Fractional Laser Resurfacing for Acne Scars: A Review
Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | British Journal of Dermatology
AbstractThis review investigates the effectiveness of ablative and non‐ablative Fractional Photothermolysis (FP) lasers for treating facial acne scars. 26 studies (13=ablative FP; 13=non‐ablative FP) published between year‐2003 to January 2011 were reviewed. Quantitative and qualitative data from each article were examined and analysed. 4 studies were split‐face randomised controlled studies (RCTs). Whilst the data analysed where all clinically relevant and significant, there were some methodological differences between the studies. Outcomes included subjective and objective assessment of scar appearance, pre‐ and postoperative treatment, side effects and pain scores. A small number of studies used 3D Optical Profiling Imaging and histology for objective assessment. Even allowing...

[Seminar] Acne vulgaris
Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | LANCET
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from androgen-induced increased sebum production, altered keratinisation, inflammation, and bacterial colonisation of hair follicles on the face, neck, chest, and back by Propionibacterium acnes. Although early colonisation with P acnes and family history might have important roles in the disease, exactly what triggers acne and how treatment affects the course of the disease remain unclear. Other factors such as diet have been implicated, but not proven. (Source: LANCET)

Comparative analysis of adverse drug reactions to cyclines: results of a French national survey and review of the literature
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | British Journal of Dermatology
Conclusions:  In the absence of markedly better efficacy against the various cycline indications, the minocycline benefit/risk ratio was clearly lower than that of doxycycline, and possibly those of lymecycline and metacycline. In light of these findings, minocycline should no longer be considered first‐line therapy for inflammatory skin disorders, especially acne. (Source: British Journal of Dermatology)
