Several interventions had been described to improve their appearance. We propose that the combination of some of those treatments can synergize their effects on the scar. We designed a prospective pilot study with ten patients using the patient as their own control to compare different interventions. In each patient, the scar was divided into four parts treated differently: 1. No treatment (control), 2. Fat grafting only, 3. Fat grafting and Hyaluronic Acid (HA), 4. Fat grafting, HA and with a non-fractional laser. Each part of the scar was evaluated by the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS). Treatment of the scar with the combination of the three modalities showed better results in the observer scale. In addition, a combination of fat injection, HA, and subsequent skin resurfacing with non-ablative laser showed better outcomes for all parameters on the Observer Scale except vascularity, while on the Patient Scale thickness, relief, pliability, surface area, and overall measurement were better. The combination of all three treatments tends to improve scarring results and appears to be safe and effective. However, further studies with larger samples are needed to explore the potential use of this combined treatment.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142009956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It affects people of all ages and sexes.Aim: To compare the efficacy of intralesional vitamin D3 injection versus that of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of patchy alopecia areata.Patients and methods: This clinical study was carried on 40 adult patients with patchy alopecia areata, the patients were categorized into two groups. Group I involved 20 patients who received 1 ml of intralesional injection of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol aqueous preparation 200 000 IU/2 ml) every 4 weeks for a maximum of three sessions. Group II involved 20 patients who received 1 ml of intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg/mL every 4 weeks for a maximum of three sessions. Clinical and trichoscopic evaluations were done at the baseline, each session and for 3 months after the last session.Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two studied groups regarding the degree of clinical improvement (p = .8). A statistically significant reduction in AA specific trichoscopic signs was detected at the end of the sessions and after 3 months of follow-up in both groups, without any statistically significant difference between them. Also a statistically significant difference was found between both groups regarding the reported adverse effects with a significant better patient satisfaction encountered toward the intralesional vitamin D3 injection.Conclusion: Intralesional vitamin D3 is a promising effective, simple, safe, and inexpensive, therapeutic modality for patchy AA.","PeriodicalId":54852,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141977283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The improvement in the R2 parameter was observed in 82.1%, while R7 in 76.9% of study participants. It observed that the number of participants who benefited from treatment with ferulic acid and ascorbic acid was statistically higher compared with the second group (p = .036).

GT was searched globally for the topic \"skin whitening\" and two terms \"hydroquinone cream\" and \"mercury cream\" throughout a 10-year period (01.09.2013-31.08.2023). The popularity of searches increased during the analyzed period. The topic \"skin whitening\" was most popular in Sudan, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. The searches were higher for \"hydroquinone cream\" than \"mercury cream\" in almost all countries, besides the Philippines and Indonesia. Our study confirms that skin whitening practices are popular, especially among populations with darker skin tone. Despite potentially toxic side effects, creams with hydroquinone and mercury are increasingly searched worldwide.
