Sweet syndrome
by Dr. Yiannis Neofytou
Sweet’s syndrome is characterized by sudden onset of fever, leukocytosis, and tender, raised, erythematous, and well-circumscribed papules and plaques, histologically composed of neutrophilic infiltrates. Sweet’s syndrome primarily affects adults and occurs three times more frequently in women than in men. The lesions may have a strongly edematous appearance (first image) or simply be infiltrated (second image). They are usually found on the face, neck, upper trunk and extremities.They are characterized by a burning sensation but not itching. Vesiculation or pustular development may occur on the surface of the plaques as a result of an intense choroidal inflammatory infiltrate and accompanying choroidal edema. The condition may resolve spontaneously or be managed with topical or systemic steroids.

MESOPEN
Mesopen is an alternative form of mesotherapy. It helps the penetration of active substances, creating portals of entry into the skin barrier with the creation of controlled micronulls, thanks to its specially designed head (pen with 12 tiny titanium pins), without obvious skin injury. Through this mechanism of action, the penetration capacity of the active substances increases.
