The application of needle radiofrequency for the reduction of acne scars: a case report

100%

Pagacz K. , Chilicka K.

nr 3

Background: Acne fulminans can leaveunsightly scars that can have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to function in society, resulting in a deterioration in the overall quality of life of these patients. Scientific research shows that problems with self-esteemmay lower a person’s quality of life, making them reluctant to interact with other people.This, in turn, may lead to depression and, in extreme cases, to suicide. For people who suffer from acne fulminans, this is an extremely serious problem.This is compounded by the fact that even if they spend much of their life fighting acne, ultimately successfully, they still may be left with the visual effects of the disease, like scars. Aim of the study: The aim of the paper is to investigate how a series of six needle radiofrequency treatments will affect, and potentially shallow, the acne scars. Material and methods: The analysis was conducted on the basis of an interview, photographic documentation of the patient and skin diagnosis using the NatiAnalyzer device. The case report was based on the medical history, photographic documentation and skin diagnosis (using the Nati Skin Analyzer), of a 28-year-old female patient who had suffered from acne fulminans during her adolescence. The effectiveness of the needle radiofrequency treatment was then analyzed. Case report: A 28-year-old female patient who hadstruggled with skin eruptions caused by acne fulminans since the age of 15 underwent an examination. The lesions were located on her entire face which resulted in deep scars. The patient used a series of six needle radiofrequency treatments along with ampoules containing active ingredients. Treatments were performed once a month. Conclusions: As evaluated using Goodman and Baron’s scar scale, the scars appear to have shallowed. Additionally, the patient’s self-esteem increased.

Background: Acne scars are a common problem for those suffering from acne vulgaris. They may result in low self-esteem, especially if located in visible places such as the face. They may even impede normal societal functioning and withdrawal from the environment. Aim of the study: To investigate the effects of 20% glycol acid and fractional mesotherapy on the reduction of acne scars. Material and methods: We used interviews, case analysis and assessment of the effects of glycolic acid treatment and fractional mesotherapy on a 33-year-old female patient who experienced severe phlegmonosa acne. Case report: This 33-year-old female patient was struggling with acne at age 29. Purulent cysts were located on the cheeks and jaws on both sides of her face, leaving deep scars that disturbed everyday functioning. She was alternately given four 20% glycolic acid treatments and four fractional mesotherapy treatments. Conclusions: The combination of fractional mesotherapy treatments and exfoliation with 20% glycolic acid resulted in significant improvement. Reduced inflammation contributed to decreased acne scars as well as improvement in life quality.
