Summary: This preclinical experimental study evaluated the impact of the methyl-ester of pro-resolving lipid mediator lipoxin A(4) (LXA(4)-ME) on scarring in a novel rabbit model of cleft lip repair. The results showed that LXA(4)-ME can reduce inflammation, decrease scar formation, and improve wound healing outcomes.

Summary: With the growth in popularity of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, the number of people opting for such procedures has been increasing. However, along with this rise, there has been an increase in adverse reactions and complications. Clinicians, especially cosmetic dermatologists, should be able to identify and address these reactions associated with minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in order to prevent and treat them effectively.

Summary: The review analyzed the therapeutic effects of PCI microneedling therapy on photoaged skin and scars of various etiologies, finding that most studies are small scale non-randomized trials, mostly case series, lacking methodological consistency. The literature mainly focuses on scar management, with only a few specifically investigating the effects of PCI on wrinkles and aging skin.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of automated microneedling versus fractional CO2 laser in treating traumatic scars. Both treatments showed improvements in scars, collagen, and elastin content, with the laser treatment being more effective in increasing collagen content. Microneedling was found to be effective for hypertrophic scars while fractional CO2 laser was more powerful in stimulating neocollagenesis.
