“…However, in studies conducted with university students, no significant difference was observed in both men and women 33 . It has been observed that self‐esteem increases after chemical peeling for both those with AV and rosacea for the purpose of treatment or for cosmetic reasons such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation 34 . The authors attributed the improvement of person's skin and body image with increased self‐esteem 34 .…”

“…34 The authors attributed the improvement of person's skin and body image with increased selfesteem. 34 In a study conducted on patients with AV, it was shown that self-esteem decreased with increasing anxiety and decreasing quality of life, but it was not found different from the control group. 35 In a study involving 3775 students aged 18 from Norway, Germany and the United States of America, 25% of female and 13% of men patients with AV stated that they felt worthless.…”

Acne vulgaris (AV) is a skin disease that is commonly seen and causes scar formation especially when left untreated. It can cause serious psychological comorbidities due to the intense involvement of appeared areas such as face and also being common in adolescence in which the body perception is not yet well established. Although psychiatric comorbidities frequently accompany AV patients in dermatology, they almost never directed to dermatology-psychiatry liaison clinics. Depression, anxiety, stress, decreased self-esteem, suicidal thoughts and even suicide attempts are too frequent to ignore in these patients, and many studies have been conducted on the positive or controversial effects of acne treatments. For this reason, serious responsibilities fall to dermatologists. They should not treat AV lesions only, but also to determine the AV patients' psychological conditions and to direct them to get help when necessary.

“…are associated with improved self-esteem. [6][7][8][9] There are some traditional surgical methods for the reduction of abdominal adiposity. However, the methods are invasive techniques, which may present a high number of complications, such as bruising, seroma, pain, perforated organs and viscera, as well as with an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis.…”

Study protocol for the use of photobiomodulation with red or infrared LED on waist circumference reduction: a randomised, double-blind clinical trial

et al. 2020

IntroductionThe search for non-invasive procedures to reduce localised adiposity in aesthetics clinics has recently been increasing. In this context, procedures, such as cryolipolysis, ultracavitation, photobiomodulation (PBM) and other techniques have been proposed. Some studies have shown that PBM can be used in body contouring. However, there is no standardisation of the protocol. More than that, as in other techniques for reducing adipose tissue, the availability of triacylglycerol may affect the lipid profile in the blood, bringing consequences to the general health of an individual. This work will aim to compare the light wavelengths when using PBM as a technique for reducing the abdominal waist circumference, while also evaluating the efficacy of the method. Changes in the lipid profile in the blood, with a long-term follow-up, will also be appraised.Methods and analysisThis will be a controlled, randomised, double-blind, single-centred clinical trial. 174 patients will be recruited at the Nove de Julho University, Brazil, and then divided into three groups: Group A—RED PBM; Group B—INFRARED PBM; Group C—PLACEBO (Sham) treatment. The treatments will consist of eight sessions, two times a week, for 4 weeks. At each session, the participants will receive 30 minutes PBM (using a radiant exposure of 127 J/cm2), with an abdominal strap containing 4 LED clusters, with 72 devices each, following the indication of randomisation. All of the groups will receive 30 min of Aussie Current, at 4 kHz, modulated at 10 Hz, 40–60 mA. The main outcome of this study will be waist circumference reduction. The secondary variables will be anthropometric data, lipid profile, liver function and adipose tissue thickness, changes in the local microcirculation, and the quality of life and self-esteem. The analyses will be performed at four stages of the research, D0, end of the eighth session (D30), 15 days after the last session (FU15), 90 days after the last session (FU90) and 180 days after the last session (FU180).Ethics and disseminationThe Ethics Committee of the Nove de Julho University, Brazil, approved the modified version of this project under No. 3414146 on 26 June 2019. This study is not yet recruiting. The results obtained will be published in a peer-reviewed journal in the related field.Trial registration numberBrazilian Registry of Clinical Trials—ReBec (RBR-9bwxcx).

“…An individual's dissatisfaction with the condition of his or her skin can lead to self‐consciousness, anxiety, and other negative emotional and psychological outcomes . Chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, filler injections, and other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures are used to improve facial skin appearance and have been associated with improvements in self‐esteem and satisfaction with skin and overall appearance . Injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers have also been shown to improve attributes of skin quality and satisfaction with the appearance of the skin .…”

Background: VYC-12, a hyaluronic acid injectable gel, is designed to treat fine lines and provides improvements in other skin quality attributes. A prospective study demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of VYC-12 for the improvement of fine lines as measured by changes in skin texture. Aims:To evaluate patient-reported outcomes in subjects treated intradermally with VYC-12 in the cheeks, forehead, and neck (optional) in the prospective study.Methods: Subjects received an initial treatment of VYC-12 (N = 131), with a touch-up treatment, if deemed necessary, offered 30 days later, and optional repeat treatment 9 months after initial or touch-up treatment. Subjects completed the FACE-Q Satisfaction With Skin scale and assessed willingness to recommend treatment to a friend at baseline, months 1, 4, 6, and 9, and month 1 after repeat treatment. Subjects also evaluated their return to normal daily social activities.Results: Satisfaction with skin improved from baseline in 90.8% of subjects at month 1, 88.4% at month 4, 83.6% at month 6, 76.4% at month 9, and 91.9% at month 1 after repeat treatment (P < .001, all time points). At least 94% of subjects returned to normal daily social activities one day after treatment (initial, touch-up, or repeat).More than 80% of subjects said they would recommend treatment to a friend at all time points through month 9 (97% at month 1 after repeat treatment). Conclusion:Treatment with VYC-12 significantly improved satisfaction with skin in the majority of subjects, with most subjects returning to normal activities 1 day after treatment.
