This source outlines the Dermatologic Surgery journal, which provides extensive and up-to-date information on diverse dermatologic surgical procedures and skin cancer treatments, featuring peer-reviewed articles, literature reviews, and case reports valuable to professionals like dermatologists and plastic surgeons.

This study found that a lacticin 3147 solid lipid nanoparticle gel demonstrated potent and sustained antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, including MRSA, in ex vivo S. aureus-infected pig skin.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

LLLT is a safe, promising hair loss treatment, but more research needed.

This study observed that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) increased cell viability in SARS-CoV-2-uninfected HEK293/ACE2 cells but did not improve viability in infected cells, suggesting mixed effects.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman initially suspected of alopecia areata, whose scalp lesions were ultimately diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus after histopathological analysis.

Low level laser or LED therapy combined with infiltrations may help hair growth.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

This study introduced a new laser-only method called EKA for acne treatment, which is reported to be safe, painless, and heat-free, showing promising results for both acne and scar repair in initial sessions without combining with LED light.

This study presents a case of neuropsychiatric lupus in a 50-year-old woman, highlighting the severe impact on quality of life and the necessity for aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.

This case report describes a 47-year-old patient with scarred alopecia diagnosed as discoid lupus erythematosus, where treatment with multiple medications led to clinical improvement.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by alopecia, arthritis, photosensitivity, and skin rashes, confirmed through positive serology.

The abstract highlights that lichen planus can manifest as cicatricial alopecia or lichen planopilaris, while discoid lupus erythematosus, a common form of lupus erythematosus, typically causes scarring alopecia. Results are not reported here.

This case report emphasizes that lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia are not distinct diseases, highlighting the need to consider reversible causes of alopecia for effective treatment.

Two patients had a rare combination of red skin spots and white scaly skin lesions not on the genitals.

This study found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair counts in women with female pattern hair loss but not in those with telogen effluvium, without serious adverse events.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This review discusses the mixed evidence and high risk of bias in studies on low-level light therapy for treating androgenetic alopecia and calls for rigorous randomized controlled trials to assess its efficacy.

This quiz article provides a series of dermatological diagnosis questions based on a Journal of Investigative Dermatology article and includes explanations but reports no original research findings.

This study found that high-resolution laser speckle contrast imaging devices provide good reproducibility for assessing skin perfusion in mice but not for measuring haemoglobin oxygenation.
