Declining or Waning
- Traditional Dermatologic Procedures:
Research related to traditional surgical approaches, such as excisional surgeries for benign lesions, has seen a decline as newer minimally invasive and non-invasive techniques gain prominence. - Acne and Rosacea Treatment Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the number of studies focused solely on acne and rosacea treatments, likely overshadowed by the rise of biologic therapies and more complex dermatological conditions. - Aesthetic Dermatology:
The focus on aesthetic procedures and cosmetic dermatology appears to be diminishing, as the journal shifts towards more medically-oriented research that addresses significant health concerns and chronic dermatological conditions. - Use of Older Therapeutics:
Research focusing on older therapeutic agents and methodologies, such as topical steroid usage without the context of newer treatments, is declining as the field moves towards more innovative solutions. - Dermatopathology Studies:
There is a reduced emphasis on purely dermatopathological studies as combined clinical and translational research becomes more favored, reflecting a broader interdisciplinary approach in dermatology.
