shape of the buttocks. The subcutaneous fat has the most significant impact in establishing the overall shape of the buttocks. Liposuction, the number one cosmetic surgery performed globally, is a procedure removing unwanted lumps, bulges, and areas of resistant fat deposits from specific areas of the body. Buttocks Liposuction is performed using a hand-held instrument (cannula) attached to a vacuüm-like machine or a syringe. By pushing and pulling the cannula, fat cells are broken up and then sucked out with a vacuüm which is called traditional Buttocks Liposuction. Today, I can use several liposuction techniques to improve the ease of the procedure and enhance the outcome. Based on the experience of Prof Moawad for the last 20 years, he prefers the tumescent technique assisted with a suction cannula for considerable buttocks reduction. If precise contouring is the goal, he prefers syringe liposculpture. Syringe liposuction is a must when fat transfer is needed. Thorough anatomic analysis, surgical technique, and constant communication with patients to determine their aesthetic preferences are encouraged.

Thigh-high definition (HD) liposuction is indicated for patients present for thigh contouring to take care of obesity, fat collection, skin laxity, or both. The ideal patient for liposuction is the one who has localized areas of fat in the thigh but is otherwise fit and does not have skin laxity. Patients may also present with deformities after a prior attempt at thigh lift or thigh liposuction elsewhere will benefit from thigh fat injection. Lower extremity liposuction treats lymphedema that does not entirely resolve with nonsurgical measures. There is a risk of contour deformity and skin laxity. Liposuction in the knee and thigh, therefore, must be conservative. Based on the experience of Prof Moawad for the last 20 years, he prefers syringe liposculpture for small thighs and the external ultrasound power-assisted liposuction for large ones.
