P8294 Evaluation of safflower oil on cellulitis and localized fat Samanta Nunes, MD, Samanta, S~ ao Paulo, Brazil Safflower oil is full of unsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-9 and omega-3, and plays an important role in lipid metabolism. It has been shown that it can decrease cholesterol levels. The objective of this study is to evaluate its potential effect on cellulitis and localized fat. Twenty-two women were evaluated on 0, 30, 60, and 90 days regarding Body Mass Index (BMI), tights circumferences, photographic images, and degree of cellulitis (NurnbergereMuller). Patients were instructed to maintain regular dietary habits and physical activity, and no medication or procedure were done during the treatment. They received 1.6 g of omega-9 (oleic acid) and 9 g of omega-3 (linoleic acid). Results showed a reduction of the BMI between 0.1-0.9 kg/m 2 , weight losses between 0.5-3.2 kg after 90 days, and also a reduction on tights circumferences of 0.3 to 8.8 cm after 90 days. Improvement of the degree of cellulitis was also observed. The conclusion is that this study may show a positive effect of the safflower oil on treating localized fat and cellulitis. More studies are still required to validate this beneficial activity. Safflower oil was provided by FQM.

Study Design: This international, retrospective chart review included patients aged ¼ 18 years at the time of their first onabotulinumtoxin A aesthetic treatment and a history of ¼ 5 years of continuous onabotulinumtoxinA treatments (yearly average ¼ 2 treatments, including 1 glabellar lines [GL] treatment/year for ¼ 5 years). Medical records were reviewed for facial areas treated with onabotulinumtoxin A, number of treatments, dosage per facial treatment area, concomitant facial aesthetic pro- cedures and treatments, and onabotulinumtoxin Aerelated adverse events (AEs), thus providing extensive data on the progression of patients’ aesthetic treatments and clinical trends during the period of widespread adoption of injectable aesthetic treatments. Results: Of 207 patients included, 194 met criteria for the per-protocol analysis. Patients were treated with onabotulinumtoxinA for a mean of 9.1 6 2.9 years (range, 5.0-16.8) and data were collected from 5112 treatments, of which 4402 were GL treatments. Mean age at first injection was 46.3 6 9.9 years. The longer patients were treated, the younger they perceived themselves to look. GL treatment temporally preceded crow’s feet lines (CFL), followed closely by forehead lines (FHL). Dosing in GL and CFL remained relatively stable over the period 1999 to 2012, although FHL dose decreased. A majority of patients (85%; 165/194) received treatment with fillers, of which 111 began, on average, 38 months after first onabotulinumtoxinA treatment. The remainder received fillers previously (n ¼ 25) or began in the same year (n ¼ 29). In addition to a cumulative increase in onabotulinumtoxin A treatments in GL, FHL, and CFL over time, there were increases in facial aesthetic treatments with injectable fillers, energy-based devices, and prescription topical creams. AEs were infrequent, mostly mild in severity, and declined markedly over the first year of treatment. Conclusions: This study shows that continuous onabotulinumtoxin A treatments over several years are safe and can be used in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments. Patients receiving continuous onabotulinumtoxin A treatment perceived themselves to look younger than their actual age. Co-authors: N. Sadick, F. Brandt, A.R. Trindade de Almeida, S. Fagien, G.

