The results showed that, six months after treatment, effects of Restylane and Zyplast as wrinkle fillers were comparable.

As reported by patients within 14 days following first treatment, Restylane treated side had a lower incidence of severe redness (5.1% vs. 5.8) and an increased incidence of severe bruising (3.6% vs. 0.7%), severe swelling (3.6% vs. 1.4%), severe pain (3.6% vs. 1.4%), and severe tenderness (2.9% vs. 1.4%) compared with Zyplast treated side. These incidents were lower with follow up injections for both products.

There was limited data in study on safety of Restylane in non-caucasians. The firm, Q-Med AB of Sweden, has agreed to conduct a post approval study in people of color to determine product’s safety for this population. The firm will also provide training to physicians on correct use of device.

Adult Ear Infection Treatments

Whether bacterial or viral, adult ear infection may be treated and any buildup removed. With bacterial infections, antibiotics are necessary. Fortunately, bacterial infections can be very simple to treat.

Viral infections are more complicated to treat and may necessitate a myringotomy, which is a minor surgery in which a small plastic tube is inserted into eardrum. This acts as a vent to relieve pressure of buildup or infection. It also drains fluid remaining in ear. This little tube is not permanent; it falls out automatically after a short time.

If adenoids have caused build up and infections in ear, they may need to be removed. They are just like tonsils in that they aren’t necessary and can easily be removed without complications.

Adult Ear Infection Prevention

Prevention of adult ear infection is simple. Nasal spray flushes out bacteria and pollutants which could cause build up and infection. Even allergens can be washed out. The important element necessary in effective nasal spray is xylitol, which naturally repels bacteria before it has a chance to settle into nasal tissue.

Chewing gum containing xylitol may also loosen and relieve pressure in ear while at same time releasing xylitol into mouth and throat and preventing bacteria to move up to nasal passages and into ear. Studies have proven use of xylitol-rich gum reduces risk of ear infection.
