Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of combining microneedling with 35% glycolic acid peel and microneedling with 15% trichloroacetic acid peel in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars. The results showed that both combinations were equally effective in treating acne scars, but glycolic acid peel provided additional improvement in skin texture.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of needle-free electronic pneumatic hyaluronic acid injection (EPI-HA) treatment for facial atrophic acne scars. The results showed that 48.3% of treated sides met the criteria for success, compared with 0% for the control sides. Rolling scars were significantly improved compared with boxcar and icepick scars. Three-dimensional in vivo imaging analysis detected significant differences in scar reductions between the treated and control sides.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of fluid platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of atrophic acne scars. The results showed that fluid PRF had a higher therapeutic response than PRP, and the combination with needling further enhanced the effectiveness of both PRF and PRP. Fluid PRF is a highly effective, safe, and simple alternative to PRP for treating acne scars.

Summary: Microneedling (MN) has been shown to be effective in treating atrophic acne scars, either as a monotherapy or in combination with other treatments; studies have demonstrated that MN has good tolerability and efficacy in scar treatment; further research is needed to validate the efficacy of MN with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.

Summary: This network meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of six common photoelectric therapies. FSCO2 was found to be the mainstream treatment option, while Nd: YAG and Er: YAG require further evidence of their superior effectiveness. NAFL may be suitable for mild to moderate improvement with good tolerance, while Plasma is suitable for patients with higher pain thresholds and higher expectations. MRF did not show absolute superiority in the present study.

Summary: This study found that fractional CO2 laser was effective in treating atrophic acne scars without serious adverse reactions. Scar type and laser energy were independent clinical factors affecting its efficacy, while scar course, scar type, and fractional laser mode were independent clinical factors affecting its adverse reactions.

Summary: This systematic review examines the histopathologic findings associated with mucocutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination. The majority of these reactions are mild and consistent with conditions such as morbilliform erythema, psoriasiform dermatosis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and lichenoid or urticarial drug reactions. These reactions should not deter individuals from receiving complete vaccination.

Summary: For decades, it has been widely accepted to postpone elective surgeries in patients on, or recently administered with isotretinoin. However, recent studies have shown the need for a change in this practice. We reviewed the existing data and summarized recommendations regarding the timing of procedural interventions in these patients. It is particularly important to follow stricter guidelines for patients with darker skin phototypes.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is closely associated with various skin diseases, and cautious treatment is needed to prevent severe complications from MetS. Psoriasis, vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa, androgenetic alopecia, and lichen planus patients have a higher chance of having MetS compared to the general population. Moreover, individuals with seborrheic dermatitis and rosacea are more prone to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and higher blood lipids.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has led to adaptations in dermatology practice, with certain diagnostic and therapeutic programs being suspended. The number of diagnosed skin cancers has significantly decreased, particularly during peaks of SARS-CoV-2 variants. Guidelines now allow for a 3-month delay in excision and recommend surgery for non-melanoma growing skin cancers. Dermatologists should conduct individualized risk-benefit assessments and consider changes in routine protocols.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effect of needling (RF-needling, meso-needling, micro-needling) and ablative fractional lasers (CO2, erbium-YAG) on atrophic and hypertrophic scars. Ten relevant articles were selected based on content, topic, and inclusion criteria. Among the reviewed articles, various study designs were found, including randomized trials, controlled trials, and prospective trials. The analysis showed no significant difference between laser and micro-needling methods in the treatment of scars in 60% of the studies, and both methods showed significant improvement in the majority of cases.

Summary: The study showed that using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as adjuvant therapy in COVID-19 patients can decrease C-reactive protein levels, reduce mortality, increase O-2 saturation, and help control the inflammation trend. NAC may be more effective as prophylactic or adjuvant therapy in stable non-severe cases of COVID-19.

Summary: Autologous fat tissue injection has shown promising effects in treating alopecia, particularly in scarring alopecia. It induces angiogenesis and supports hair regrowth. It also holds promise for non-scarring alopecia. The adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) in adipose tissue secrete growth factors and have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties.
