BackgroundThe popularity of social media appears to be increasing the acceptance of cosmetic treatments, prompting more consumers to seek cosmetic treatments. As the estimated prevalence of acne vulgaris among adult women may be as high as 54%, acne is commonly observed among patients presenting for cosmetic treatments. Concomitant treatment of acne in the aesthetic patient population will improve overall clinical outcomes.AimsThe goal of this work was to deliver a high‐quality ethical and evidence‐based educational program to physicians and adjunctive health care providers to advance patient care.MethodsThis paper is based on a webcam presentation with roundtable discussion by several notable experts in their field.ResultsA range of topical medications, injectable products, chemical peels, and energy‐based devices are available for treating acne vulgaris. In most instances, these are compatible with rejuvenation procedures in the aesthetic patient.ConclusionThe growth of social media is raising awareness of aesthetic procedures and appears to be increasing the number of patients seeking aesthetic treatment. Educating patients about the importance of treating acne vulgaris can improve overall treatment outcomes. In most instances, the presence of acne is not a barrier to aesthetic care.

“…Table 1 illustrates that reduction of sebum production is the primary mechanism of action in light‐based therapies. Energy delivered by lasers increase the skin's temperature because water is abundant in skin, and water's absorption coefficient is significant with infrared lasers 41 . Sebaceous glands are injured by the increased temperature, but discomfort and collateral damage to other skin structures cannot be avoided 41 …”

“…A better approach is to selectively deliver energy to specific chromophores within the sebaceous gland that has a higher absorption coefficient than water. Sebum in the sebaceous gland is a favorable target because it has a narrow absorption peak, higher than water, at 1726 nm 41,42 . In 2012 Sakamoto et al demonstrated optical pulses with wavelengths between 1700 and 1720 could destroy sebaceous glands in ex vivo human facial skin, with minimal damage to surrounding tissues 42 …”

IntroductionAcne is the most common reason for dermatology consultation in adolescents and young adults. Consultation is often delayed despite unsuccessful self‐treatment. Postponing effective treatment places acne sufferers at higher risk for permanent acne scars and post‐inflammatory pigment changes.AimThis review discusses clinical challenges with present therapeutic options for acne treatment and the role of a 1726 nm laser for acne.MethodsCurrent acne treatment guidelines were reviewed. A literature review was conducted for trials of light‐based acne therapy. The selectivity of previous light‐based therapies was reviewed.ResultsAvailable acne therapy is effective, but treatment‐related side effects are common. Acne treatment guidelines do not include recommendations for light‐based treatments. Different types of light‐based treatments have been tried but until now no wavelength specifically targeted sebaceous glands.ConclusionThe 1726 nm laser is safe and effective for treating mild to severe acne in all Fitzpatrick skin types. Acne resolution is apparent within the first month and improves for up to 2 years beyond treatment.

“… 7 Different treatment modalities are available for acne management. 7 , 8 Topical retinoids (adapalene, tretinoin, and tazarotene) are the first-line therapies for acne treatment, and adapalene is well tolerated than other topical retinoids. 7 , 9 Combined topical and systemic therapies are recommended for severe cases.…”

Purpose Acne vulgaris is a skin disorder primarily affecting teenagers and young adults. Acne relapse is the main drawback of oral isotretinoin (OI), which is the golden therapy for severe acne. This study aimed to assess the rate and predictive factors of acne relapse among Sudanese patients using OI. Patients and Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a dermatology and venereology clinic-Sudan, using a self-administered questionnaire and data collection sheet. Patients using OI for acne treatment were enrolled in the study. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to evaluate the association between variables. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results 225 acne patients (mean age: 26.0±4.2 years, females: 88.9%) were included in this study. OI daily dose ranged from 0.25 to 1 mg/kg/day, with frequent daily doses of 40–49 mg (57.3%) over 3–6 months (81.8%). Around one-third of patients (36%) received maintenance therapy after completion of OI course. At a 2-year follow-up, approximately 36% of patients experienced acne relapse that commonly occurred within 6–18 months after the last OI therapy. Early discontinuation of OI was a positive predictor of acne relapse which was 3.99 times greater in patients who had early discontinued OI than those completing the planned OI course (OR=3.99; p =0.002). OI cumulative doses of 120–139 mg/kg and 140–159 mg/kg were negative predictors of acne relapse (OR=0.23; p =0.001 and OR=0.15; p =0.02, respectively). Most patients (94.2%) received prescription OI, and 76.4% of women were advised to use contraceptives. About 69% of patients practiced skin care. Conclusion About one-third of patients experienced acne relapse. Early discontinuation and low cumulative doses of OI are the main risk factors for acne relapse. Long-term therapy of OI, with cumulative doses of 120–159 mg/kg, would be beneficial to reduce acne relapse.
