Periorbital Rejuvenation: A Review of Dermatologic Treatments

    January 1999 in “ Dermatologic surgery ”
    Rhesa May P. Manaloto, Tina S. Alster
    TLDR Different skin treatments work best for different levels of wrinkles and sun damage.
    The review from 1999 discussed various dermatologic treatments for periorbital skin rejuvenation, including topical retinoic and glycolic acid preparations, chemical peels, botulinum and collagen injections, dermabrasion, and laser resurfacing. It concluded that minimal photodamage with mild rhytides responded well to topical acid therapy and superficial peels, while moderate wrinkling and photodamage required medium-depth peels, collagen injections, or erbium:YAG laser resurfacing. For deeper rhytides and extensive photodamage, CO2 laser resurfacing and botulinum injections were necessary. The study emphasized the importance of proper patient selection and assessment of aging severity to determine the most appropriate treatment.

      community Oral minoxidil vs Topical Minoxidil w/ Retinoic acid

      in Minoxidil  6 upvotes 8 months ago
      Topical minoxidil with retinoic acid is effective but causes scalp irritation, leading the user to consider switching to 2.5mg oral minoxidil. Oral minoxidil may cause body hair growth and heart-related side effects, so it's advised to use it under medical guidance.

      community How important are Retinoic and Hydrocortisone in topical serum?

      in Treatment  4 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation is about using a topical serum for hair loss with ingredients like finasteride and minoxidil, and the option to exclude retinoic acid and hydrocortisone due to concerns about long-term effects. One user prefers using only finasteride, avoiding minoxidil and retinoic acid, and plans to remove hydrocortisone in future orders.

      A 39-year-old user has been using topical 0.3% finasteride with 6% minoxidil for almost 7 months without seeing significant improvement in hair regrowth. They are considering switching to a gel with higher minoxidil concentration, adding retinoic acid, or trying topical dutasteride, while others suggest returning to 5% minoxidil foam, adding oral finasteride, or exploring microneedling and lifestyle changes.
