Good tolerance of hyaluronic acid filler injections during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The aim of our study was to identify and evaluate the complications related to hyaluronic acid during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Method: Twelve dermatologists participated in this study. A cohort and a non-cohort follow-up were ensured.

Recommendations for the use of corrective makeup after dermatological procedures.

Introduction: The number of dermatological or cosmetic procedures carried out has continuously increased over the last decades. Almost all may cause transient local skin reactions such as erythema, blistering, crusts, scaling, hypo- or hyperpigmentation, or hemorrhagic lesions. One issue of dermatological procedures is the downtime, during which patients need to hide their skin, due to these local reactions.

Photodynamic Photorejuvenation: A Review.

Introduction: Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is acknowledged to be a safe and efficient therapeutic option for the selective destruction of actinic keratosis and superficial carcinomas. Over the past 15 years, topical PDT has also been shown to be a possible method for "photorejuvenation."

Materials And Methods: An extensive review was performed of in vitro and in vivo (animals, organ transplant recipients, or immunocompetent patients) studies.

Management of scars: updated practical guidelines and use of silicones.

Hypertrophic scars and keloids resulting from surgery, burns, trauma and infection can be associated with substantial physical and psychological distress. Various non-invasive and invasive options are currently available for the prevention and treatment of these scars. Recently, an international multidisciplinary group of 24 experts on scar management (dermatologists; plastic and reconstructive surgeons; general surgeons; physical medicine, rehabilitation and burns specialists; psychosocial and behavioural researchers; epidemiologists; beauticians) convened to update a set of practical guidelines for the prevention and treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars on the basis of the latest published clinical evidence on existing scar management options.

Clinical equivalence of conventional OnabotulinumtoxinA (900 KDa) and IncobotulinumtoxinA (neurotoxin free from complexing proteins - 150 KDa): 2012 multidisciplinary French consensus in aesthetics.

Botulinum neurotoxins are the most popular non-surgical treatments for aesthetic indications, but there is uncertainty about whether certain formulations are comparable in efficacy and safety and can be substituted for one another by a simple one to one dose conversion ratio. An expert panel of French practitioners was convened to establish a consensus on the clinical equivalence in efficacy and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA (900 KDa) and IncobotulinumtoxinA (neurotoxin free from complexing proteins - 150 KDa). The consensus was divided into three sections incorporating a biological, bibliographic and clinical analysis of the two toxins.
