Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Cosmetics aims to bring together specialists in dermatology, dermato-cosmetics and aesthetic surgeons to obtain the best results in this field of cosmetic dermatologic surgery. Dermatological surgery has made significant advancements. Many procedures are now minimally invasive.  Due to the increasing integration of AI in many fields, it is of interest to outline the importance and the way in which it could influence the fields of dermato-cosmetics and dermato-cosmetic surgery. Therefore, we invite all specialists in these fields to publish original articles or review papers on advances in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatment of dermatological conditions affecting the aesthetic aspects of the face and neck in both women and men, as well as the impact AI can have on the indications, treatment plan and results in this field.

Hair loss is a widespread issue affecting both men and women, with significant aesthetic and psychological impacts. This study aimed to evaluate various hair restoration treatments, assess patient satisfaction, and identify the correlations between treatment types, treatment duration, and outcomes. We conducted a retrospective observational study on 50 patients who completed a 26-question online survey about their hair loss experience, treatments tried, and satisfaction levels. The treatments included FDA-approved drugs (finasteride and minoxidil), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, hormonal treatments, hair transplant surgery, and nutritional supplements. The results showed that a combination of PRP and topical minoxidil/finasteride produced significant improvements in hair density and thickness. Higher patient satisfaction was correlated with multiple treatment combinations and a longer treatment duration, while surgical hair transplants achieved the highest satisfaction rates despite their invasiveness. This study found that consistency and combination treatments are the key to the optimal hair restoration outcomes. Its limitations included a lack of racial diversity among the participants and the reliance on self-reported data. Overall, non-surgical therapies, particularly when combined, offer effective solutions for early-stage hair loss, while hair transplants remain the most definitive option for severe cases.

Dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by muscle weakness and skin rashes. Management typically involves high-dose cortisone treatment, which raises concerns about the feasibility and safety of aesthetic surgeries for affected individuals. This case report presents a successful outcome of an aesthetic surgery conducted on a dermatomyositis patient undergoing high-dose cortisone therapy. The patient, a 39-year-old female with a history of juvenile dermatomyositis, expressed a desire for aesthetic improvement, first in the periocular area and then in terms of the appearance of her breasts. Despite the challenges posed by the underlying condition and ongoing corticosteroid treatment, the patient underwent elective aesthetic surgeries with meticulous perioperative care and close collaboration between the surgical, anesthetic, and rheumatology teams. The successful outcome of the procedures enhanced the patient’s self-esteem and quality of life. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment planning, interdisciplinary collaboration, and careful perioperative management for achieving favorable aesthetic outcomes for patients with dermatomyositis undergoing corticosteroid therapy for more than 20 years. Further research and awareness are warranted to guide the safe performance of aesthetic surgeries on this unique patient population. Full article
