Background: Striae distensae (Stretch marks) are common cutaneous lesions that are characterised terminally by linear bands of atrophic skin. They run perpendicular to the direction of skin tension. The pathogenesis of striae remains unclear. The etiological mechanisms involved in striae are usually classified under the headings of genetic predisposition and the mechanical rupture of dermal components as an important initiating event. The estrogen and its receptors can play an important role in the pathogenesis of stretch marks despite their presence in the epidermis. Patients and Methods: This study was carried out on 44 female patients complaining of stretch marks on different body parts. Punch skin biopsies were taken from striae distensae of the abdomen, thighs, breasts and buttocks. Immunohistochemical staining of these samples was done using estrogen receptor beta (ER-β). Results: The intensity of ER-β expression was significantly related with the site of the stretch marks (P=0.0124). The abdominal striae showed stronger staining and the buttocks showed the least expression of ER-β. Conclusion: Using hormonal replacement therapy on the skin showing early stretch marks can be helpful as prophylactic and therapeutic modality for stretch marks.

Introduction: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that causes skin depigmentation. This can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life. Dermatological cosmetics can be used to cover depigmented areas and improve the patient's quality of life. Methods: This observational study was conducted on vitiligo patients treated at Busan Hospital, South Korea. Patients were given a questionnaire to assess their quality of life before and after using dermatology cosmetics. A total of 250 research subjects took part in this study. Data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. Results: The results showed that the use of dermatological cosmetics significantly improved the quality of life of vitiligo patients. Patients report improvements in self-satisfaction, self-image, and social interactions. Conclusion: Cosmetic dermatology is a safe and effective therapeutic option to improve the quality of life of vitiligo patients.

“…Different enzymatic mechanisms are then involved depending on the enzyme considered. Several types of knotweed extracts obtained with various extraction methods or isolated compounds can act as antioxidant agents [ 21 , 25 , 29 , 32 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] or skin whiteners [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ] and can facilitate treatments for skin diseases [ 27 , 48 , 49 , 50 ]. Moreover, resveratrol is now an active ingredient broadly used in cosmetology and dermatology [ 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

Polygonum cuspidatum (P. cuspidatum) is among the world’s most problematic invasive plant species with negative ecological, socio-economic and security consequences. Management operations in areas invaded systematically generate a large quantity of plant waste, most often without outlets. Using this plant material could constitute a new alternative treatment for sustainable management. P. cuspidatum is well known to have numerous biological properties, containing notably stilbenes, quinones, flavonoids and phenolic acids. The present work proposes a reliable strategy using powerful techniques for the screening and the evaluation of the dermo-cosmetic potential of its aerial parts (AP) and root parts (RP). To the best of our knowledge, only antioxidant and anti-tyrosinase activities were previously evaluated on P. cuspidatum among the targets studied (superoxide dismutase, hyaluronidase, elastase, collagenase and tyrosinase). The results revealed strong antioxidant and anti-collagenase activities, moderate anti-hyaluronidase activity, while weak anti-elastase and anti-tyrosinase activities were observed for ethanolic extracts. Different standards selected and screened on the same targets made it possible to correlate the observed residual activities of produced extracts of P. cuspidatum from Savoie Mont Blanc and their chemical compositions. A structure-activity study was thus conducted on main molecular families, widely represented in the genus Polygonum.
