A Step-by-Step Guide to Reviewing Evidence in Aesthetics

Correcting the Mid-Cheek Groove

On today's episode of AP Class, we're reviewing an anatomy-based injectable technique for correcting the midcheek groove with hyaluronic acid filler. This study emphasizes structural understanding in anatomical precision. We'll explore how technique, depth, and product placement grounded in anatomy can enhance outcomes and why that foundation matters for both safety and results.

On today's episode of AP Class, we're reviewing a split-face comparison study examining whether platelet-rich plasma combined with microneedling offers meaningful advantages over microneedling alone in the treatment of post-acne scarring. We already know that microneedling alone is an effective intervention, but does adding PRP enhance outcomes or simply add complexity?

Can BBL Make Genes Younger?

On today's episode, we're diving into a pilot study out of Stanford University that asks A compelling question: can BBL or broadband light actually rejuvenate skin on a molecular level? We'll unpack how researchers used advanced sequencing techniques to evaluate changes in gene expression to understand what happens to healthy skin cells as they begin to resemble a more youthful state, and how this research may or may not impact clinical relevance.
