Background
• Obesity and Cellulite– Biggest challenge in Medicine
– 22% adult obese rate in USA in 2002 (US Department of Health and Human Services, Centre for disease control and prevention
– The Surgeon General stated in 2000, the obesity cost in USA had reach USD 117 billion a year
• Many treatments– Medical (xenical, reductil,duromine etc)
– Surgical (liposuction, gastric banding)
– Non Surgical (radiofrequency, ultrasound, electrical, pressure, mesotherapy)
– Holistic / Alternative (meditation, acupuncture etc)
Extracellular Matrix
• Current research shows that ECM plays a vital role
• Role of ECM has been neglected previously
• Lately more and more research into role and function of ECM in all aspects of medicine– Drugs interaction
– Immune system
– Cancer research
– Growth factors and various growth factors
• In Cosmetic medicine, doctors have not focus on ECM
• Beautician and Aestheticians has been treating the lymphatics for a long time– Lymphatic drainage
Science of Extracellular Matrix
Prof Sandra G. Velleman
The Ohio State University Department of Animal Sciences
• The extracellular matrix contains a network of macromolecules secreted by the cell.
• The extracellular matrix has been classically described as a structural scaffold containing
– a proteinaceous fiber component (collagen) and
– an "amorphous ground substance" (proteoglycan).
• It is now known that the extracellular matrix is
– a dynamic structure
– which regulates cell behavior through
• the interaction of extracellular matrix molecules with each other,
• interaction with growth factors, and
• through cell-extracellular matrix signal transduction pathways
• The extracellular matrix regulates adhesion, communication, gene expression and other interactions between the cell and its environment
Elements of ECM in animals can be subdivided
into 3 parts
(1) Extracellular matrix proper
– constituted by a complicated scaffold of long linear proteins and polysaccharides.
• Eg of proteins: collagen, fibronectin, laminin, tenascin, perlecan, aggrecan.
– Polysaccharides (known as glycosaminoglycans) are typically long multiples of disaccharide units.
• The most prominent is the huge molecule (millions of daltons) of hyaluronic acid.
– Other polysaccharides (e.g. chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate) occur as parts of glycoproteins.
– The meshwork contains also hundreds of enzymes engaged in its modifications: proteinases, glycosylases, sulphatases, etc.
Extracellular Matrix
Elements of ECM in animals can be
subdivided into 3 parts
(2) Glycoproteins anchored in the cell membrane form interconnections
between cells and the matrix, and mediate information (signalling)
between the matrix and cell interior, and vice versa.
– Transmembrane receptors
– Such as Syndecans, glypicans, integrins.
(3) Cell-to-cell contacts
– Cell adhesion molecules(proteins) such as connexins, adhesins,
cadherins, lectins etc
Glycoproteins-connecting cells interior to Extracellular matrix
Syndecans-Cell membrane glycoproteins
Intergrins-Cell membrane glycoproteins
Extracellular Matrix
• The substance of the Matrix is a network of highly polymer sugar complexes.
• Sugar bonded to proteins called PROTEOGLYCANS
• As well as free sugars called GLYCOSAMINOGYCANS.
• Embedded in this network of sugars are GLYCOPROTEINS called
– Collagen (19 subtypes) and
– Elastin
– Crosslinked GLYCOPROTEINS called Fibrinectin and Lamunin
• Plus an entire network of connective tissue cells
– Fibroblast Fibrocytes Monocytes Macrophages Lymphocytes Granulocytes
• And in fact all the Autonomic nerves end here as well and there is a Direct Connection between
– the Brain the Nerves and the Hormone glands in the matrix
Extracellular Matrix
• The EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX
– is in effect a FILTER SYSTEM which sits between Blood
Vessels, Nerves and cells
– it is the fluid surrounding them and the FILTER of all products
going in or out of the cells
• With congestion
– the “eco-system” of ECM is contaminated with TOXINS which
are blocking the filter system of the MATRIX
