Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the antimicrobial effects of Nd:YAG laser-assisted hair removal on skin flora and pathogenic microbes, focusing on the axillary region of 30 females.
- Results showed significant reductions in various bacterial counts after four laser sessions, particularly in total aerobes, anaerobes, and staphylococci, with the predominant species being Staphylococcus hominis.
- Despite the lowered bacteria counts, most participants reported no improvement or a worsening of axillary sweat odor, indicating a positive correlation between bacterial counts and odor intensity.
Background: Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive surgery that is becoming popular in hair restoration in cicatricial alopecia (CA).
Aim: Evaluation of FUE with or without platelet rich plasma (PRP) in scarring alopecia.
Patients And Methods: Twenty patients with CA were randomized into two groups.
Background: Many therapeutic modalities are available for treatment of warts, but no single therapy is universally effective. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using intralesional methylene blue (MB) followed by intense pulsed light (IPL) could be a successful option for treatment by several mechanisms.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial was carried out on eighty patients with verrucae.
