Lasers and cosmetic dermatologic surgery for aging skin.

Many topical agents and physical modalities have been used throughout the years to give the face a more youthful appearance. The goal has always been to effectively and consistently rejuvenate the face while minimizing the time of recovery and risk for complications. Because each person is unique, there is no one modality that is best for everyone. This article reviews some of the options available for treating photoaged skin in 2001. Various lasers (e.g., vascular lesion, pigmented lesion, hair removal, and resurfacing), botulinum A toxin, chemical peels, and various dermal and subcutaneous filler substances all are discussed.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia successfully treated with a long-pulsed tunable dye laser.

BACKGROUND: To date, both surgical excision and laser treatments for angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) have resulted in scarring. OBJECTIVE: Based on the principle of selective photothermolysis, we considered employing the newer long-pulsed tunable dye laser in the treatment of ALHE, as less scarring would be expected and deeper blood vessels could be ablated. METHODS: After punch biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis, the patient was treated on two separate occasions, 2 months apart with a long-pulsed tunable dye laser. RESULTS: The lesions flattened after the initial treatment and resolved after a second treatment. No scarring was detectable and no recurrence was noted in follow-up after 1 year. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the long-pulsed tunable dye laser can be employed successfully to treat superficial lesions of ALHE, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas.

Conchal bowl skin grafting in nasal tip reconstruction: clinical and histologic evaluation.

BACKGROUND: It is often difficult to achieve an esthetically pleasing cosmetic match when full-thickness skin grafts from periclavicular, preauricular, or postauricular donor sites are used to repair distal nasal defects. This, in large part, is due to the highly sebaceous nature of the skin on the distal aspect of the nose. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to describe the benefits of using donor skin from the conchal bowl to repair defects of the nasal tip. METHODS: The technique of conchal bowl grafting is described. RESULTS: The conchal grafts give an excellent cosmetic result with respect to color and texture match and are time efficient because the donor site can be allowed to heal by secondary intention. CONCLUSION: The conchal bowl offers an esthetically reliable source of donor skin for full-thickness and perichondrial cutaneous grafts to repair defects of the nasal tip.

Dermatologic surgery of the hand. General principles and avoiding complications.

Dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons are frequently presented with significant pathology of the hand. Because the hand plays such a unique and important role in man's everyday life, preservation and restoration of its form and function is critical. The hand is both powerful and extremely delicate. Before performing any procedures in this area, dermatologists and dermatologic surgeons must have a clear understanding of the cutaneous and deep anatomy of the hand and digits, as well as a thorough knowledge of the disease process being treated and the modality being used. This article reviews the intricate anatomy, the proper hemostasis and anesthesia, and many of the complications seen in dermatologic surgery and procedures of the hand, digits, and nails. With appropriate preoperative evaluation and precautions, many dermatologic procedures may be safely performed on the hand.
