Abstract
Purpose: This study is a retrospective, multicenter research designed to report the efficacy of Korean medicine subcision therapies in scar treatment.
Patients and methods: Charts and photographs of 29 patients who received subcision treatment between May 2016 and June 2020 in four scar treatment network clinics were analyzed. The Qualitative Global Acne Scarring Grade System (QGASC) and the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) were used to objectively measure scar scores.
Results: Except for 4 patients whose GASGS and SBSES scores remained unchanged, most patients' scars showed improvement from Visit 2 to about Visit 8. Furthermore, the degree of change for both scales was found to be statistically significant.
Conclusion: Subcision therapy using acupuncture has been found to be an effective treatment for scar, with statistically significant improvements in patients' SBSES and QGASC scores.
期刊介绍:
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
