Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cosmetic dermatology has rapidly evolved beyond traditional aesthetic enhancement, increasingly integrating scientific innovation, patient-centered care, and a holistic understanding of skin health. Recent advances in energy-based devices, injectables, regenerative medicine, and minimally invasive procedures have expanded both the therapeutic scope and clinical outcomes of cosmetic interventions.
Furthermore, the boundaries between medical and aesthetic dermatology are becoming increasingly blurred. Many conditions – such as acne scars, rosacea, pigmentary disorders, and skin aging—not only affect physical appearances but also significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being and quality of life. Thus, current cosmetic dermatology plays a crucial role in restoring not only appearances but also confidence and overall health.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances and emerging trends in cosmetic dermatology, ranging from basic research to clinical applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following :
- Energy-based devices (laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound, etc.);
- Injectable treatments ( botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, biostimulators);
- Regenerative and cell-based therapies (exosomes, stem cells, etc.);
- Skin rejuvenation and anti-aging strategies;
- Management of pigmentary disorders and vascular conditions;
- Scar treatment and hair restoration ;
- Safety, complications and evidence-based practice in cosmetic procedures;
- Psychological aspects and quality of life in aesthetic dermatology
We welcome original research articles, review and clinical studies that contribute to advancing the field of cosmetic dermatology and bridging the gap between health and aesthetics.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