– leads to congestion and stagnation.
• The MATRIX therefore is where CELLULITE develops from the build
up of congestion around the cells
• Which is believe to leads to the first stage of Cellulite. When toxins
are trapped in the stagnant matrix.
Extracellular Matrix
• Imbalances in lymphatic function or ECM can result in fluid accumulation, edema and/or fibrosis (MA Swartz / Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 50(2001)3-20)
• A study by Guler et al, published at Jpn J Surg (1999) 29:735-740showed that lymphatic blockage resulted in accumulation of endotoxin in portal circulations
• This lead to extensive hepatocellular necrosis
• This study showed that accummulation of toxins have a negative effects on the surrounding tissues
• Rui-Cheng MD Lymphatic Research and Biology Vol 4. Num 2. 2006showed that the lymphatic system is essential for maintenance of normal fluid balance and draining extracellular fluid from tissue to blood circulation
– To provide an environment for immune cells to response to foreign antigens
ECM as an “Eco-system”
• When there is stagnation and blockage of the flow of lymphatics systems, the ECM becomes “clogged”
• “Eco-system” of ECM becomes unhealthy
• Healthy eco-system of ECM plays a vital role in cells hemostasis and growth
• Need to unblocked the ECM to ensure normal environment or “eco-system” for ECM
• Stagnation in the ECM and blockage of lymphatics causes edema and accumulation of toxins.
– This is believed to lead to cellulite formation
• Lysed adipocytes from treatments such as lipolysis or liposuction may not be remove adequately by the body if there is lymphatic blockage and stagnation of ECM eco-system
Eco-system
Diamond Liposculp
In the treatment of ECM
Diamond Liposculpture
• Latest machine from Diamond International
• Focus on the ECM and adipocytes
• Utilizing pressure (pulsing) and suction
– Promote lymphatic drainage
– Relieve lymphatic blockage
– Relieve stagnation of extracellular matrix
– Pressure effects causing mechanical lipolysis
– Promotion of blood flow
– Generate mild heat
• Possibility of collagen stimulation
• Optional attachment of waveform therapy
Diamond Liposculp
• Through its “suction and pushing” effect, it is able to unblocked the “clogged” eco-system of the ECM, via
– Relieving congestion and stagnation of the ECM
– Promoting the flow of lymphatics
• The Diamond Contours suction and pushing effect causes the movement of the MATRIX fluid which helps to relieve the stagnation and congestion.
• It is used with a deeply active CHOCOLATE SLIMMING CREAM
– (a homeopathic formulation of Chocolate, Ivy, Juniper and Dandelion)
– Gives a warm and sensual effect which is beneficial to the MATRIX and
– Has anti-inflammatory effects thus cleansing the toxins,
– Also cause toning of the tissue
• Rawlings stated in the Int J of Cosmetic Science 2006.28.175-190that Herbal extracts such as Ivy is shown to decrease subcutaneous fat thickness
Diamond Liposculp
• Its optional waveform therapy attachment allows further electrical
stimulation of the ECM
• There is a voltage of 240 microvolt in the ECM.
• GAGs are highly negative charge densities. This negative charges
repel each other which in turns establishes interstitial volume and
resist compressive forces ( Swantz / Advanced Drug Delivery
Review 50 (2001)3-50)
• Optional use of electrical waveform therapy can further enhance the
effect of restoring the eco-system
Mechanism
• Over time, cellular debris
accumulate in ground
substance (ECM)
• Cause changes in
osmolarity-edema occurs
• Toxins accumulate and
alters cellular functions
• Suction and Pulsing
effects of Diamond
LIposculpt helps to
cleanse the ECM
Diamond Liposculp
• By focusing our treatment on ECM
– Promote lymphatic drainage
– Relieve congestions of ECM
– Using of patented chocolate cream to “treat” the ECM
– Additional effect of mechanical lipolysis
• Resulting in
– Reduction of edema
– Removal of toxins
– Removal of lysed adipocytes from liposuction or mesotherapy
– Removal of lysed adipocytes from its own mechanical lipolysis
effect

