Efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide laser-assisted drug delivery in the management of post-burn scars - A prospective study.
Objectives: The objective of our study is to assess the efficacy of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) in the management of post-burn scars.
Material and methods: It is a prospective study conducted from March 2021 to February 2022, with 32 patients ranging in age from 9 to 52 years. The scars lasted anywhere from 6 months to 18 years. The ethical clearance of the Institutional Ethics Committee was obtained. The patient's median age was 22 (range, 09-52). Patients were assessed using a modified Vancouver scar scale (mVSS) score before and after receiving fractional CO2 laser at monthly intervals.
Results: After one treatment, statistically significant improvements in pigment, thickness, and pliability were seen according to the mVSS scores, and these improvements persisted through the final laser session.
Conclusion: Our study has demonstrated that fractional CO2 LADD seems to be an encouraging approach in the management of post-burn scars with good patient satisfaction.
期刊介绍:
The journal will cover aspects of Dermatosurgery and Aesthetic surgery, including cutaneous surgical procedures, lasers, light based treatments and aesthetic treatments. Authors of articles addressing topics such as skin tumours, pigmentary disorders, histopathology, diagnostic techniques, drugs, applications of cosmeceuticals surgical aspects, including pre and post procedural care are highly encouraged to submit with us. The journal also publishes articles on topics in allied specialities suh as plastic surgery, maxillofacial surgery vascular surgery, oculoplastic surgery etc. that are relevant to Dermatosurgery. The journal gives preference to clinically oriented studies over experimental and animal studies. The Journal would publish peer-reviewed Original Research Articles, Systematic reviews, Narrative Reviews, Case reports, Innovations and Debates. Letters to the editor, practice points, pearls in cutaneous and aesthetic surgery, quiz page, images, novel techniques, newer uses of instruments and video presentations and ethical aspects of cutaneous and aesthetic surgery are also invited.
