Promising Results In Treating Facial Bruising From Injectables

Physicians nationwide report
promising results in treating facial bruising from injectable cosmetic
treatments by using Pinoxide(TM), an active ingredient best known for
treating under-eye circles.


Pinoxide is a proprietary blend of bicyclic monoterpene dials (BMTd)
created by AGI Dermatics and formulated in the company's Remergent
Microcirculation Therapy product. Pinoxide has been clinically proven to
speed blood flow, warm the skin, increase resistance to cold, and reduce
dark under- eye symptoms. Additional research suggests Pinoxide may also
contribute to promoting firmness and resiliency in the skin. Now,
physicians are studying the ingredient's ability to heal bruising.



Dr. Mark G. Rubin, a board-certified dermatologist currently practicing
at the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills, is conducting the clinical trials on
Pinoxide, applying the Microcirculation Therapy formula to the injection
site immediately after use of skin fillers such as collagen, Restylane and
Juvederm, or Botox.



"Anatomically speaking, dark circles are like bruises - so the science
behind using Pinoxide for bruising makes total sense," said Dr. Rubin. "The
skin discoloration during bruising is the result of blood leaking from
damaged blood vessels and surfacing to the skin. Similarly, blood vessels
under the eyes can burst, leading to the appearance of unattractive dark
circles."



Leading dermatologists share Dr. Rubin's opinion. Dr. Thomas Francel, a
board certified plastic surgeon, has found that application of
MicroCirculation Therapy on his patients reduces the appearance of skin
bruising, and decreases the amount of healing time for the bruise. Dr.
Francel is the Chief of Plastic Surgery at St. John's Mercy Medical Center
and an Associate Professor of Surgery at St. Louis University.



Injectable cosmetic treatments are among the five top most requested
aesthetic treatments nationwide last year. According to the American
Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 5 million women had
injectable cosmetic treatments last year. Bruising is a common temporary
side effect.
