ABSTRACT:
Background: Non-invasive facial treatments have the ability to rejuvenate the facial profile
when specific pharmacologic agents and modalities are prescribed and used in
combination taking into consideration each patient’s unique skin type and
condition. RATIONALE Epinova is a non-invasive skin treatment that combines the
correct concentrations and combinations of topicals and modalities to elicit
facial rejuvenation with no down-time or side effects. Purpose: This paper focuses on facial rejuvenation improvements combining the
RATIONALE Essential Six skincare system (RATIONALE, Victoria, Australia) to protect and repair the skin with the
RATIONALE Epinova facial treatment every 4-6 weeks—which uses non-invasive technologies and professional strength
active ingredients to deliver visible changes to skin tone and texture. Methods: Subjects underwent a RATIONALE consultation, including taking a skin
history and skin imaging, followed by a data analysis
and diagnosis of skin condition and prescription of a customized RATIONALE
treatement (Epinova), including appropriate pharmacologic agents and treatment
with personalized photo/sono therapeutic devices. Results: Subjects
reported increased skin hydration, tactile improvements, skin firmness and
visible radiance following the RATIONALE Epinova treatment. Further
investigations will be initiated to explore the potential for longer term
improvements, including connenctive tissue deposition, reduction of erythema
etc. Treatments should be performed every 4-6 weeks
for patients under 40 and every 3-4 weeks
for patients over 40, to support cell differentiation,
migration and desquamation to achieve non-invasive facial rejuvenation. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the synergy of pharmacologic, LED light
therapy and ultrasonic technologies when prescribed and administered by a trained skin therapist, can lead to
a visible improvement in the signs of facial ageing and photodamage,
restoring the appearance of healthy, radiant skin.
