Annals of Dermatological Science
Bridges procedural skin science and medical dermatology, publishing rigorous original work that advances research, education and evidence-based practice for dermatologists, aesthetic physicians, cosmetic scientists and skin researchers worldwide. The journal's core remit spans regenerative and aesthetic dermatology, including collagen biostimulators (poly-L-lactic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone), hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, platelet-rich plasma, lipofilling and cellular therapies for facial rejuvenation. It equally welcomes laser and energy-based procedures, melasma and pigmentary disorders, skin ageing, barrier function and cosmeceuticals such as ceramide-based moisturizers, alongside medical dermatology topics including atopic dermatitis, cutaneous infections and hair and scalp disorders. We consider original research, systematic and narrative reviews, clinical and case reports, and editorials addressing clinical, translational and methodological questions in dermatological science. Every submission undergoes double-blind peer review. Accepted articles are published open access under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY 4.0) licence with authors retaining copyright, assigned a permanent Crossref DOI, and made discoverable through OpenAlex, Google Scholar and an OAI-PMH endpoint.
