The neck has long been neglected when it comes to facial rejuvenation. More often than not the neck is left untreated, leaving the patient with a line of demarcation along the mandible separating a rejuvenated face from an aged neck. ⋯ Neck rejuvenation is usually performed in conjunction with facial rejuvenation, but can be an isolated procedure. Neck rejuvenation can be nonsurgical or surgical, with many options for combined approaches and modalities.

ReviewAdvances in the treatment of varicose veins: ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, endovascular laser, and radiofrequency closure.
Several recent advances in the treatment of varicose veins have improved the safety, efficacy, comfort, efficiency, and long-term success of therapy. The advances of ambulatory phlebectomy, foam sclerotherapy, endovascular laser, and radiofrequency ablation with closure have made a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction. Duration of treatment and recovery is shorter, discomfort is minimized, and results are generally excellent. Studies assessing long-term outcomes are ongoing, and treatment modalities are continuing to evolve.
