Effect of the Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor Ointment on Cutaneous Surgical Wounds Compared to Antibiotic Ointment.

Background: Applying antibiotic ointment after skin surgery can decrease infection and improve scar. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is known to be able to promote the growth and movement of epidermal cells to stimulate wound healing. Recombinant human EGF (rhEGF) ointment can be used in wet closed dressing to promotes wound healing and prevent complications by maintaining a wet environment.

"New classification of late and delayed complications after dermal filler: Localized or Generalized?".

As filler injections have become very common procedures worldwide, the number of complications has increased. However, there is a lack of systematized studies and precise classification of late and delayed complications. This study aimed to suggest new and reliable classifications and to characterize the clinical manifestations of late and delayed complications after filler injections.

Efficacy and safety of intense pulsed light using a dual-band filter for the treatment of facial acne vulgaris.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) devices have been used in acne treatment in combination with conventional topical and oral medications. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IPL treatment using a dual-band filter (400-600 nm and 800-1200 nm) in facial acne vulgaris treatment. Twenty-three acne vulgaris patients were enrolled in this study.

Clinical efficacy of 1,444nm Nd:YAG laser for xanthelasma palpebrarum.

Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) does not regress spontaneously and most patients complain of cosmetic discomfort. This study presents the results of treatment of XP using 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser. We aim to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a 1,444 nm Nd:YAG laser in XP.

Device-Induced Neocollagenesis: Profibrotic Response or True Neocollagenesis?

Background And Objectives: Many light and radiofrequency-based rejuvenation devices have claimed to increase collagen production in the skin dermal tissue. However, there has not been enough scientific evidence to prove whether the result is just a profibrotic response or not. We aimed to find the optimal skin rejuvenation device that shows true neocollagenesis.

Prospective Evaluation of Atrophic Acne Scars on the Face With Needle-Free High-Pressure Pneumatic Injection: Quantitative Volumetric Scar Improvement.

Background: Atrophic acne facial scars still pose a treatment challenge. Needle-free high-pressure pneumatic injection has recently been introduced; however, few studies exist regarding its effectiveness.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pneumatic injection for treating atrophic acne scars using a 3-dimensional optical profiling system.

Successfully Treated Severe Acne Using Selective Electrothermolysis in a Patient with Nephrotic Syndrome.

Acne is very common in adolescents and young adults. Although there are various conventional treatment modalities, some patients are prone to side effects and need alternative options. A 22-year-old male patient who were treated with high dose systemic steroid for his nephrotic syndrome, encountered severe acne on his face and neck.
