The editorial from the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy highlights a range of studies featured in the publication, focusing on the use of various energy-based devices for cosmetic treatments. It mentions a study on the efficacy and safety of a fractionated bipolar radiofrequency device for treating lower face wrinkles and laxity. Other studies discussed include the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of fractional CO₂ laser treatment for acne scars and skin rejuvenation, photodynamic therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa, and the use of long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd: YAG and 755-nm alexandrite lasers for Becker's nevus. Additionally, two papers examine low-level laser therapy for androgenic alopecia, while others explore the recall erythema phenomenon following Er:YAG laser treatment, laser management of drug-induced gingival hyperplasia, the impact of chemical peeling on self-esteem, the use of acellular dermal matrix, and the efficacy of protein extracts from adipose-derived stem cells on Asian skin.
