Objective: To assess the safety and effectiveness of using autologous nanofat injections to treat burn scars.

Autologous Nanofat Injection Combined with Fractional CO2 Laser in the Treatment of Atrophic Acne Scars.

Background: Atrophic acne scarring is a widely prevalent condition and one of the most distressing complications of acne vulgaris. Numerous options with variable outcomes are available for the treatment of acne scarring. Laser is considered a first-line therapy for acne scars, and recently there has been a growing interest in using stem cells and their derivatives for treating acne scars.

Fractional CO 2 Laser Combined With Autologous Nanofat Injection Versus Fractional CO 2 Laser Combined With Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Atrophic Acne Scars: A Split-Face Comparative Study With Optical Skin Imaging.

Background: Atrophic acne scarring is a common problem. If left untreated, its implications can impair the quality of life. Various treatments, with differing degrees of success, are used to alleviate atrophic scars.

Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma Versus Autologous Fat Transfer With Nanofat in the Treatment of Infraorbital Dark Circles: A Single-Blinded Randomized Comparative Clinical Trial.

Background: Treating infraorbital dark circles is one of the commonest aesthetic demands worldwide. Autologous fat transfer is commonly used to treat dark circles by filling the grooves, without effect on skin quality. Platelet-rich plasma has been reported to improve skin quality.

Efficacy of autologous stromal vascular fraction injection in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a common condition associated with loss of terminal hair on the scalp in a specific pattern in both males and females. Management of AGA is usually challenging as the approved therapeutic options are limited. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of non-enzymatic stromal vascular fraction (SVF) as a new promising treatment for AGA.

Comparative study between topical steroid alone versus combined fractional Erbium:YAG laser with topical steroid in treatment of alopecia areata.

AA is a common autoimmune skin disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and sometimes other areas of the body. New therapy approaches for alopecia areata are emerging, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes. In this study, the effects of topical steroids against fractional Er:YAG laser followed by topical steroids in the treatment of alopecia areata will be compared.

Fractional CO laser versus microneedling as a transepidermal drug delivery system for the treatment of alopecia areata: A clinical dermoscopic evaluation.

New treatment modalities are rising for better clinical improvement in alopecia areata. This work aims to evaluate the efficacy of fractional CO laser and microneedling as a transepidermal drug delivery in cases with alopecia areata. The study included 30 patients with alopecia areata.

Clinical evaluation of efficacy of intralesional platelet-rich plasma injection versus 1064 nm long-pulsed Neodymium:YAG laser in the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris in adolescent and post-adolescent patients: a prospective randomized split-face comparative study.

Large numbers of local and systemic therapies are available for acne treatment. Common oral or topical retinoids, antibiotics, or keratolytics are used but sometimes are inconvenient, and side effects caused by these conventional therapies prompted a search for effective and safe treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intralesional platelet-rich plasma injection versus 1064 nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris in both adolescents and post-adolescent patients.

Pulsed dye laser versus Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts: an intraindividual comparative study.

Plantar warts are common cutaneous lesions caused by the human papillomavirus. Treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts stays a continuous challenge, and they are more refractory to treatment than common warts. To compare the efficacy of Long-Pulsed neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser versus pulsed dye laser (PDL) on the therapy of multiple recalcitrant plantar warts.

Autologous nanofat injection in treatment of scars: A clinico-histopathological study.

Background: Scars are the unfortunate outcome of most injuries and some diseases. Its psychological impact on patients can deeply affect their quality of life.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous nanofat injection in improving the aesthetic outcome of scars, combined with histopathological correlation of the response.
