    Abstract Background: Atrophic acne scarring is a widely prevalent condition and one of the most distressing complications of acne vulgaris. Numerous options with variable outcomes are available for the treatment of acne scarring. Laser is considered a first-line therapy for acne scars, and recently there has been a growing interest in using stem cells and their derivatives for treating acne scars. In addition, combined therapeutic modalities often achieve more satisfactory results than a single treatment.
    Objective: We tried to evaluate the role of nanofat and fractional CO2 laser as a combined treatment approach for atrophic acne scarring.
    Methods: Twenty-five patients with atrophic acne scarring were enrolled. They received a single session of intradermal nanofat injection, at different points 1 cm apart, for acne scars. Two weeks later, they were treated with three sessions of fractional CO2 laser at monthly intervals. Patients were evaluated three months after the last session using the quantitative Goodman and Baron scoring system. Pain, side effects, and patients' satisfaction were also evaluated.
    Results: There were two males and 23 females with a mean age of 25.96 years. Their skin type ranged between Fitzpatrick skin type III, IV, and V. Boxcar scars were the most common scar type in 13 patients (52%). After treatment, there was a significant reduction (p <0.05) in the quantitative Goodman and Baron scores. The improvement was more evident in rolling scars. Seven patients reported significant improvement, and 12 reported marked improvement.
    Conclusion: This study showed that combining nanofat and fractional CO2 laser is a safe and effective treatment modality for atrophic acne scars.

    Abstract Background: Treating infraorbital dark circles is one of the commonest aesthetic demands worldwide. Autologous fat transfer is commonly used to treat dark circles by filling the grooves, without effect on skin quality. Platelet-rich plasma has been reported to improve skin quality. Autologous fat can be emulsified and filtered to produce nanofat, which is then injected superficially in the dark circles to improve skin quality and discoloration.
    Objective: To compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma versus combined fat transfer and nanofat in treating infraorbital dark circles.
    Materials and methods: 30 patients with infraorbital dark circles of combined etiological factors were randomized into 2 equal groups: Group A treated with platelet-rich plasma and Group B treated with autologous fat transfer with emulsified fat injection.
    Results: Excellent and moderate responses were observed in 3 (20%) and 2 (13%) patients in group A versus 7 (46.7%) and 4 (27%) in group B, respectively. Nonresponders were 8 (53.3%) in group A and only 1 patient (6.7%) in group B. The difference was statistically significant regarding improvement ( p = .048) and patient satisfaction ( p = .032).
    Conclusion: Autologous fat transfer with nanofat is significantly superior to platelet-rich plasma in improvement and satisfaction.

    Abstract Background: Atrophic acne scarring is a common problem. If left untreated, its implications can impair the quality of life. Various treatments, with differing degrees of success, are used to alleviate atrophic scars.
    Objective: To assess the efficacy of nanofat versus platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an adjuvant therapy to fractional CO 2 laser (FCL) for atrophic acne scars.
    Methods: This study included 35 patients with atrophic acne scars who received 3 sessions of FCL at 1-month intervals on both sides of the face, followed by intradermal PRP injection on the left side. A single session of nanofat was injected into the right side of the face 2 weeks before the laser sessions. The evaluation was conducted 3 months after the final treatment session.
    Results: After treatment, the right side of the face showed a significant reduction in Goodman scores and the indentation index of the Antera camera. The left side showed a significant difference in Goodman scores, yet the Antera camera showed a nonsignificant improvement. Nonetheless, the difference between the 2 sides was statistically insignificant.
    Conclusion: Atrophic acne scars improved with both modalities. As a result, cotreatment with these techniques may synergistically affect atrophic acne scars in efficacy and safety.

    Abstract AA is a common autoimmune skin disease that causes hair loss on the scalp and sometimes other areas of the body. New therapy approaches for alopecia areata are emerging, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes. In this study, the effects of topical steroids against fractional Er:YAG laser followed by topical steroids in the treatment of alopecia areata will be compared. A total of 30 participants with alopecia areata were included in the study. Each patient's lesions were treated with one of two methods: topical clobetasol propionate or fractional Er:YAG laser followed by topical clobetasol propionate. SALT score, patient satisfaction, and dermoscopic imaging were used to evaluate therapeutic response. Both treatment modalities showed a significant clinical improvement in alopecia areata with a statistically significant reduction in the SALT score. The SALT score was more evident in the laser-steroid group. On comparing the dermoscopy findings in both treated areas before and after treatment, a significant reduction was found regarding all dermoscopic findings of alopecia areata in both modalities. Combining fractional Er:YAG laser with topical steroids is found to be a safe treatment modality and more effective than topical steroids in alopecia areata.

