“…Studies that only used the PROM as an outcome measurement instrument were excluded, but study details were tabulated, per protocol. We identified 188 studies that reported treatment satisfaction as an outcome: 91 on treatment of acne 68–158 and 97 on treating acne scars (a possible sequela of acne) 159–255 . These numbers show that clinicians and researchers do consider treatment satisfaction as an important outcome.…”

Background After dermatitis, acne is the next skin disease to contribute most to the burden of skin diseases worldwide. Recently, seven core outcome domains have been identified, which together form an Acne Core Outcome Set (ACORN). One of these was satisfaction with acne treatment. Objectives To identify studies that described the development of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS), evaluated one or more measurement properties of a PROM, or evaluated the interpretability of a PROM in patients with acne regarding treatment satisfaction. Methods The COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) search strategy for identifying PROMS on acne treatment satisfaction was used. We searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Emcare, PsycINFO and Academic Search premier (June 2020). Study selection, data extraction and assessment of methodological quality according to COSMIN guidance were carried out independently by two authors. Results Only one study could be included, describing the development of a treatment satisfaction measure in patients with acne. The development was assessed as inadequate and data on measurement properties were lacking. Additionally, we found 188 studies reporting treatment satisfaction solely as an outcome, using a wide variety of methods, none of them standardized or validated. Conclusions We could not find a PROM on treatment satisfaction to recommend for a core outcome set in acne. There is an unmet need for a PROM on treatment satisfaction in acne that is robustly developed, designed and validated.What is already known about this topic?• Core outcome sets are consensus-based minimum outcome measures that should be reported in clinical trials of a specific disease or target condition.

“…A similar effect was found in our study; as the number of treatments increased, both radiofrequency instruments were able to improve active acne. Several studies have explored the mechanism of radiofrequency treatment for the treatment of active acne, which may include heat generated by radiofrequency inducing thermal denaturation of the peri‐hair follicle collagen, hair follicle, and sebaceous gland and killing of C acnes , the pathogenic factor in the development of acne vulgaris.…”

Purpose Radiofrequency equipment, including invasive fractional microneedle radiofrequency (FMR) and noninvasive fractional radiofrequency (FR), has facilitated progress in the field of active acne treatment, but clinical data are limited. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of FMR and FR in the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe acne vulgaris. Methods Ten patients with moderate‐to‐severe acne were enrolled in a 24‐week, prospective, single‐blind, randomized, comparative clinical trial with a split‐face design. Fractional microneedle radiofrequency treatment was provided on one side of the face and FR on the opposite side. Three consecutive treatments were performed at 4‐week interval. Objective assessment of efficacy was performed using the Acne Severity Index (ASI), and acne inflammatory lesions and noninflammatory lesions were evaluated. Results After the first treatment, ASI and both inflammatory and noninflammatory lesions of the FMR‐treated side were improved to a greater degree than the FR‐treated side. Patients' subjective satisfaction was also better regarding the FMR‐treated side. After subsequent treatments, efficacy improves for both groups, and no significant differences in the above efficacy parameters between the two groups were observed. Pain scores were significantly higher for the FR‐treated side than the FMR‐treated side. Conclusion Fractional microneedle radiofrequency is faster and more effective than FR for the treatment of moderate and severe acne after only one treatment. However, after several treatment sessions, both FMR and FR proved to be safe and effective for long‐term treatment of moderate‐to‐severe acne. Therefore, invasive radiofrequency, such as FMR, or noninvasive radiofrequency, such as FR, can successfully treat active acne.

“…Fractional microneedling radiofrequency has been recently reported to improve acne, acne scar, and wrinkle. 23 It delivers bipolar radiofrequency directly to the dermis with minimal epidermal damage, resulting in dermal heating. The heat produced by the radiofrequency device originates from electron movement and conductivity of the target tissue.…”

With prevalence up to 22%, 1 rosacea severely affects the appearance of the patients, resulting in considerable psychological distress. 2 It is also known to be associated with a number of systemic disorders. 3 Specifically, papulopustular rosacea (PPR) is characterized by persistent flushing and erythema with papules or pustules in a central facial distribution. While global consensus guidelines recommend using doxycycline and topical agents as the first-line treatment of PPR, 4,5 some "difficult-to-treat cases" demonstrate
