Decreased Efficacy of Topical Anesthetic Creams in Presence of Benzoyl Peroxide

Background. Topical anesthetics are widely used to diminish the sensation of pain from various medical cutaneous procedures. Any topical agent that reduces the desired effect has clinical ramifications.
Materials and Methods. Topical 6% benzocaine cream was applied to both inner forearms of five persons and covered with a bandage. One of the arms was additionally treated simultaneously with 5% benzoyl peroxide. The areas were tested with a pinprick examination every 10 minutes for the ensuing hour.
Results. There was an estimated 75% increased perception of pain on the forearm to which benzoyl peroxide was applied in consort with the topical anesthetic at all examination times.
Conclusions. Benzoyl peroxide chemically reacts with topical anesthetics such as tetracaine, procaine, pramoxine, prilocaine, and lidocaine, causing a significant reduction in their numbing effect. Clinically, make sure that the skin area to be topically anesthetized is devoid of any previous treatment with benzoyl peroxide or insist that the skin is thoroughly washed prior to application of the anesthetic.

Multipass Vector (Mpave) Technique with Nonablative Radiofrequency to Treat Facial and Neck Laxity

Background. Redundant facial and neck skin is a major feature of aging and historically has been corrected surgically. Recently, monopolar radiofrequency application has been introduced for nonablative tissue tightening of skin by volumetric heating of the deep dermis. It has been able to improve neck and cheek laxity and periorbital rhytides and to elevate eyebrows. However, questions remain as to the ideal parameters needed to optimize the use of radiofrequency.
Objective. To determine the safety and report on the efficacy of a radiofrequency application that involves a multipass vector (mpave) technique to target facial and neck skin laxity.
Methods. Twenty-five patients (skin types I to V) with mild to severe facial and neck laxity received one treatment session with monopolar radiofrequency. Treatment parameters, adverse events, and digital photographs were recorded. All patients were treated with a multipass vector technique consisting of four to five passes targeted over areas of skin that would most improve facial laxity. The multipass vector (mpave) treatment approach is described. Energy levels ranged from 62 to 91 J/cm2 per pulse.
Results. All patients experienced some immediate erythema and edema, which had completely resolved in most patients within 48 hours. No scarring or dyspigmentation was noted on follow-up at 6 and 12 weeks. Photographic analysis of pre- and post-treatment digital images revealed cosmetic improvement in facial and neck laxity in 96% of patients. The majority of patients demonstrated a moderate or better improvement. Stacked pulses in the submental region were shown to reduce fat.
Conclusions. The direct application of monopolar radiofrequency to facial and neck skin using a multipass vector (mpave) treatment approach was safely tolerated in patients of all skin types. Patient satisfaction correlated well with photographic analysis, and the technique was shown to be efficacious for most patients.     

Expanding the Spectrum of Acquired Cerebral Hemiatrophy

The authors report a 50-year-old man with progressive left hemispheric atrophy, cognitive decline, infrequent seizures, and spells suggestive of complicated migraine. They discuss the association between migraine and cerebral hemiatrophy and suggest that the spectrum of acquired cerebral hemiatrophy may be broader than what has been commonly recognized.