    Abstract Background: Laser hair removal has become popular means of achieving hair reduction with improved quality of life.
    Objective: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of Multipass low fluence, high-frequency 755-nm Alexandrite laser versus the high fluence, low-frequency 1064-nm long-pulsed Nd: YAG laser on axillary hair reduction in women with dark skin phototypes.
    Patients and methods: This study was carried out on 30 adult women [skin type, IV-VI)] who seek axillary hair reduction. These subjects were adjusted to receive 5 laser sessions with a 1-month interval. One side received high fluence, low-frequency 1064-nm laser where the other side received multipass low fluence, high-frequency 755 nm laser. The follow-up was done using photographs, folliscope, patients' visual analog pain scale.
    Results: The mean percentage of hair density reduction showed significant improvement in both treated sides being higher in the Alex treated side with corresponding significant decreases in the mean hair thickness.
    Conclusion: Multipass low fluence, high-frequency 755-nm Alex laser practice was verified to be safe and effective for hair removal in dark skin phototypes compared to the high fluence, low frequency 1064-nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser.

    Abstract Large numbers of local and systemic therapies are available for acne treatment. Common oral or topical retinoids, antibiotics, or keratolytics are used but sometimes are inconvenient, and side effects caused by these conventional therapies prompted a search for effective and safe treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intralesional platelet-rich plasma injection versus 1064 nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris in both adolescents and post-adolescent patients. This split-face comparative study was carried out on thirty patients who suffered from moderate inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne vulgaris. The patients were classified into two groups: group I: adolescent (≤ 25 years) and group II: post-adolescent (< 25 years). Each group received four sessions of intralesional PRP injection on one side of the face and a long-pulsed Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser on the other side with 2 weeks interval. Evaluation was done by blinded dermatologists using photographs and lesions counting and by patient satisfaction. Side effects were also noted. Both groups (adolescents and post-adolescent) showed a high statistically significant improvement of inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory lesions either in PRP or Nd:YAG laser-treated side with no significant difference between the two sides. The intralesional PRP injection and 1064 nm long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser are safe and effective methods for controlling inflammatory as well as non-inflammatory acne vulgaris in both adolescents and post-adolescent patients.

    Abstract Background: Scars are the unfortunate outcome of most injuries and some diseases. Its psychological impact on patients can deeply affect their quality of life.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of autologous nanofat injection in improving the aesthetic outcome of scars, combined with histopathological correlation of the response.
    Patients and methods: Thirty patients with scars of different etiologies undergone one session of nanofat injection and evaluation was done 6 months after the session. Efficacy of treatment was assessed clinically using Vancouver scar scale by two independent blinded dermatologists and histopathologically using image analysis system.
    Results: The age of enrolled patients ranged from 18 to 40 years old. There was a statistically significant improvement on the total Vancouver scar scale regarding the height and pliability of the scars. Pathological evaluation showed an increase in epidermal thickness, increased number and density of collagen and elastic fibers along with neovascularization.
    Conclusion: Evidenced by clinical and pathological improvement, autologous nanofat injection is an effective strategy for treating scars of different etiologies.

    Abstract Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is a common condition associated with loss of terminal hair on the scalp in a specific pattern in both males and females. Management of AGA is usually challenging as the approved therapeutic options are limited. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of non-enzymatic stromal vascular fraction (SVF) as a new promising treatment for AGA. From April to December 2021, this prospective study included 30 patients with AGA who were enrolled from the University Hospitals' dermatology outpatient clinics. Patients received a single session of autologous SVF injection and were then followed up for 6 months. There was an increase in hair shaft caliber from 0.037 ± 0.01 mm before treatment with SVF to 0.056 ± 0.02 mm after 6 months of treatment. Also, hair count/cm

    Abstract Plantar warts are common cutaneous lesions caused by the human papillomavirus. Treatment of recalcitrant plantar warts stays a continuous challenge, and they are more refractory to treatment than common warts. To compare the efficacy of Long-Pulsed neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser versus pulsed dye laser (PDL) on the therapy of multiple recalcitrant plantar warts. Thirty patients with recalcitrant plantar warts were included in the current study. Half the number of warts were treated by PDL in each patient, while the other half were treated by Nd:YAG. Laser sessions were applied every 2 weeks for a maximum of six sessions. Patients were followed up both clinically and using dermoscopy. There was a complete clearance of warts in 20 patients (66.7%) with Nd:YAG laser and 19 patients (63.3%) with PDL with no statistically significant difference between both types of lasers. Pain during laser sessions was higher with Nd:YAG laser PDL and it was statistically significant (
