Study on the efficacy and safety of a high-power triple wavelength diode laser (810, 940, 1060 nm) for removing fine and less pigmented facial hair on Asian skin.

Introduction: Performing laser hair removal treatments on dark skin is limited by the quantity of melanin within the skin. To minimize side effects, lower values of fluence are selected when using standard 755 or 810 nm diode lasers. However, this approach may limit the effectiveness of the procedure, particularly when treating areas with thin and less pigmented hair, which is often the case in facial regions.

An Innovative Approach of Treating Acne Scars Using Bipolar Rotational Stamping and Monopolar Criss-cross Technique with Insulated Microneedling Radiofrequency in Asians.

Introduction: Microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) using insulated microneedles offers a great advantage to overcome the limitations of fractional lasers such as achieving greater depth, long downtime, and high risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel multiple depth bipolar rotational stamping and monopolar criss-cross method (Wosyet vital technique) with MNRF using insulated needles for the improvement of facial acne scars in Asians.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two patients (20 females, 12 males, average age 30.

Lasers Use in Dermatology Practice in the Evolving COVID-19 Scenario: Recommendations by SIG Lasers (IADVL Academy).

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken the entire world by storm. Almost all dermatology laser procedures are considered non-essential and there is a consensus that they should be deferred till the threat of the COVID-19 is well and truly over. The article presents recommendations for the use of lasers and energy based devices in a safe manner during and in the immediate aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic.

Therapeutic evaluation of intralesional 5% 5-fluorouracil in condyloma acuminata.

Condyloma acumianata is one of the most common virally transmitted diseases. Its prevalence has increased many fold throughout the world. Because all the currently available treatments yield low cure rates with side effects, the search for a new alternative continues.

Bullous scabies mimicking bullous pemphigoid.

Scabies is an infestation caused by Sarcoptes scabiei and characterised by polymorphous lesions that may include burrows, papules, nodules, excoriation and crusts. Vesicular and bullous lesions are rather rare. Several diseases may be confused with scabies.
