Objectives: To find the clinical efficacy and safety of adipose tissue stem cell exosomes as an adjuvant therapy after application fractional CO2 laser for acne scars. Introduction:While ablative FCL resurfacing has demonstrated in scar treatment, patients need better improvement scars sustain side-effects post-procedural wound healing. Therefore, ASCE been tried, with synergistic effects augme...

The clinical features of the long-term (3-year) natural history of experimental histoplasmic choroiditis in primates are documented in this report. The acute choroiditis resolved into four types of lesions: chorioretinal adhesions (atrophic scars) (2%); retinal pigment epithelial window defects (21%); subclinical lesions (19%); and "disappearing" lesions (58%). It was noted that the most obviou...

Recent advances in technology have provided laser surgeons with new options for cutaneous laser resurfacing. Despite its popularity, there is limited information on the short-term and long-term side effects and complications of variable-pulsed erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (erbium:YAG) laser skin resurfacing. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate postoperative wound healing, ...
