Selective sebaceous gland electrothermolysis as a treatment for acne: a prospective pilot study
Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:28:11 +0100 | International Journal of Dermatology
AbstractAlthough many therapeutic options exist for acne, relapse often occurs after treatment is stopped. Some preliminary evidence suggests that selective electrothermolysis of the sebaceous glands may represent a novel therapeutic intervention. This trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of selective sebaceous gland electrothermolysis for the treatment of facial acne. Twelve patients with facial acne were enrolled, all of whom underwent three sessions of therapy. During each session, a 1.5‐mm long needle with 0.45‐mm of base insulation was inserted into pores of acne lesions. Upon insertion, a high‐frequency electrical current was applied for 0.25–0.50 seconds, for a total output of 40 W. Each treatment session took approximately 30–60 minutes. Sub...

Resistance disappears rapidly after ceasing antibiotics. Cross resistance with other organisms was not detected in this study. (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology)

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous units. Although the acne isnot a life threatening disease, studies have revealed that it has significant effect on self-image and quality of life. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the health-related quality of life in patients with acne in an Iranian context. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) were used for measuring quality of life, and severity of acne was measured by Global Acne Grading System (GAGS). The mean (SD) of DLQI and CADI scores was 6.42 (4.77) and 5.97 (2.97), respectively. Acne influenced the quality of life in 51.8% of patients from moderate to very much, and the quality of life was affected by the severity of acne (P < 0.01). Since acne has significant...

This study was conducted to investigate the presence and characteristics of the ultrasound lesions that may be found in the entheses of patients with SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis) syndrome. This cross-sectional study included 15 patients with SAPHO syndrome and 30 healthy controls matched for age, sex and body mass index. Subjects with regular sport activities as well as those with other rheumatic conditions were excluded from the study. Ultrasonography was used in both groups to study 14 entheses of the upper and lower extremities. Different elementary lesions representative of enthesis damage were defined. A total of 210 entheses in the study group and 420 in the control group were evaluated. Only one patient presented clinical enthesitis. In the study...
