Dermoscopy, confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography features of main inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases: A systematic review.

Background/objectives: Non-invasive skin imaging features of main skin inflammatory and autoimmune diseases have been reported, although a comprehensive review of their correlation with histopathologic features is currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to review the correlation of dermoscopic, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) criteria of main inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases with their corresponding histopathologic criteria correlation.

Methods: Studies on human subjects affected by main inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, defining the correlation of dermoscopic, RCM or OCT with histopathologic criteria, were included in the review.

Hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite for the treatment of skin laxity of the neck.

Despite being a common concern, there are very few minimally invasive treatments targeting neck skin laxity (NSL) reported in the literature. To assess the efficacy of hyperdiluted calcium hydroxyapatite (hy-CaHA) for the treatment of NSL, according to the NSL scale, and to estimate safety. Twenty patients showing NSL were treated with hy-CaHA 1:2.

A Validated Photonumeric Scale for the Evaluation of Neck Skin Laxity.

Background: Neck aging is usually evaluated together with the lower face. To date, a skin laxity scale for the neck as an independent anatomical district is lacking.

Objective: To create and validate a proposed photonumeric neck skin laxity (NSL) scale.

In vivo confocal microscopy: The role of comparative approach in patients with multiple atypical nevi.

Background: In vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) increases diagnostic accuracy for melanoma diagnosis when combined with dermoscopy. In patients with multiple atypical nevi, a comparative dermoscopic approach improves melanoma recognition and saves unnecessary excision. The performance of a comparative approach combining dermoscopy and RCM has not been yet investigated.

Hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite for skin laxity and cellulite of the skin above the knee: A pilot study.

Despite an increasing request for skin rejuvenation above the knee, very few treatment options have been reported in literature. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1:4 hyperdiluted calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in the treatment of skin laxity and dimples of the skin above the knees. A retrospective evaluation of hyperdiluted CaHA treatment for skin laxity and dimples above the knee was performed.
