Advanced cases of alopecia can be very difficult to treat pharmacologically. Hair loss can be emotionally taxing for many, leading to depression, anxiety, or suicide. Currently, there is limited medical literature on prosthetic hair devices available for patients with alopecia.

Enlarged facial pores are a common cosmetic concern of the skin, rather than a disease, and have not received much attention from dermatologists in recent years. Consequently, progress in understanding their pathogenesis has been limited, and current cosmetic solutions have limitations. Given that the complement system has regained interest as a key player in chronic inflammatory skin conditions, various mechanisms involving this system are being investigated.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disease usually associated with persistent erythema and periodic flushing. This disease is difficult to treat, and the outcomes are often unsatisfactory and prone to recurrence. In recent years, botulinum toxin has been used as a new treatment for rosacea; however, its efficacy and safety remain under discussion. Although a systematic review of the effectiveness and safety of botulinum toxin has been previously conducted by other researchers, our systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin from a more comprehensive and detailed perspective to provide evidence for clinicians.

Each year, over 100 million patients are afflicted with new scars from medical procedures worldwide. Natural compounds have shown promise in the treatment of scars and skin disorders. Rosehip oil (RO), produced from the pressed fruit of the rosehip (Rosa canina L.) plant, is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The use of this plant in the treatment of scars has yet to be reviewed.

Submental fullness (SMF), or the double chin, is a condition regarded as undesirable. Many treatment modalities are available for SMF reduction, such as energy-based devices, injection lipolysis, or surgery. However, of minimal invasive modalities, hyaluronic acid (HA) injection has not been explored for possible SMF treatment.

Initial macrophage response to biostimulatory substances is key in determining the subsequent behavior of fibroblasts and the organization of newly synthesized collagen. Though histological studies suggest that calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler initiates a regenerative healing response with collagen and elastin deposition similar to natural, healthy tissue rather than an inflammatory response with fibrosis, the relative activity of macrophages stimulated by CaHA, as well as how this activity compares to that induced by other biostimulatory fillers, has not been explored. The aim of the study is to characterize the in vitro macrophage response to two biostimulory fillers, CaHA and PLLA (poly-L lactic acid), and to evaluate their inflammatory potential.

Acne vulgaris can be treated topically with adapalene, a synthetic derivative of naphthoic acid with retinoid activity. Adapalene has a very low rate of percutaneous absorption and is almost completely insoluble in water. To obviate this problem, microemulsion (ME) carrier is used. The study's goals were to create and characterize adapalene-loaded ME and assess the drug's transfollicular route of penetration to see if hair follicles can serve as a conduit for the drug to enter the skin.

Tactile sensation plays a crucial role in object manipulation, communication, and even emotional well-being. It has been reported that the deformability of skin (also described as skin compliance) that shows a large mechanical response to stimuli is associated with high tactile sensitivity. However, although the compliance of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin, can change daily due to skin care and environmental factors, few studies have quantified the effect of the stratum corneum on tactile sensation.
