International Conference on Entrepreneurship and Sustainability in the Digital Era ICESDE 2018 Assumption University of Thailand May 25, 2018 Entrepreneurship & Sustainability: A Critique and Retrospective Position Paper John Barnes Bangkok, Thailand - 10260 Email: [email protected] Abstract Entrepreneurship and Sustainability are but two vital ingredients to human progress. Diverse examples are discussed, and it is concluded that the unchecked increasing number of human population along with willful disregard of value (and cost) to the environment, are lacking from contemporary economics and governments local national and internationally. These two factors are largely ignored by the population at large and social leaders must face up to them both, as a matter of urgency, if our species is to survive. This paper draws on secondary data and academic sources to shape discussion, rather than primary data collected through fieldwork.

Moreover, Sebum production was evaluated by Sebumeter® SM815. Finally, volunteers’ satisfaction was evaluated by questionnaire after the last follow-up. Adverse reactions were also recorded. Results: 19 participants were enrolled. 1 patient was drop out at the second treatment (4th week), and 18 participants were evaluated. Acne grading between baseline and follow-up both times time were statistically different with p<0.001. Moreover, there were significant difference of improvement score at week 4th and 8th follow-ups (p=0.002). There was statistical significance (p=0.005) had increase elasticity at 8th week follow-ups. For sebum production, there were statistical significance (p=0.024) had decrease sebum production at 8th week follow-ups. At the last time follow-up, participants had most scores for improvement of acne scar as “satisfied” (38.89%). Conclusion: Combination of FRM and PRP treatment can be effective treatments for atrophic acne scars. Cutometer found more elasticity at 2-month follow-up. Sebumeter found less sebum production at 2-month follow-up. Longer follow-ups for next studies should be done for acne scar treatment. 69

There are multiple current treatment options that aim at restoring elasticity and tightening the skin such as intradermal injection of botulinum toxin and intradermal injection of hyaluronic acid but there is no comparative study. Objective: This study is about to compare the efficacy between intradermal botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injection in facial skin tightening and skin elasticity. Methods and Materials: In this study, each of 11 patients underwent single treatment session with randomly injection of intradermal botulinum toxin on one side of face and hyaluronic acid on another side. Clinical evaluation was assessed by three blind dermatologists to determine the efficacy of facial tightening compared intradermal botulinum toxin injection with intradermal hyaluronic injection and also compared to baseline(control). Biophysical evaluation parameters, elasticity, melanin index and skin hydration were measured before treatment session, immediate after treatment session and at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after the treatment session. Patient satisfaction was assessed, and photographs were taken at each visit. Results: During the course of study, facial skin tightening and skin elasticity was improved on both sides but much better on the side treated with intradermal hyaluronic acid injection. Patient feedback was also extremely positive on the side treated with intradermal hyaluronic acid injection. Conclusion: Both methods can improve skin elasticity but clinical facial tightening on the side treated with intradermal hyaluronic acid injection is much better comparing to intradermal botulinum toxin injection.

Safety and Efficacy of Continuous Macro Focused Ultrasound For Abdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Reduction Chalida Phoobangkerdphol and Atchima Suwanchinda Bangkok, 10900, Thailand School of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mae Fah Luang University 38/11-13 Asoke Place, Sukhumvit 21, Asoke Rd., Wattana, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: HIFU treatment is a non-surgical fat reduction procedure that permanently destroys unwanted subcutaneous abdominal fat. Most of current HIFU products in market use micro focused ultrasound technology. The new macro focused scanning ultrasound “SCIZERTM” can create deeper focal energy zone and bigger spot size. Objective: This study was an experimental study. Researcher attempted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of macro focused scanning ultrasound technology for abdominal SAT reduction. Methods and Materials: 25 participants were received two sequential treatments every 1 month in the abdominal region using 2.0 MHz; 9mm and 2.0 MHz; 13 mm cartridges with 46 x 46mm treatment site zone. Total energy of each site zone was 180 Joule/cm2. Waist circumference and skinfold thickness were recorded after each procedure. Two patients randomly underwent MRI study. Adverse side effect was recorded. Results: Waist circumference was decreased after treatment at all treated sites (P< 0.001). Mean skinfold thickness reduction was also statistically different with P<0.001. Mean participants scored satisfaction subjectively as 4.84 out of 5. Mean pain score during treatment was 6.32 out of 10. 48% of participant had transient mild erythema and 8% had mild skin edema immediately after HIFU procedure. No severe adverse side effect was noted during and after treatment. Conclusion: Macro focused scanning ultrasound is an effective procedure for removing unwanted subcutaneous abdominal fat with mild degree transient side effects. Keywords: Macro focused scanning ultrasound, subcutaneous abdominal fat. 71
International Conference on Entrepreneurship and Sustainability in the Digital Era ICESDE 2018 Assumption University of Thailand May 25, 2018 The Comparison of Efficacy of Intradermal Abobotulinum Toxin A Injection by Different Dilution for Midface Lifting Kittiphat Rassameejarukit and Rassapoom Sumaetheiwit Bangkok, 10900, Thailand School of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mae Fah Luang University 38/11-13 Asoke Place, Sukhumvit 21, Asoke Rd., Wattana, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Introduction: Intradermal botulinum toxin injection is known as one of non-invasive, effective, and safe procedure for midface lifting. However, there is only instruction for preparing the concentration of Abobotulinum toxin from the manufacturer. Later, several studies found that the low concentration/ higher volume increased the effect on the distribution of toxin. According to the effect of dilution, the researcher decided to change in the concentration and volume used to achieve better results. Objective: To compare the efficacy of intradermal abobotulinum toxin injection by different dilution for midface lifting. Methods and Materials: Twenty-two participants with mild facial skin laxity were randomly received intradermal abobotulinum toxin injection in high concentration/ lower volume (50 units in 0.7 ml of NSS) on one-sided face and low concentration/ higher volume (50 unit in 1.4 ml of NSS) on another side. All participants had been taken a photograph by VISIA® and measured skin elasticity by Cutometer®. Result were evaluated by three blinded dermatologists, using Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Adverse effect was noted during and after treatment. Clinical visits were scheduled at immediate after treatment, day 14, 30 and 60 after treatment. Results: Low concentration/ higher volume injection showed significantly greater mean GAIS of midface lifting at day 14 after treatment (p=0.0428). Skin elasticity showed significantly improvement at day 14 after treatment (p<0.001) but did not show the differences between two dilutions at any time points. Most of the 72
International Conference on Entrepreneurship and Sustainability in the Digital Era ICESDE 2018 Assumption University of Thailand May 25, 2018 participants had moderate level of satisfaction. Asymmetrical smiling was taken place in one case. Conclusion: Intradermal abobotulinum toxin injection of low concentration/ higher volume had the appreciable efficacy and safety profile after single treatment for midface lifting. Therefore, it can be an alternative option for physicians compared to conventional clinical dilution or other procedures.
