The protrusion of the orbital fat, aggravated by local dyschromia, causes an unpleasant aesthetic appearance, which worsens with age. This study describes 15 cases of treating the tear trough with hyaluronic acid filling. The substance was deeply injected through retro injection. Eleven patients (73%) were satisfied with the procedure. Two cases (13%) presented edema in the treated area, one case (6%) developed hyperchromia of the lower eyelids, and another (6%) developed an irregularity on the cutaneous surface in the area that was filled, and was treated with hyaluronidase. This technique demonstrated good results, with no serious complications.

Palisaded encapsulated neuromas are solitary neural skin tumors characterized by the presence of compact and parallel bundles of Schwann cell fascicles. The present article reports a case of this type of tumor, which was confirmed by anatomic pathological examination of a 55-year-old female patient who reported hypochromic macula growth, which had evolved into a smooth domed superficial papule with telangiectasias, simulating a basal cell carcinoma. Having knowledge of this entity is crucial in order to carry out differential diagnoses-comparing it to other lesions-especially basal cell carcinomas, skin appendage tumors, nevi, and epidermal cysts.

This review article reports the scientific data available on La Roche-Posay thermal water and clarifies its mechanisms of action, indications, and clinical benefits. Clinical studies and genomic evaluation of the skin microbiome have shown that La Roche-Posay thermal water improves the skin microbiome’s diversity and reduces the severity of skin lesions in inflammatory dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Therefore, it justifies the use of selenium-rich water in topical formulations to prevent or treat skin diseases and as an adjunct to increase dermatological patients’ quality of life.
