A Multimodal Approach to Acne-Induced Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Trifarotene as a Long-Term Intervention.

Acne vulgaris, caused by pathophysiological processes at the pilosebaceous unit, is among the most common chronic dermatological disorders. Acne sequelae, including scarring and dyspigmentation, are common, and are often more distressing to patients than active acne lesions, reinforcing the importance of prevention and effective treatment. Trifarotene, a novel fourth generation retinoid selective for retinoid acid receptor gamma, is approved for the management of moderate-to-severe facial and truncal acne, with recent data supporting its efficacy in acne-induced hyperpigmentation.

Teledermatology and Virtual Visits for Acne Management: A Review.

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition requiring individualized management. Teledermatology provides convenience and accessibility that is highly suitable for this dermatological condition. Herein, our review aimed to describe the current state of teledermatology in the context of acne management and to assess patient satisfaction, adherence to virtual care, and the experiences of health care providers in delivering remote dermatological services.

Energy-Based Devices for the Treatment of Cutaneous Verrucae: A Systematic Review.

Background: Warts are one of the most common benign neoplasms caused by human papillomavirus infection and often pose a therapeutic challenge.

Objective: To summarize the current evidence on the safety and efficacy of laser and energy-based devices for the treatment of cutaneous verrucae.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic review of the literature on laser and energy-based devices for the treatment of cutaneous verrucae was performed.

The Use of Lasers and Light Devices in Acne Management: An Update.

Acne vulgaris is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit and the most common inflammatory dermatosis worldwide. It is also associated with significant economic burden. Limitations of conventional topical and systemic treatments include long treatment course, intolerable adverse effects, antibiotic resistance, and patient compliance.

89% Vichy mineralizing water with hyaluronic acid is a well-tolerated adjunct treatment that helps restore skin barrier function in dry skin-related inflammatory dermatoses and post-procedure skin care: A Canadian study.

Introduction: Minéral 89 (M89), comprised of 89% Vichy mineralizing water and hyaluronic acid, has been formulated to help strengthen and restore skin barrier.

Aim: Assess tolerance and efficacy of M89 in post-esthetic procedures and dry skin-related facial dermatoses.

Method: Adults post-esthetic procedure or presenting with inflammatory dermatoses (47 subjects; mean age 40.

Dermatologic Laser Side Effects and Complications: Prevention and Management.

The evolution of modern laser and light-based systems has mirrored the demand for clinically effective treatments and the need for safer technologies with reduced postoperative recovery, side effects, and complications. With each new generation of lasers, more selective tissue destruction can be achieved with reduced unwanted sequelae. Patient selection and preparation, operator technique, and expeditious recognition and management of post-treatment side effects are paramount in avoiding complications and patient dissatisfaction.

Skin Surface pH.

The role of skin surface pH, also referred to as “acid mantle,” was described more than 90 years ago and due to developing insights has now returned into focus.1

Microneedling Treatment of Striae Distensae in Light and Dark Skin With Long-Term Follow-Up.

Background: Striae distensae have notoriously been difficult to treat due to their extensive involvement of nonfacial skin. Microneedling with its lack of thermal injury during microneedling treatment renders it a viable treatment option in darker skin tones and nonfacial regions due to the reduced risk of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Objective: To describe the clinical results and side effects of microneedling in a series of 25 individuals with striae distensae.

Laser Therapy for an Acquired Glomuvenous Malformation (Glomus Tumour): A Nonsurgical Approach.

Background: Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs) (previously known as glomus tumours) are uncommon, benign, vascular neoplasms. Current treatments include surgical excision and sclerotherapy, often with high recurrence rates and poor cosmetic results.

Objective: We sought to use a nonsurgical approach for treatment of a GVM.

Cinnamon spice and everything not nice: many features of intraoral allergy to cinnamic aldehyde.

Intraoral allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is an uncommonly reported entity. The most commonly implicated allergens are metals that are incorporated into dental appliances. Intraoral ACD to nonmetal allergens is even less frequently described.
