Filter by:The previous studies have demonstrated that wedge excision combined modified buried vertical mattress suture (WE-MBVMS) provides better aesthetic outcomes than traditional ways. Prolonged tension reduction is crucial in WE-MBVMS suppressing scar, while suture used during WE-MBVMS decided the length of tension reducing time to a certain degree. However, presently surgeons select suture for WE-MBVMS mostly according to their personal preference and clinical experience and clinical comparative evidence exposing the best suture for desired cosmetic outcome is lacking. Here, investigators purposed to establish a feasibility trial comparing the scars left by WE-MBVMS using sutures with different tension holding time. This is a feasibility, single-center RCT with 35 patients aiming to compare the scar of the hypogastric incision sutured by three different-absorption-rate sutures with WE-MBVMS. The incision induced by donating skin grafts is evenly divided into three segments, each segment randomly uses one of three different sutures randomly allocated by the SAS (V.9.4) statistical software. The feasibility of this study will be assessed by the primary outcomes, including patient and clinician enrolment refusal as well as their reasons, reasons for ineligibility, recruitment ratio, retention and withdrawal at each follow-up point (1, 3, and 6 months), reasons for withdrawal, integrity of collected data and adverse event rates. Secondary outcome measures of the cosmetic outcome of scar will help shape future fully powered RCT by formulating the sample size.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Arazlo Lotion (Tazarotene 0.045% Lotion) for treatment of postinflammatory erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in subjects with acne.
Acne scars represent a frequent complication of moderate/severe acne and may negatively impact on psychosocial and physical well-being of acne patients. Several types of acne scars have been classified and the same patient is likely to have more than one type. Each type can be treated with varying degrees of success. The main acne scars are the following: Atrophic or Depressed Scarring: - Ice pick: An ice pick scar has a wide shaft that narrows down to the tip. It resembles a hole that's wide at the top and narrows to a point as it goes deeper into the skin. Such an indentation is common and one of the most challenging scars to heal. This scar is more frequent on forehead and upper cheeks, where skin is thinner. - Rolling: These scars are typically found on the lower cheeks and jaw, where skin is thicker. The indents have sloping edges that makes the skin look uneven and wavy. - Boxcar: Boxcar scars are indents that have sharper edges. Those edges go down deep into the skin. These scars are common on the lower checks and jaw.
Evaluation of cesarean scar using saline-infused sonography in women with history of cesarean scar pregnancy.
Patients will be randomized either to receive standard daily dressing or hydrocolloid dressing using a randomization generator. After closing the wound with the sutures,the scar will be covered by a hydrocolloid dressing, which will be left in place for 7 days(Experimental) or the standard dressing (Control) that will be covered with petrolatum jelly and bandaging during this time period, which has to be re-applied daily. Patients and dermatologic surgeons will then complete surveys 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days after surgery to evaluate the cosmetic appearance of these scars.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance and efficacy of the AVAVA MIRIA Laser Skin System treatment on acne scars. Participants will be treated with the MIRIA laser at least 4 times with each treatment spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The improvement of acne scars will be evaluated at 1 month and 3 months with a possibility of 6 months evaluation after the fourth treatment.
To investigate the effect of 10,600 nm CO2 laser combined with Zimmer Cryo 6 forced cold air device on the comfort and efficacy of patients with burn scars or post-operative linear scars, and to provide a safer, more effective and more satisfactory program for clinical treatment of burn scars or post-operative linear scars.
The proposed study seeks to evaluate the scar reduction capacity of BTA on excision/biopsy wounds compared to the control (normal saline) in a double-blinded randomized control trial. It will expand upon previous studies that have already demonstrated the safety and good tolerance profile of BTA. We will be conducting a split-scar study/study involving two biopsy sites in a singular patient, allowing them to serve as their own control. In keeping with the results from previously conducted studies, we hypothesize that the wounds treated with BTA will have significantly less evidence of scar formation than those sites treated with normal saline.
