inovations anti-âge

The International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) is the international congress that brings together all the specialists in anti-ageing: dermatologists, surgeons, aesthetic doctors and equipment suppliers. It is an opportunity for these health professionals to exchange and update their practices and knowledge on innovative anti-ageing treatments. This year, the congress will be held on 26 January 2023 in Paris and will host nearly 345 high-level training courses and 819 speakers. And Jouvessence reports on 3 major trends in anti-ageing treatment innovation that are emerging at this event!

More effective alternatives for dermatology and plastic surgery:

Today, anti-ageing treatments include injection techniques such as SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction), a fat transplant procedure aimed at restoring volume and rejuvenating the face. However, like any surgical procedure, this technique carries the risk of complications and does not always guarantee satisfactory results. During this congress, two more effective and less risky alternatives were presented:

Alternative 1

Alternative 2

These alternatives were presented by specialists in aesthetic medicine and aroused great interest among the congress participants. It was emphasised that these alternatives have advantages in terms of safety and effectiveness compared to current fat injection techniques.

2 / Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection, which originates from regenerative medicine, involves the injection of platelet-rich plasma to aid wound healing. This method is already widespread in sports medicine and is now being extended into cosmetic procedures. It targets the early signs of ageing such as the appearance of wrinkles. Amino acid-based treatments, consisting of injecting a cocktail of amino acids (e.g. glycine, L-proline, L-lysine and L-leucine), allowing skin rejuvenation by maximising synergy with other cosmetic procedures.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in anti-ageing care to improve the effectiveness of treatments and patient monitoring. This technology can enable more efficient care management, particularly in clinical dermatology, in terms of time, cost and quality of care. One example of this use is the digital solution, which uses AI to coordinate care teams by providing recommendations based on diagnoses. 

AI to detect skin cancers:

3 / Anti-ageing treatments can pose significant risks to patients, from the impact on the skin microbiome to environmental factors and surgery. Focusing on the safety of care is therefore crucial to ensure patient safety. To improve this, Blossom Innovations has developed the S3Inject product, which has won the title of 'Innovation of the Year'. The product aims to improve the safety of surgical care by using a smart needle that can alert the surgeon when it enters a blood vessel, thereby reducing the risk of intra-arterial injections and potential complications such as necrosis or blindness. This product could become a must-have tool for invasive cosmetic medicine professionals.

Virtual Fitting:

The use of augmented reality in shopping has become increasingly common in recent times. This technology allows consumers to virtually test a product, such as hair colour, make-up or even a skin diagnosis, before making a purchase. Virtual fitting is a key tool for cosmetic products, and the current health crisis has accelerated the adoption of this technology to improve the shopping experience. According to research, 20% of retailers in the US now want to offer virtual fitting compared to 8% before the crisis.

In summary:

It is important to note that the advances mentioned in anti-ageing treatments include a variety of analytical methods and technologies, using AI or not. There are also other treatment options such as Botox injections, chemical peels, lasers, and other surgical treatment methods. Jouvessence anti-wrinkle and anti-puffiness under eye cream is an effective alternative for those seeking to combat these problems in a topical and non-invasive manner. It is important to discuss with a health care professional to determine the best treatment to meet individual needs.
