A combined approach of subcision with either cross-linked hyaluronic acid or threads in the treatment of atrophic acne scars.

Background: Acne scars are one of the most common cosmetic concerns causing psychosocial distress.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of subcision versus its combination with either cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) or poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) threads in the treatment of atrophic post-acne scars.

Methods: Forty patients of both genders with atrophic acne scars were subjected to subcision 1 month apart for 3 sessions.

Clinical and Histopathological evaluation of different tools for the Subcision of Atrophic Acne Scars.

Background: Acne scarring can lead to social and psychological distress.

Objective: To compare the safety, efficacy, and long-term improvement of subcision using tri-beveled hypodermic (Th) needle versus cannula for the treatment of atrophic post-acne scars.

Methods: Forty-six patients with atrophic post-acne scars were treated with subcision using (Th) needle on one side of the face and a blunt cannula on the other side of the face for 6 sessions one month apart.

Evaluation of Intradermal Injection of Botulinum Toxin A for Facial Lifting.

Intradermal botolinum toxin A (BTXA) is an advanced technique that emerged in response to the increased demand for noninvasive facial lifting and skin rejuvenation. We sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intradermal injections of BTXA for facial lifting. Twenty-five female patients with mild symmetrical facial skin laxity were enrolled in this study.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid vs Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine in the treatment of warts: A comparative, double-blind, controlled study.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin polysaccharide nucleic acid (BCG-PSN) is a relatively new generation, bacteria lipopolysaccharide fraction extracted from BCG vaccine. It has a strong immunomodulatory effect with higher efficacy and fewer side effects. To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of BCG-PSN vs the viable BCG vaccine in treatment of multiple warts.

The efficacy of microneedling alone vs its combination with 5-fluorouracil solution vs 5-fluorouracil intralesional injection in the treatment of plantar warts.

Intralesional 5-fluorouracil (IL5-FU) has been used off-label for warts treatment; however, its use was limited by intense pain. Combination treatment can offer a robust therapeutic effect. Was to assess the therapeutic efficacy, safety and tolerability of microneedling vs its combination with 5-FU solution vs IL5-FU in the treatment of plantar warts.

Tranexamic Acid for Melasma Treatment: A Split-Face Study.

Background: Melasma is an acquired hyperpigmented skin disorder. Tranexamic acid (TXA) prevents ultraviolet radiation induced pigmentation in melasma through interfering with the plasminogen-plasmin pathway.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of TXA by intradermal injection versus TXA with microneedling for melasma treatment.

Intralesional cryotherapy versus cryotherapy spray for the treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts: a prospective, randomized study.

Background: Recalcitrant plantar warts are representing a therapeutic challenge. Intralesional cryotherapy (ILC) has emerged as a promising therapeutic option in recalcitrant plantar warts treatment.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of (ILC) versus Cryotherapy spray (Cryo-sp) for treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts.

Combined microneedling with tacrolimus vs tacrolimus monotherapy for vitiligo treatment.

Background: Miconeedling has been used to augment the transdermal drug delivery. Combination modalities may accelerate and improve the repigmentation in vitiligo.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and tolerability of combined microneedling with tacrolimus vs tacrolimus 0.

Efficacy of microneedling combined with tacrolimus versus either one alone for vitiligo treatment.

Background: Combination therapies have reported to augment the repigmentation in vitiligo. Microneedling (Mn) facilitates drug delivery across the skin barrier.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of Mn combined with tacrolimus vs Mn alone or tacrolimus 0.

Evaluation of platelet-rich plasma vs intralesional steroid in treatment of alopecia areata.

Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is nonscarring patchy area of hair loss. Platelets rich plasma (PRP) promotes development of new hair follicles. Dermoscopy is a diagnostic tool that helps in evaluation of skin microstructures which are not visible to naked eye.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Tretinoin in Treatment of Striae Distensae: A Comparative Study.

Background: Striae distensae (SD) are dermal scars associated with atrophy of the epidermis.

Objective: To evaluate the effect and safety of intralesional injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) versus topical tretinoin 0.05% in treatment of SD.

Serum prolactin level in chronic urticaria: Is bromocriptine inducing remission in chronic urticaria?

Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a disturbing disease with a negative impact on quality of life. Despite of several clinical studies on CU patients, its pathogenesis is poorly understood. Prolactin (PRL) is peptide hormone has immunomodulatory effects in some immune inflammatory skin diseases.

Correction of nasolabial folds wrinkle using intraoral non-ablative Er:YAG laser.

: The accentuated nasolabial folds (NLFs) is the most pronounced sign of aging. Non-ablative erbium:yttrium aluminum garnet laser (ER:YAG), Smooth mode was used for the treatment of mucosal tissue. It was reported that it is effective in facial rejuvenation.

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, polysaccharide nucleic acid in the treatment of cutaneous and oral lichen planus.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin, polysaccharide nucleic acid (BCG-PSN) therapy in the treatment of oral and cutaneous LP. Twenty-four LP patients were included in this study and classified randomly into; Oral LP group (OLP), 11 patients and Cutaneous LP group (CLP), 13 patients. All patients received intradermal injections of BCG-PSN, twice weekly for three weeks.

Evaluation and efficacy of carbon dioxide therapy (carboxytherapy) versus mesolipolysis in the treatment of cellulite.

Background: Cellulite is an irregular alteration of the skin surface giving it cottage cheese appearance. Carboxytherapy is transcutaneous infusion of carbon dioxide into the affected site. Mesolipolysis aims to remove cellulite and improve skin texture.

Sweet's syndrome: diagnostic criteria revisited.

The diagnosis of Sweet's syndrome (SS) is based on a set of criteria that requires the presence of two major and at least two minor criteria. In some cases, however, the diagnosis is not as straightforward due to the absence of certain criteria. The objective of the present study was to review the clinical, histopathological, and laboratory features of the current diagnostic criteria for SS, and to evaluate their validity in the cases reported in the literature as well as in 40 patients treated at our institution.
