“…Directional changes of CRRTs in the specific diseases or after skin procedures have been reported in some studies, which could reflect the dermal biomechanical property at various conditions. [14][15][16] Two sensors are applied to the skin surface in a supine position. The mean CRRT over the four axes (0°, 180°, 90°, and 270°) was calculated for the cheeks.…”

Background: Microneedling and fractional lasers have been used in facial rejuvenation with acceptable results and low adverse effects. Aims: To compare the efficacy of microneedling with fractional Er:YAG in facial skin rejuvenation. Patients/Methods: This study was planned as a split-face clinical trial. Volunteers were randomly allocated to receive three monthly treatments on each side of the face, one with fractional Er:YAG laser and one with microneedling. The assessments included investigating clinical outcomes by two blinded dermatologists accompanied by measuring skin biophysical characteristics including cutaneous resonance running time (CRRT) and transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Moreover, possible adverse effects, downtime, and patients' satisfaction were recorded at baseline, 1 month after each treatment, and 3 months after the last treatment session. The protocol was approved by the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20160820029436N3).Results: Of the 32 selected volunteers, 24 subjects completed the study. The clinical assessment showed a significant improvement of the face appearance along with a significant reduction in dyschromia, and periorbital wrinkling (P-value < .05), with both procedures without any considerable difference between two methods. Moreover, the patients showed substantial satisfaction with both modalities with no statistically significant difference. Mean TEWL and CRRT values also decreased significantly in both groups with no considerable difference. The downtime was significantly shorter in the microneedling-treated side. There were no long-lasting or severe adverse effects after treatment with both methods. Conclusion:Microneedling and fractional Er:YAG laser have comparable efficacy in facial rejuvenation, but little downtime of the former makes it preferable for many patients.

Background: Subcision, also known as subcutaneous incisionless surgery, is a surgical intervention used to treat a variety of skin conditions including atrophic acne scars, depressed scars, cellulite, and wrinkles. Aims:We plan to prepare a review article about the indications of subcision, its adverse reactions, and pearls. Patients/Methods: We searched the literature for the information about subcision and its applications from papers published up to March 2019. The search was performed through the databases of the National Library of Medicine. Results: After a thorough review of the published papers about subcision, we finally chose to review 40 articles that had proper sample size and design to prepare this review article. Twenty-one papers were related to the application of subcision in the treatment of acne scar and other scars. Four articles were about the application of subcision to treat cellulite, and eight articles were related to other applications of subcision such as the treatment of striae or nasolabial fold. The remaining seven articles include published review papers about subcision or acne scar classification. Conclusion: Subcision seems to be effective on various skin conditions including acne scar, other depressed scars, and cellulite. It is easy to apply and inexpensive with short downtime and no significant complications. Subcision needs proper technique and adequate experience.

“…Like other authors, we support that biphasic hyaluronic acid is a myth and that discrimination of hyaluronic acid fillers as biphasic or monophasic is proved scientifically incorrect and should therefore be avoided. 3 We believe that further research needs to be performed to clarify the true relation between terms such as clinical efficacy and hyaluronic acid components. Until then, studies such as this one need to be carefully filtered to avoid misunderstandings that might lead to confusion.…”
