Acne Atrophica Clinical Trial
Official title:
Monopolar Radiofrequency Versus Pulsed Dye Laser for Treatment of Acne Scars: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background: The acne scar is a common disorder characterized by skin eruption or
abnormalities on face, chest, and/or back in the adolescence which affect the cosmetic
appearance.
Purpose: The main aim of this study was to investigate whether monopolar radiofrequency (MRF)
or pulsed dye laser (PDL) is more effective in the cases suffering from acne scars in the
form of reducing acne scars and improving the cosmetic appearance.
Thirty patients suffering from moderate or severe acne scars were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Group A (MRF group): received 2 sessions per week with MRF for 8 weeks. Group B (PDL group): received 1 session per week with PDL for 8 weeks. The severity of acne scars was assessed before and after treatment by using the clinical evaluation scale for acne scarring (ECCA) scale and the self-assessment of clinical acne-related scars (SCARS) scale. Quality of life and the emotional impact of acne scars were evaluated by the facial acne scar quality of life (FASQoL) scale. ;
