This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

This review discusses nonsurgical techniques for facial masculinization and feminization in transgender patients and reports no new clinical findings, utilizing data from analogous procedures in cisgender individuals.

This review identifies significant variability in insurance coverage for gender-affirming surgeries in the US, affecting equitable access to care for transgender individuals and suggesting a need for health policy reforms.

This article discusses various methods of facial enhancement, such as botulinum toxin and fillers, and emphasizes their temporary nature but reports no new clinical results.

This review outlines the oral toxic effects of chemotherapy and stresses the need for evaluating dental health prior to treatment to mitigate these complications, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hidradenitis suppurativa's pathogenesis, including its inflammatory nature and the role of smoking as a triggering factor, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the potential of regenerative medicine therapies, such as biologics and emerging technologies, to significantly impact aesthetic and reconstructive procedures in plastic surgery and dermatology.

This review discusses the lack of explicit theoretical foundations in empirical studies on transgender men and emphasizes the need for bioethical frameworks to guide decision-making.

This integrative review found that triamcinolone hexacetonide remains the primary treatment for mild to moderate alopecia areata but noted its significant side effects with prolonged use, while emerging therapies like PRP and minoxidil offer promising alternative benefits with fewer risks.

In this study, researchers used tissue clearing techniques on human skin and scar tissue for the first time to render them optically transparent, with the aim of revealing atypical structures and improving protocols for observing scar tissue changes.

This systematic review explored the feasibility of adding skin needling to an aesthetic clinic's offerings, examining financial implications, time investment, and its integration with existing treatments. Various challenges and learning opportunities were noted, underscoring the complexity of introducing a new service.

This article provides a biography of Dr. James E. Vogel, focusing on his career in hair restoration surgery, but it includes no new research findings.

This bibliographic review highlights the importance of microneedling as a dermatological technique for treating androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing its potential benefits and the need for personalized treatment by skilled dermatologists.

This study found that adding Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract to a powder shampoo formulation significantly improved antioxidant activity without affecting its cleansing ability, although its clinical effectiveness remains to be tested.

This article discusses various infection control practices necessary in dermatology to minimize exogenous infection risk and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers developed and optimized a curcumin nanocrystal gel to enhance skin permeability, reporting improved dissolution properties and antiproliferative effects on cell lines, suggesting it as a promising topical delivery system.

In this study, curcumin-loaded nanoparticles with a size of 400 nm showed optimal accumulation in human hair follicles after seven days, although mouse models differed significantly in penetration and retention, indicating limitations in their suitability for follicular drug delivery studies.

This review discusses recent advances in skin penetration mechanisms, specifically focusing on the enhanced understanding of the follicular pathway and its implications for transdermal therapies, immune system targeting, and nanoparticle safety.

This study highlights the role of platelets in immune interactions and severe adenovirus infection, noting that activated platelets have a shorter lifespan. Results suggest potential for developing therapies targeting platelet senescence and immunologic mechanisms.

This study concluded that dermatology has made the most significant contributions to noninvasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, while other specialties have also provided important literature in this field.

This systematic literature review found that exosome and PRP therapies show promise as effective, minimally invasive options for treating androgenetic alopecia, with clinical benefits potentially superior to or complementary to minoxidil, although standardization and larger clinical trials are needed to confirm long-term safety and efficacy.

Alopecia areata significantly harms women's self-image, causing reduced confidence and social isolation.

In this lecture, Dr. Anna Gorecka and Dr. Ewa Bieber discuss how social media has influenced the rise of cosmetic surgery and patient expectations, as well as its connection to self-esteem and body dysmorphic disorder. Results are not reported in this summary.

Dr. George A. Farber recommends using follicular unit transplantation for hair restoration because it gives a more natural look and has fewer problems compared to the older miniflap technique.

Follicular unit hair transplantation is better than Miniflap Hair Restoration due to less scarring and more natural results.

The technique effectively makes Asian eyelashes look fuller and more natural.

This review discusses the use of adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma in tissue repair and regeneration, noting their promise in surgical outcomes but emphasizing the need for further research to optimize therapies.

This study found that hair transplantation is feasible in patients with lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia, but outcomes are generally less favorable compared to other causes and these diseases may also develop after the procedure.

This study evaluated the efficacy of various skin graft types for burn injury healing, finding that xenografts had the highest repigmentation rate (87.50%), while device-facilitated autologous skin cell transplantation showed outstanding efficacy in reepithelialization, highlighting its potential in clinical practice.

This study found that HAMA hydrogels promote faster healing of skin wounds in mice by enhancing the accumulation of anti-inflammatory macrophages and increasing type III collagen in the local wound environment.
