[BACKGROUND] The various techniques of upper blepharoplasty have been compared based on surgical time to perform the procedure, postoperative healing, scar cosmesis, and cost. Few studies have evaluated the histology of the excised tissue, …

Measuring outcomes from treatments to the skin is either reliant upon patient's subjective feedback or scale-based peer assessments. Three-Dimensional stereophotogrammetry intend to accurately quantify skin microtopography before and after …

[BACKGROUND] Palmar hyperhidrosis is a common disorder of excessive sweating due to over-stimulation of cholinergic receptors on eccrine glands. [OBJECTIVE] To compare the efficacy of laser-assisted drug delivery of onabotulinum toxin A (B…

 Transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) is the treatment of choice for Tis-T2 squamous cell glottic carcinomas due to its advantages compared with open surgery and radiotherapy. However, the CO laser beam causes changes and damage on the speci…

This case series demonstrates an exaggerated form of the clinical presentation of a known distressing late complication of retained hyaluronic acid filler – the “pale puffy pillow.” This presentation is often, unfortunatel…

[BACKGROUND] Spread of botulinum toxin outside the treated muscle is a concern, when energy-based device treatment is performed on the same day as toxin injection. [OBJECTIVE] We assessed the frequency of eyelid ptosis after the glabella/p…

[BACKGROUND] Recent reports have shown that intralesional botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A) works on scar cosmesis. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the clinical efficacy of combination treatment of laser and BTX-A injection and compare the effects of…

[OBJECTIVE] Flexible endoscopic laser surgery (FELS) is able to overcome some limitations of traditional transoral CO2 laser surgery. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of FELS in the treatment of T1-T2 glottic carcinoma…
