“… 66 Other devices, such as the dermastamp, a similar device that features a handpiece attached to a needle-studded block, has been used in outpatient settings. 68 Much more recently, automated microneedling stamp devices, such as the Dermapen, have come into favor for their increased safety and efficiency. 69–71 …”

Scarring is a dire consequence of acne vulgaris. Particularly, atrophic acne scarring is highly prevalent among young adults, and its physical and psychological effects can persist throughout their lives if left untreated. This literature review will analyze various non-energy-based approaches to treating atrophic acne scarring, emphasizing recent advances within the last 5 to 10 years. To accomplish this, we performed a PubMed search for various acne scar treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, subcision, microneedling, punch techniques, dermal fillers, and thread lifting. Our findings and analysis show that there is no panacean solution to treating atrophic acne scars, which explains the evolving trend towards developing unique combinatorial treatments. Although a fair comparison of each treatment approach is difficult to achieve due to the studies’ varying sample sizes, strength of evidence, treatment execution, etc, there still remains a level of consensus on what treatments are well suited for particular scar types.

“…Cosmetic application of laser therapy is a well-known field of laser therapy which has attracted a great deal of attention in dermatology and related fields. 16 Various parameters of an applied laser should be optimized to achieve a suitable therapeutic tool. Laser wavelength and pulse duration are the two important properties in laser therapy.…”

Introduction: Laser therapy has attracted experts’ attention in medical sciences. Many benefits of laser therapy are presented besides some complications. In the present study, it is tried to present a new perspective of laser therapy in the various fields of medicine. Methods: Laser therapy-related articles which are combined with regenerative medicine, cosmetic, dentistry, neurodegenerative diseases, kidney, bone fracture, and vaginal function in the English language were searched through the google scholar search engine in the range of 2000-2021. After title screening, the abstracts were evaluated to access the full texts. Results: Basic concepts and various kinds of lasers which are applied in medicine were explained. Applications of laser therapy in various fields of medicine such as pain reduction, wound healing, regenerative medicine, dentistry, and several other body organs were highlighted and some complications were pointed. Conclusion: High potential of laser therapy for application in medicine implies a reconsideration of the laser properties and also styles of laser applications to improve the treatment and prevention of its side effects.

“…When the stratum corneum is pierced with microneedles, the mechanoreceptors and nociceptors residing within the dermis are left intact. The pain felt by the patient upon microneedling is proportional to the microneedle length, i.e., the longer is the microneedle, the greater is the possibility to reach and stimulate nociceptors within the viable epidermis [39,40] .…”

“…Furthermore, several in vivo studies, in both humans [41] and animal models [43] , have demonstrated that microneedle penetration is associated with minimal bleeds. A clinical study conducted by Haq et al [39] (2009), compared the induction of skin puncture between microneedles and hypodermic needles. They found that the lesion induced and the microchannel formed by platinum-coated silicon microneedles demonstrated minimal skin trauma with a more rapid recovery rate (8-24 h) compared to that induced by hypodermic needles.…”

Aim:The aim of this literature review is to evaluate the efficacy of microneedling treatment with injectable plateletrich fibrin (i-PRF) for facial skin rejuvenation applications, using an objective skin analysis system and validated patient-reported outcome measures. Methods:The search approach involved the exploration of electronic databases. An advanced search option was applied to filter our search line, i.e., from February 2011 to April 2021. We performed a search on Medline, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, while improving the accessed articles via Ovid interface. Our keywords were chiefly aligned with a combination of MeSH terms and text words. All retrieved articles were written in English. Results:The search yielded 73 studies. After reviewing their title and summary, nine of them were found to meet the inclusion criteria and, next, the full-text articles were reviewed. Of these, three studies were excluded from systematic research, as they would no longer meet the inclusion criteria. In total, six studies were considered for review. Conclusion:Microneedling treatments combined with blood concentrates are increasingly being utilized as autologous products for aesthetic purposes. Few works can be found on i-PRF in facial rejuvenation, and even fewer on i-PRF along with microneedling. Combined applications seem to be promising and minimally invasive. Further
