Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that has a major negative impact on a patient's quality of life. Although several literature reviews indicate that skin microbiota may play an important role in the development and regulation of the immune and inflammatory response of psoriasis, few clinical studies are demonstrating the benefits of using pre-, pro- and synbiotics as a therapeutic alternative at the management of the disease. In this review, we showed the use of probiotic microorganisms that may contribute to skin homeostasis and compiled the clinical trials that demonstrate the effect of therapy with probiotics on patients with psoriasis, an important area for scientific exploration in dermatology and being the first review article to compile this information.

Journal of Cosmetic DermatologyVolume 20, Issue 4 p. 1084-1085
Pairing energy-based treatments, including radiofrequency microneedling, with either injectable neuromodulators or soft-tissue fillers can be an effective therapy for facial rejuvenation. However, there remains concerns by some physicians that this combination may add new risks for adverse events. Theoretical risks of combining energy-based treatment with neuromodulator injections include unintentional spread, which may result in eyelid ptosis and asymmetry. Potential risks with soft-tissue fillers include unexpected loss of filler volume, necrosis, burn, and product migration. In order to shed more light on this topic, we performed a retrospective chart review of single-session facial treatments with radiofrequency microneedling and cosmetic injectables over a 4.5 year period. We found no documented adverse events recorded related to combination treatment. This is important information that adds to the patient safety literature.

The role of sleep in telogen effluvium and trichodynia: A commentary in the context of the current pandemic
Ellen M.S. Xerfan MD, Monica L. Andersen PhD, Anamaria S. Facina MD, PhD, Sergio Tufik MD, PhD, Jane Tomimori MD PhD
doi : 10.1111/jocd.13929
Journal of Cosmetic DermatologyVolume 20, Issue 4 p. 1088-1090
Telogen effluvium (TE), a common hair disease, is supposed to be related to stress, which could be secondary to poor sleep. We call attention to the current COVID-19 pandemic, that is leading to an increase in the prevalence of sleep disturbances, and as a consequence, higher states of stress and anxiety, which are possible triggers for TE. In parallel, trichodynia is a sensorial symptom that is commonly related with hair diseases, including TE. We argue that substance P, a neuropeptide that has participation in the neuroinflammation and in the sleep regulation, may play a possible role in this scalp paresthesia. We suggest that there may be an association between this substrate and sleep, which can aggravate trichodynia and TE. Further studies on this subject could provide more evidence on these relationships, and help to improve the patients’ quality of life and management of the condition.

Hair represents an important aspect of human individuality. The possibility of having an easy to handle hairstyle and changing it from time to time promoted an increasing search for chemical hair transformations, including permanent wavings (PW). PW is the chemical process used to convert straight into curly hair. Significant findings have been made in this field within the last three decades. In the past few years, PW has come back up to date, helping to define curls in wavy and curly hair and to create waves in straight hair. “Afro permanent” and “Beach waves” are some popular names for these new uses of PW.

Novel technique of non-surgical rejuvenation of infraorbital dark circles
Sabrina Shah-Desai MS, FRCS (Ed), Varajini Joganathan MSc, FRCOphth, FEBO
doi : 10.1111/jocd.13705
Journal of Cosmetic DermatologyVolume 20, Issue 4 p. 1214-1220
Infraorbital dark circles are a common esthetic concern which can be challenging to treat given their multifactorial nature. Under-eye dark circles are seen in all skin types, with a strong familial component in darker skin types. Other major contributing factors include soft tissue and bony changes, skin changes, lifestyle contributions, and allergies. Involutional periorbital volumetric changes cause volume loss in the tear trough, naso-jugal and palpebro-malar grove, skin and subcutaneous tissues with tethering of the eyelid skin to the tear trough ligament, giving a sunken and hollow appearance to the lower lid. Associated prolapse of the orbital fat and thin skin can worsen the appearance of a dark circle. Hyaluronic acid fillers placed in the pre-periosteal plane in the tear trough, palpebro-malar and naso-jugal grooves, give good results in patients with thick eyelid skin and negligible fat prolapse. However, in patients with thin skin and moderate fat prolapse, authors have reported worsening outcomes with risk of Tyndall (blue-gray discoloration) and contour irregularities from visible lumps.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a natural occurring phytocannabinoid, is used extensively in consumer products ranging from foods to shampoos, topical oils and lotions. Several studies demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of cannabidiol. Nevertheless, the role of cannabidiol use in sunscreens is largely unknown as no studies on its effect on keratinocytes or melanocytes exist. As such, we aimed to explore the effect of CBD on keratinocyte and melanocyte viability following ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation. CBD exhibited a dose-dependent protective effect on both keratinocytes and melanocyte viability. Further, since CBD does not demonstrate absorption in the UVB spectra, we speculate that the protective effect is due to reduction in reactive oxygen species. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the protective effect of CBD on keratinocytes and melanocytes irradiated with UVB.
