THE WHAT? The appointment of a cannabis policy expert at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been welcomed by CBD stakeholders, according to Hemp Today.
THE DETAILS The FDA has hired Norman Birenbaum as Senior Public Health advisor in its Center for Regulatory Programs. Birenbaum was previously director of cannabis programs for New York. In this role he supervised regulation and policy development for the state.
The stakeholders are said to hope that the appointment signals that the agency may establish a regulatory program.
Jonathan Miller, General Counsel at the U.S. Hemp Roundtable (USHR), stated that the USHR would be “working closely with (Birenbaum) on the development of a regulatory framework for CBD products to ensure consumer safety and product quality across the country.”
THE WHY? Miller said: “After four years of inaction, we are hopeful that the appointment of Norman Birenbaum by the FDA signals a positive step forward for the regulation of hemp-derived cannabinoids such as CBD.”
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
