This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

This abstract lists affiliations and states no financial interests but provides no research findings to summarize.

This study reports that a new transplantation technique using tissue-engineered stem cells successfully reconstructed corneal epithelium in an animal model of severe ocular surface disease.

This study observed that systemic acitretin improved symptoms in 75% of lichen planopilaris patients, despite varied responses and a dominant female prevalence.

This review examines experimental studies on using platelet-rich plasma, stem cells, or a combo with surgical meshes for hernia repair, but presents no new results; it highlights regenerative medicine's potential in this area.

Hair grafts improved the look of a man's leg after an accident and the patient was happy with the results.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This study found that autologous micro-grafts improved wound healing and reduced pain in leg ulcers unresponsive to routine treatments within one week, lasting up to a month.

In this retrospective analysis, researchers evaluated 54 patients undergoing soft tissue reconstruction for scalp and forehead defects and reported excellent aesthetic outcomes with local flaps for defects up to 50 cm², while larger defects typically required additional skin grafting.

In this study, a combined technique of mini-punch grafting and follicular hair transplant was used on five patients with stable hairline vitiligo, resulting in satisfactory repigmentation and hair regrowth within the hairline while preventing hair loss and achieving repigmentation outside it.

This study reports that combining microneedling with low-intensity laser therapy appears to be a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia, as indicated by a literature review.

This systematic review examined the potential of microneedling for anterior neck scars but found no eligible studies directly investigating this application. Indirect evidence from other body regions suggests possible benefits, underscoring the need for targeted research to validate these findings for neck surgery patients.

This study observed a 31% decrease in antidepressant use among patients already using such medication before cosmetic surgery, suggesting a potential influence of cosmetic procedures on antidepressant needs.

This article reviews the history and various techniques of using microsurgical free scalp flaps for hair restoration in male pattern baldness, reporting no new research findings.

This study reports that mesotherapy can lead to serious complications, such as multifocal scalp abscesses and subcutaneous fat necrosis, requiring extensive surgical repair.

In this report, a 17-year-old boy received successful scalp reduction surgery for alopecia due to a thermal burn, achieving excellent cosmetic results without hypertrophic or keloidal scarring.

This article discusses the complexities of brow hair restoration and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the meticulous and technically demanding nature of this procedure.

This review discusses the use of follicular unit extraction and scalp micropigmentation in treating male pattern baldness, noting that scalp micropigmentation provides a non-surgical option to emulate natural hair appearance without downtime.

This study reported that surgical treatments for vitiligo, including tissue and cellular grafting methods, are safe and effective in selected patients, although specific advantages and disadvantages vary by technique.

This article reviews advanced dermabrasion techniques for acne scars and skin lesions, detailing patient selection and procedural steps to enhance therapeutic outcomes and avoid pitfalls, but reports no new findings.

This journal summarizes advancements in plastic and reconstructive surgery techniques, including maxillofacial reconstruction and cosmetic procedures, but reports no new research results.

This event summary reports on the 4th annual Live Surgery Workshop and Cadaver Dissection on Hair Restoration, highlighting its success and the diverse surgical techniques demonstrated.

This study found that administering Finasteride for two weeks before surgery significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing monopolar TURP, with the interventional group experiencing less mean blood loss and shorter operative times compared to the control group.

This commentary discusses the declining status of scalp reduction in hair restoration practice and reports no new clinical findings.

Using a patient's own tissue for browlifting can improve both the position and fullness of the brow for a longer-lasting rejuvenation.

In this study, Nano-Pulse Stimulation Therapy successfully cleared up to 91% of melanoma tumors in mice with less skin damage compared to cryoablation, which cleared up to 66% of tumors.

Non-transplantation methods can effectively restore hair.

This study reports on a 46-year-old female with a high hairline who underwent hairline-lowering surgery using bone-tunneling suture fixation, achieving an average of 2 cm reduction, equivalent to transplanting up to 3,000 hair grafts, with satisfactory results for both patient and surgeons.

In this study, micro-autologous fat transplantation (MAFT) for frontal augmentation using the MAFT-GUN showed high patient satisfaction and no complications among 178 patients, suggesting it may be a reliable method for forehead contouring.
