Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of dermatology and reconstructive and aesthetic surgery has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and a growing emphasis on patient-centric approaches. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in these interconnected domains, offering a platform for scientific discourse and collaboration among experts, practitioners, and researchers.

Dermatology, as the gateway to understanding and addressing various skin conditions, continues to evolve, with breakthroughs in diagnostic tools, therapeutic modalities, and personalized treatment strategies. This Special Issue will delve into novel diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, and the impact of emerging technologies on dermatological practices.

Reconstructive surgery, an integral component of the broader field, plays a pivotal role in restoring form and function to damaged or congenitally altered tissues. This Special Issue will feature contributions on state-of-the-art reconstructive techniques, regenerative medicine applications, and the intersections of reconstructive surgery with different fields of study. Articles will also highlight the multidisciplinary collaborations that drive innovation in reconstructive surgery, emphasizing the synergies between surgery, dermatology, and other related specialties.

Aesthetic surgery, frequently an aspect of the pursuit of beauty and wellbeing, continues to push the boundaries of what is achievable. This Special Issue will showcase advancements in minimally invasive procedures, cosmetic dermatology, innovative dressings, and the integration of technology into aesthetic practices.

As we embark upon this exploration of the frontiers of dermatology and reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, we invite researchers, clinicians, and thought leaders to contribute their expertise and insights. This Special Issue aims to foster a collaborative environment where the exchange of knowledge propels these fields toward a future defined by improved patient care, enhanced surgical outcomes, and a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between medical science and human beauty.

Objective: This case series aims to evaluate the efficacy, patient satisfaction, and safety of combined needle radiofrequency (RF) and topical exosome therapy for moderate to severe acne. Methods: This study involved 22 patients (12 females and 10 males, ages 18–35) with moderate to severe acne who underwent combined needle RF and topical exosome (Xomage, Zishel Bio Inc., Seoul, Republic of Korea) treatments. Each patient completed between 6 and 10 sessions, conducted weekly over three-week intervals. Acne severity was assessed using the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) scale, while patient satisfaction was measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Clinical photographs were taken at baseline and after the final treatment session. Results: All patients showed improvement in acne severity with a mean decrease in IGA score of 2.5 points from baseline to the final assessment. Patient satisfaction was high, with the majority expressing satisfaction in skin texture and acne reduction. Conclusion: Needle RF combined with topical exosome therapy appears to be an effective treatment for reducing acne lesions and improving skin quality, demonstrating a strong safety profile and high patient satisfaction.

Background: In the context of modern cancer therapy, the management of adverse effects of systemic therapies can lead to the avoidance of underdosing and withdrawal and increases in the quality of the therapeutic act and the quality of life. This review offers an overview of the skin-related toxicities associated with Cabozantinib, a multikinase inhibitor (MKI) that is approved for treating advanced kidney cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and medullary thyroid cancer. It covers the most common dermatological side effects, such as palmar–plantar erythrodysesthesia, stomatitis, hair alterations, xerosis, scrotal erythema, and subungual splinter hemorrhages. Additionally, this review includes suggested preventive strategies and management approaches based on the severity of these adverse effects. Full article