Cellulite
• Is a complex problem involving the microcirculatory system, lymphatics, extracellular matrix and the presence of excess subcutaneous fat that bulges into the dermis (Rawlings. Int J of Cosmetic Science 2006, 28,175-190)
• Approx 85% of women over age of 20 have some degree of cellulite (Harvard Women’s Health Watch:Cellulite meltdown. Harv Health Pub Group5,7(1998)
• Vigorous massage is used to encourage removal of interstitial fluid and improve lymphatic drainage, thus improving cellulite appearance (Rawlings. Int J of Cosmetic Science 2006, 28,175-190)

Chin and Jowls
• Current treatments include liposuction, mesotherapy and thread lifting
• Could jowls and fat in the neck be caused by stagnation of ECM and blockage of lymphatics
• Can these be relieved by the pulsing and suction effects of Diamond Liposculpt?
• Can the fat be broken by the pulsing and suction effect of Diamond Liposculpt?

Note
• For this patient, her Left side has lesser improvements compared to Right side
• She has had previous injury to her left of her shoulder from a fall.
• Does this means that her lymphatics systems suffered irreversible damage of her left side?
• This then proved the effects of Diamond Liposculp in “unblocking” the lymphatics
Diamond Liposculp
• Truly focus on the extracellular matrix
• Shown to be effective in reduction of
cellulite and fat
• Ideal for small areas such as chin and
jowls
• Ideal for patients who are contraindicated
to medications (mesotherapy) or surgery
(liposuction)
Other Indications
Early days.
Requires more studies
Mesotherapy Combo
• Ideal to use Diamond Liposculp post mesotherapy to
help spread the injected products
– Inject PPC cocktail follow by Diamond Liposculp
• Ideal to use in conjunction with Osmotic lipolysis
– Inject hypotonic saline cocktail followed by Diamond
Liposculp
• Ideal to use Diamond Liposculp post liposuction to
reduce edema, break hematoma and seroma
• Have medical usage in promotion of post surgical
lymphatic drainage
Breast
• Can body contour be use for breast firming, shaping and lifting?
• The resting non-lactating breast consist mainly of fibrous tissue (Last’s Anatomy: McMinn)
• Breast is supported by fibrous tissue strands-Ligaments of Cooper which connect the deep fascia to the dermis
• When Ligaments of Cooper is atrophic, they allow the organs to droop (Last’s Anatomy:McMinn)
• Can Diamond Body Contour machines stimulate the fibrous tissue of the breast to grow? Preventing atrophy of Ligaments of Cooper?
• Massaging effect has been shown in some animal studies to increase collagen synthesis (Rawlings. Int J of Cosmetic Science 2006, 28,175-190)
• In our practice, we offer this modality to patients that are contraindicated to surgery or unable to afford surgery
• Cannot replace the effectiveness of breast surgery

Wrinkles
• Conventional non surgical treatment of static wrinkle has been with dermal fillers.
• The principal of dermal fillers was to replace the dermal layers with collagen, hyaluronic acids etc
• Could wrinkle appear due to edema?
• Could the edema be caused by factors in the extracellular matrix?
• Can we treat wrinkles by treating the extracellular matrix?
• The composition and organization of the ECM determine the mechanical properties of tissue such as its elasticity, strength and hydration ( Swartz / Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 50(2001)3-20)

Edema
• MA Swantz / Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 50 (2001)3-20 states that – edema occurs due to blockage of lymph flow, buildup of osmotic
pressures within ECM and changes in the mechanical properties of ECM
– Can be cause by infection, trauma, surgery and many other factors
– Eventually ECM is remodeled with new level of hydration, fibrosis and lipidosis.
– Treatment include drugs and surgical techniques have mostly failed
• Can Diamond Liposculpt with its suction and pulsing effects help to treat this edema and restore the function of ECM?

Conclusion
• More studies are required into the function
of ECM and Lymphatic drainage
• Role of ECM and Lymphatric Drainage
should be considered in treatment of
cellulite, obesity, edema, post surgical
lymphaedema, lines and wrinkles
• Many questions remained unanswered
