Perioral Tissue Evaluation With Advanced Videodermoscopy (FAV)

Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to characterize and systematically document the key dermato-mucosal structures of the perioral region in physiological conditions. Relative to the anterior chin area (ACA), the authors have tried to identify and describe pores, fine lines or wrinkles, texture patterns, superficial desquamation, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, fine ridges, grooves, sebaceous ducts, and skin irregularities. The observed features of the vermilion border (VB) and vermilion zone (VZ) include variations in color, texture, and surface characteristics, alongside the presence of fine lines and grooves. Vascular patterns and capillary visibility were observed, with pigmentation patterns providing additional insights into structural uniformity and non-uniform areas. Shiny surfaces, pore visibility, and regional differences in sebaceous activity and texture were also highlighted, reflecting the complex variability across the vermilion zone. Additionally, novel dermatoscopic and FAV findings not previously described in the literature were introduced into the analysis based on the personal observations of the investigators. This allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the skin characteristics, providing a detailed analysis for each anatomical zone studied.
