TLDR The editorial introduces various topics on laser and cosmetic treatments in a medical journal.
This editorial by David J. Goldberg introduces the contents of the Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy's 2018 volume, which covers a variety of topics in the field of laser and cosmetic treatments. The issue includes articles on fractional carbon dioxide laser for facial rejuvenation, carbon dioxide laser ablation for trichoepitheliomas, the skin's response to a 1,927-nm fractional thulium fiber laser, treatment of café-au-lait macules with a 1064-nm Q-switched Nd: YAG laser, and treatment of post-pulsed dye laser purpura with the pulsed dye laser. Additionally, it features studies on non-laser treatments such as cryolipolysis for submental fat reduction in Asians, hydrolifting for skin rejuvenation, pain relief during fractionated carbon dioxide laser treatment, and a 2-year evaluation of absorbable PDO threads. The final studies discussed include esotropia following botulinum toxin type A injection, the duration of hyaluronidase efficacy and optimal timing for HA filler reinjection after hyaluronidase injection, and the clinical effect of assisted topical minoxidil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
