抬升联合悬吊术治疗箱车型痤疮瘢痕的疗效观察OA

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of elevation combined with suspension technique in the treatment of boxcar acne scars.Methods This split-face self-controlled study in-cluded 7 patients with boxcar acne scars who were treated at the Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University between January and May 2024.One side of patients'face received only eleva-tion treatment(the elevation group),while the other side received elevation surgery followed by suspension surgery(the combined group).The extent of improvement in scar was compared be-tween the two groups one month after the treatment.Results At baseline,neither patient self-as-sessment scores of VAS nor physician assessment scores differed significantly between the two groups(VAS:8.54±0.76 vs.8.36±0.57,t=-0.52,P=0.614;physician assessment scores:8.39±0.99 vs.7.96±0.54,t=-1.00,P=0.336).One month after the treatment,more significant reductions in both patient self-assessment scores of VAS and physician assessment scores were observed in the group of combination therapy than in that of elevation alone(VAS:6.21±1.01 vs.3.40±0.69,t=5.97,P=0.001;physician assessment scores:5.96±1.16 vs.3.40±0.96,t=4.69,P=0.003).Moreover,both patient self-assessed efficacy and physi-cian-evaluated efficacy were higher in the combination group than in the elevation group(both P＜0.01).No significant adverse reactions were observed in either group.Conclusion:Although ei-ther combination of elevation and suspension methods or elevation alone is effective for boxcar acne scars,the former displays superior efficacy.
