[BACKGROUND] Post-procedural ecchymosis can last up to two weeks and diminish patient satisfaction. Laser-assisted clearance is documented with pulsed-dye devices, but data on 1064-nm picosecond/nanosecond platforms remain sparse. [OBJECTI…

A well-healed scar extends beyond a mere superficial concern, reflecting the precision and care underlying the surgery. This study addresses the lack of recent literature on the complete closure technique for external rhinoplasty scars, emp…

Various types of lasers and energy-based devices have been used to prevent scar formation following primary surgical wound closure. While picosecond lasers have demonstrated potential in treating hypertrophic scars, limited data exists rega…

[OBJECTIVE] The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the scars of two groups of patients who underwent different periorbital surgical procedures, blepharoplasty and external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), using established scar scale…

[BACKGROUND] Collagen dermal fillers have shown efficacy in addressing age-related changes in facial appearance. However, their potential in rejuvenating the periorbital region remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the e…

[BACKGROUND] Keloids represent a troublesome condition that lacks a proper standard management protocol. Insulin and botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) both have evidence-based anti-scarring effects. Hence, their role in treating keloids needs to be…

[BACKGROUND] Timely intervention can improve the aesthetic outcome of surgical scars, and botulinum toxin type A (BTXA) has demonstrated its potential as an effective treatment. However, conclusive scientific evidence is needed to definitiv…

The epicanthus is a common feature of Asian eyes. A prominent medial epicanthal fold gives the impression of blunted affect. Medial epicanthoplasty for its removal is commonly requested by Asian patients. This may be performed as an isolate…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) is a widely utilized protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, known for its effectiveness in treating various medical conditions involving muscle spasticity, involuntary muscle movemen…

[BACKGROUND] Weight loss patients present with major deformities, leading to the rapid development of new body contouring techniques to address their specificities. Abdominal skin laxity is often major due to rapid weight loss and inflammat…

[BACKGROUND] Radiofrequency-assisted (RF) facial rejuvenation has become a safe and reliable option for "treatment gap" patients, including (1) patients whose skin laxity is not severe enough to warrant a facelift, yet not mild enough to re…

[BACKGROUND] Pediatric first web space contractures of the hand can lead to disability in hand function. Several techniques have been proposed for treating this condition. Recently, a new technique involving the first palmar cutaneous flap …

[BACKGROUND] The treatment of the medial infraorbital region also termed the tear trough has become increasingly popular by the use of soft tissue fillers in a minimally invasive approach using a cannula. [METHODS] A total of 246 tear trou…

Oral pigmentation can arise from various factors, including physiological and pathological, or as a manifestation of an underlying systemic disease. We present an atypical case of dermal filler-related complication, in which clinical lip pi…

[PURPOSE] A combination of fillers and other modalities is often required to address all signs of periorbital aging. Patients are injected for volume loss, and for hyperpigmentation are treated with a combination treatments with chemical pe…

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is an inflammatory, scarring hair loss that commonly affects postmenopausal women and presents as frontal hairline recession, facial papules, loss of eyebrows, and facial hyperpigmentation. Because of the ch…

[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin type A is widely used for aesthetic purposes and is generally considered safe. However, rare complications such as nodule formation at injection sites can occur, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. [A…

[BACKGROUND] Hybrid fractional lasers (HFLs) have revolutionized facial laser resurfacing treatments with their dual ablative and non-ablative wavelength technology. Although HFL therapy shows promising results, safety at skin depths beyond…

[BACKGROUND] Burn scars are considered one of the challenging issues that can affect the quality of life by causing aesthetic and functional problems. Injecting nanofat particles, which are considered a source of stem cells, into the dermis…

[PURPOSE] While silicone has been shown to be effective on scars on the sternum, foot, and other areas with thicker skin, the effect of silicone on scars in the thin periocular skin has not yet been evaluated in a prospective, randomized, a…