P7803 Extract from Cryptomphalus aspersa eggs significantly promotes skin homeostasis and migration and survival of skin cells in vitro Salvador Gonzalez, Dermatology Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, United States; Angeles Juarranz, Biology Department, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain; Eduardo Reyes, Universidad de Alcal a, Alcal a de Henares, Madrid, Spain; Maria Matabuena, InnCells, Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain; S. Lucena, Biology Department, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain Background: Regenerative properties of skin decrease with age and the search for substances that minimize cutaneous aging has been steadily increasing. A patented natural extract from Cryptomphalus aspersa eggs has been developed which carries out regenerative activities when applied topically. Objectives: To study the in vitro effects of the C aspersa egg extract on skin homeostasis and cell migration, as well as on cell-cell (E-cadherin, -catenin) and cell- substrate (vinculin, 1-integrin) adhesion protein expression. Moreover, its effects on cell survival and matrix metalloproteinases regulation were also explored. Methods: Human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells) and primary dermal fibroblasts (HF) were used. To test cell proliferation, colorimetric MTT assay was performed. Cell migration was studued using wound-healing assays complemented with MTT assays to avoid subjectivity in result quantification, whereas Western blot and immunofluorescence microscopy were carried out to test the expression of different cell adhesion proteins. ELISA and immunofluorescence were performed to determine fibronectin, MMPs and collagen 1. Results: C aspersa egg extract clearly promotes proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells in a time and dose-dependent manner facilitating tissue homeostasis. Moreover, treatment with C aspersa egg extract increases the migratory behavior and the expression of adhesion molecules in both HaCaTand HF. Finally, C aspersa egg extract also improves cell survival and promotes phosphorylation of FAK and nuclear localization of beta-catenin. Conclusion: C aspersa egg extract promotes regeneration of epithelial tissue, being more effective on fibroblasts than keratinocytes. The dermal effect seems supported by significantly increasing collagen synthesis and fibronectin production. Moreover, MMPs release is downregulated in both types of cutaneous cells. All these effects suggest a potential clinical impact in skin rejuvenation and regeneration of wounded tissues. Supported by Industrial farmaceutica Cantabria SA (IFC SA). P8367 Fractional erbium 2940-nm laser and acoustic pressure wave ultrasound module for transepidermal delivery of cosmetic antiaging ingredients for wrinkles and pigment changes: A randomized, split face side by side study Stefanie Luebberding, MS, Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center, New York, NY, United States; Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, MD, PhD, Dermatology and Laser Surgery Center, New York, NY, United States Skin aging is a complex multifactorial process that comes along with the aging process of the human body resulting in the development of facial wrinkles and pigment changes on the skin surface. Numerous treatments, such as ablative or factional laser therapy, or the use of cosmeceuticals have been used to treat these skin aging signs. Recently, a device which combines two technologies has been invented using a fractional ablative Er:YAG 2940-nm laser, creating micro channels for transepidermal delivery (TED) of cosmeceuticals, in combination with an acoustic pressure wave ultrasound (Impact) module for enhancing the penetration of the cosmetic formulation beyond the dermoepidermal junction into the deep skin tissue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fractional ablative Er:YAG 2940-nm laser combined with cosmeceuticals and impact technol- ogy in the treatment of wrinkle, and pigmented skin. Fourteen subjects were included in this single site, open label study. The subjects were assigned to 2 split face side by side treatments (21 6 2 days) and additional 1- and 3-month follow-up visits. According to randomization, one side of the face was treated with the fractional Er:YAG laser plus cosmetic formulations, while the other side was treated with the fractional Er:YAG laser plus cosmetic formulations plus the Impact module. Photographs were taken and reflectance spectroscopy was performed at baseline, prior to each treatment and during each follow-up visit. Before the initiation of the first treatment each subject underwent clinical evaluation. All subjects completed the trial. The majority reported no or mild discomfort during treatment. Besides mild to moderate erythema and edema right after the treatment, no severe adverse events were observed during the study. Efficacy was assessed by Glogau Photodamage Scale and GAIS evaluation. The evaluation demonstrated a reduction in wrinkle severity from 3.25 to 2.6 and an improvement of the overall assessment. The TED concept of 2 technologies in combination—the fractional ablative Er:YAG 2940-nm laser for perforation of the skin creating a passage for cosmecuticals delivery and impact ultrasound module for cosmeceuticals enhancement—constitute a solution for overcoming both barriers of stratum corneum and intercellular fluid in cosmeceut- icals delivery into the deep skin tissues for multiple aging skin imperfections. The treatment seems to be tolerable, safe, and effective. Supported by Alma Lasers. MAY 2014 JAM ACAD DERMATOL AB17
