View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The treatment of perioral vertical wrinkles is a very common request from female patients as of their 40th decade of life. Actinic damage, cigarette smoking, loss of deep structures volume, sleep positions, orthodontic deformities, and dynamic components have been thought to cause this aesthetic problem.
Objective: The objective was to investigate the combination of botulinum toxin type A (BoNTA) pretreatment of the orbicularis oris muscle with manual chemabrasion to increase its clinical efficacy in the therapy of upper perioral vertical rhytides.
Background: The cardinal signs and symptoms of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) include periodic fever, arthralgia and arthritis, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, an evanescent rash accompanied by neutrophilic granulocytosis, and a negative rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibody test.
Objective: To alert clinicians and dermatologists to internal diseases such as AOSD when assisting patients with urticarial eruptions and systemic symptoms.
Methods: A case report of a 52-year-old white woman who received conventional therapy for urticaria for 3 years, with no improvement.
Background: Transverse overcurvature of the nail is a painful condition that has been treated by conservative and/or surgical methods.
Objectives: We sought to evaluate the efficacy of a plastic device for treatment of transverse overcurvature of the nail and to use a practical method (plaster mold) to evaluate follow-up of nail widening during and after treatment.
Methods: Twenty-five patients with transverse overcurvature of the nail were treated with placement of a plastic device.
Background: Acne scar treatment remains a challenge in the medical literature. It is very difficult to compare the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches because of the lack of consensus regarding acne scar description and classification.
Objective: To establish a morphologic classification of acne scars and to assess the efficacy of different therapeutic options based on scar type.
Background: Among factors that may affect the potency of botulinum toxin A (Botox), it is said that foam, together with bubbles, may cause surface denaturation of the toxin.
Objective: To determine whether the muscle relaxation effect of Botox is preserved and has the same duration when it is reconstituted in the presence of foam.
Methods: Six female volunteers, aged 42 to 56 years old, were treated for glabellar and periocular wrinkles.
