Particularly in the case of diabetic foot ulcers, conventional therapies are not always effective, so new treatment strategies are needed. This review aims to present alternative therapies with current efficacy data for diabetic foot ulcers that may be suitable for treatment-refractory ulcers. Platelet-rich plasma and stem cells have regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects and show good results in the treatment of diabetic ulcers, while ozone therapy improves local circulation and antioxidant levels. Wearable devices could become crucial for the long-term monitoring of patients with diabetic foot as they allow early identification of ulcers or infections. There are also literature reports of alternative treatments (e.g., maggot debridement, honey dressings, acupuncture) that have been used successfully for treatment-refractory ulcers, demonstrating how diverse the management of the diabetic foot can be.</p>","PeriodicalId":72786,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"3-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11711874/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key aspects of the impact of diabetes on aesthetic medicine are summarized. Individuals with diabetes often experience dry skin, a condition known as xerosis, which may affect the overall texture and appearance of the skin. Diabetes can compromise the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to skin infections. Aesthetic procedures involve the introduction of foreign substances, and compromised skin integrity may heighten the risk of infection. This underscores the importance of strict hygiene and postprocedure care to minimize the risk of complications. Delayed wound healing can be a significant concern in aesthetic procedures where incisions, injections, or other manipulations are made, as impaired healing may affect the final outcome and increase the risk of complications. Collagen metabolism, affecting the elasticity and structural integrity of the skin, may influence the long-term results of procedures such as dermal fillers, where collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining skin volume and firmness. Diabetes is linked to vascular complications, including poor blood circulation, which may have implications for procedures like laser treatments or other interventions that rely on adequate blood supply for optimal results.</p>","PeriodicalId":72786,"journal":{"name":"Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany)","volume":" ","pages":"15-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142787970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
