Introduction:The treatment of cutaneous aging with fractional non-ablative lasers has been intensely studied in the last few years, yet the number of publications describing specific equipments is limited.
Objective: To describe patient and dermatologist satisfaction after treatment with the Lux 1540®laser.
Methods: Retrospective study of patients (n=16) who have undergone facial rejuvenation therapy with Lux 1540® laser. Photographic assessments were performed by a dermatologist not involved in the treatments. Patient satisfaction was analyzed before treatment and after three sessions. The study variables were spots, sagging, wrinkles, enlarged pores, telangiectasias, and general satisfaction.
Results: In the dermatologist''''''''s evaluation, good or excellent improvement was found in the majority of the patients, for all studied variables. Regarding the improvement in the patients'''''''' general appearance, 82% were rated good or excellent. Regarding patients'''''''' opinions, 63% expressed good to excellent general satisfaction.
Conclusions: Treating cutaneous aging with Lux 1540® laser yields satisfactory results and maybe a good option for patients that do not want or cannot undergo more aggressive treatments.

Pemphigus vegetans is a rare clinical form of pemphigus vulgaris, and scalp involvement is even rarer. Treatment can be challenging, often requiring systemic immunosuppression. Botulinum toxin can be an effective and low-risk alternative for the treatment of pemphigus vegetans unresponsive to conventional treatments. We report an unprecedented case in the literature of successful treatment of scalp lesions through the application of botulinum toxin type A.
