Abstract
Background and Aim: Demodex is a common mite and ectoparasite in humans and animals. The existence of Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis in human skin can have a role in some inflammatory skin diseases such as acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of Demodex ectoparasite in women and its possible association with skin lesions.
Methods: Fifty women with skin lesions (case group) and 50 women without skin lesions (control group) were selected and evaluated by clinical and
laboratory tests. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee and the volunteers provided written informed consent. The skin scrapings were investigated by placing in a 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and lactophenol solutions and were analyzed under microscope to detect the Demodex.
Results: Twenty-two out of 50 patients (with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and eczema) had Demodex folliculorum infestation (44%). The highest levels of infestation were observed in women aged 20-30 years (22%) and the infestation of Demodex was only confirmed in 10 cases (20%) out of the 50 subjects in the control group.
Conclusion: The rate of Demodex in patients with skin lesions was much higher than healthy subjects. There was a significant association between Demodex and skin lesions (sig.=0.023, P<0.05). The authors suggest that Demodox treatment should be considered in the therapeutic strategy of some inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
Aging and wrinkles on the face and neck are natural processes throughout a person's life. On these days, there are various techniques to treat these facial lines. The non-invasive facelift technique is suggested considering the risks and effects of different cosmetic procedures. This research collected information about using polymer threads for lifting the face and treating ptosis from authentic scientific texts published in databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Web of Science. The investigations showed that when placed correctly, biodegradable polymer threads cause skin irritation and promote collagen formation, so that’s interesting for patients and doctors. Patients undergoing a facelift with polymer threads experience fewer complications than those undergoing traditional methods. Despite the low side effects of this method, some patients have opted to remove the threads after the lift due to dissatisfaction with their appearance. Threads with superficial spines and biodegradability are considered popular and attractive for lifting the soft tissue of the face due to their quick recovery and low cost. Different types of absorbable threads are available in the market, each with different compositions and have different designs depending on the place of use. This review study will discuss biodegradable polydioxanone (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL), and polylactic acid (PLLA) yarns.
