Time interval between pulse dye laser treatments of port-wine stains: 30 years of experience.

Port-wine stains (PWS) are frequently refractory to laser treatments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of treatment interval time. From 1990, 216 patients underwent Pulsed Dye Laser sessions.

The influence of social media on patients' perception of aesthetic treatment outcome. Satisfaction with tattoo removal: A model.

The level of patient satisfaction following tattoo removal often varies and frequently diverge from clinical objectivity. This study assesses how much social media can influence patient satisfaction after picosecond laser (PSL) tattoo removal, in light of the growing influence they have on consumers. Twenty-seven patients were treated with PSL for removal of professional black tattoo.

Alopecia areata after COVID- 19 vaccination: Two cases and review of the literature.

Alopecia Areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by hair loss, due to a T-lymphocyte-mediated inflammatory response targeting anagen-phase hair follicles. Former studies have suggested that vaccination and viral infections may play a role in the onset of AA through a variety of different mechanisms. We report here two cases of AA following COVID-19 vaccination.

Hybrid fractional laser treatment for photodamaged facial skin rejuvenation 6 years following fractional CO : Comparison of clinical outcome and patients' satisfaction.

Objectives: Fractional carbon dioxide (CO ) laser resurfacing is considered an effective treatment for skin rejuvenation. The request for clinical effectiveness with shorter downtime has led to the development of new hybrid technologies, including a traditional Er:YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) fractional laser 2940 nm combined with a simultaneous nonablative 1470 nm wavelength. The aim of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction with face resurfacing performed with both the CO  laser and the hybrid laser.

Microneedle fractional radiofrequency for atrophic acne scars: In vivo evaluation of results by 3D analysis and reflectance confocal microscopy.

The efficacy of microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MFR) for the treatment of atrophic acne scars has been recently described, but accurate in vivo microscopic documentation of the processes occurring has never been reported. The aim of this study is to describe in vivo morphological atrophic acne scars' variations after treatment with MFR by means reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging. A total of 11 patients requiring treatment for atrophic facial acne scars were treated with four monthly sessions of MFR.
