In the evaluation of the facial aging, the midface certainly represents the part that undergoes the most modifications and in which the aging process is most evident. The filling and redefinition of this part are fundamental to modify the perception of the age of the face and create a global rejuvenation effect. In general, high G’ fillers with a deep implant are used to treat the midface, taking advantage of the high lifting capacity and persistence of the implant in place.

Blepharochalasis, induced by the aging process, is an important esthetic blemish which can be solved by blepharoplasty, the most performed cosmetic surgical procedure in the world today to repair droopy eyelids. Nowadays, there is a greater interest to combine blepharoplasty with minimally invasive treatments to harmonize the oval shape of the face. Therefore, blepharoplasty technique could be associated with face thread lifting, a safe and effective technique that optimizes the rejuvenation of the central and lower part of the face.

Port-wine stain (PWS) is a benign capillary malformation that most commonly occurs in the head and neck. It is present at birth and progresses over time. It is formed by progressive dilatation of post-capillary venules and is associated with hypertrophy and nodularity with increasing age, leading to cosmetic disfigurement and psychological aggravation. It is caused by genetic mosaicism in GNAQ and GNA11 genes. Histopathology is the gold standard for assessment of PWS but it is invasive and may cause scarring. Inadequate characterization of the lesions may predispose to inadequate treatment protocols as well as higher treatment dosages. Clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy is subjective and may not be a representative of actual results. Therefore, an objective visualization modality is required. With evolving technology, numerous optical instruments have been developed for objective evaluation and visualization of subsurface structures. These include VISIA-CR™ system, videodermoscopy, high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS), laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI), reflectance spectrophotometers and tristimulus colorimeter, laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), cross-polarized diffuse reflectance imaging system (CDR), reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI). These semi-quantitative modes of diagnosis are complementary to each other. Some can be used in the clinical setting while others, due to high instrument cost, are limited to the research settings. In this review, we bring to you a brief overview of noninvasive diagnostic modalities in PWS.

Sixty years ago, Ross discussed the use of oral dapsone in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Ross was fundamental in demonstrating the importance of this medication in dermatology. Following this, topical formulations have been used for the treatment of acne vulgaris which has not responded to traditional therapies. We explore the impact that the discovery of dapsone has had on subsequent research and clinical practice and explore the typical doses and side effects of this often sidelined therapy.

Sensitive skin or cutaneous sensory syndrome is defined as a skin condition that is hypersensitive to stimuli, presented with itching, irritant, erythema, and dryness. However, is it associated with more than impairment of epidermal functions, psychological stress and topical medication or products? We think that it can be a skin condition or manifestation of other cutaneous or extracutaneous disorders. In this paper, we brief relation of sensitive skin syndrome with cutaneous and extracutaneous disorders, clinically, and pathophysiologically.

This commentary examines the utility of arnica in cosmetic dermatology. For many years, arnica has been used to reduce the morbidity associated with various procedures, including surgeries and treatments with lasers and other energy-based devices. Arnica is a traditional homeopathic remedy that can reduce post-procedural edema and bruising. Although it has been used clinically by many physicians and is widely and readily available to patients, the available data is limited and often conflicting. We reviewed the relevant information on arnica and offer our own insights into its use in order to shed more light on its periprocedural utility.

Botox is well known to be safe and effective; however, in some rare instances, there are unwanted side effects that every clinician should be aware of and can address to their clients. A rare encounter in the upper face is mild ptosis of the forehead along with mid-horizontal line that divided and parted the forehead into two distinctive nearly equal horizontal portions. A woman experienced a deep furrow line across her forehead post-Azzalure injection by a week, with noticeable glabella projection. This line should expect to resolve by itself within few weeks. This could be attributed to overactivity and overcompensation of the surrounding untreated muscles in the same vicinity. Also, it could be attributed to different forehead muscle patterns.

Features of the lower third of the face (eg, prominent chin and jaw) are particularly important in perceptions of masculinity. A strategy has been developed for male patients based on an initial consultation emphasizing the safety and masculinizing potential of injectables, followed by treatment with a high G’ hyaluronic acid filler targeting the lower third.

Acne vulgaris is common dermatologic condition with an estimated prevalence of 80%. Acne has been shown to have a significant impact on patient quality of life and mental health, especially as inflammatory lesions typically occur on cosmetically sensitive areas with the potential for permanent scarring. There have been numerous advances in the treatment of inflammatory acne with light-based and laser devices. This technology permits effective treatment of active acne and scarring, with a short recovery and a decreased side effect profile as compared to medicinal standard-of-care and photodynamic therapies.

Rosacea is a common skin disease that is troublesome for both the patients and the dermatologists. Erythema, telangiectasia, papulopustular changes, and phymatous changes are the main problems faced by the patients and dermatologists in everyday practice. Due to the chronic and relapsing nature of the disease, patients are usually unsatisfied with conventional treatment methods. We report a case of a patient with rosacea, erythematotelangiectatic subtype with an eight-year history of progressive worsening and experience of combined therapy based on the broadband pulse light and topical 0.5% brimonidine tartrate gel. The effectiveness of the therapy was evaluated using multispectral skin imaging that enables to define morphological patterns of the pathological skin areas in a real-time mode as well as to create the map of hemoglobin distribution and to measure its concentration in the rosacea foci. In this case report, an efficacy and very good tolerability of the abovementioned treatment have been demonstrated.

Skin laxity is one of the defining characteristics of aging and can be the result of various factors including intrinsic aging, genetics, diet, stress, lifestyle, sun exposure, weight fluctuations, and smoking. Recent reports suggest the ability of subdermal energy application to reduce skin laxity. Thermal energy can be delivered using different devices including lasers, radiofrequency (RF) monopolar and bipolar devices, and plasma/RF devices. Plasma-based energy platforms generate a plasma gas, allowing heat to be applied to the tissue. This study focused on the evaluation of thermal effect of plasma/RF compared to a monopolar RF device applied percutaneously to the subdermis and connective fibroseptal network in a porcine model.

Treatment-refractory lesions of vitiligo and psoriasis are typically associated with significant psychological morbidity. Although narrowband-ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy remains one of the safest and effective treatment modalities, the cost and logistics related to the access and high cost of therapy delivered artificially via devices/chambers become highly restrictive. The use of topical Photocil®, a novel topical band-pass filter cream (TBFC), that selectively filters solar radiation, biasing toward delivery of 311–313 nm (action spectrum of NB-UVB) to the treated lesions, following the exposure of TBFC-smeared lesions to natural sunlight offsets many aforementioned limitations of artificial phototherapy. The non-inferior efficacy of Photocil® as an alternative to artificial NB-UVB has recently been reported in patients with lighter skin phototypes (SPT) with non-segmental vitiligo and psoriasis.
