Effect of incision early combined botulinum toxin type A injections and intense pulsed light treatment for facial small area scar surgery
Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical value of combined botulinum toxin type A injections and intense pulsed light therapy on facial scar resection of early incision. Methods 228 patients of our hospital for facial small area scar excision were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, all of them in accordance with the principle of routine removal of orthopedic reshaping surgery ifrstly, in addition to the two groups were given time after dressing stitches, then anti-scar treatment of topical silicone gel preparations were done, experimental group also in stitches incision disposable injection of botulinum toxin type A, three times intense pulsed light irradiation were given after 1, 2,3 month. Results Experimental group wound swelling time was shortened, scar a lesser extent, less pigmentation, there was no obvious keloid formation, while the control group incision swelling longer, more severe scarring, pigmentation and more, three cases occurred keloid in the jaw area. Experimental group cure rate and effective rate were as follows:91.22%and 98.25%, and in the control group cure rate and effective rate were as follows 63.16%and 92.98%, those cure rates were signiifcant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion Early incision combined with botulinum toxin type A injections and intense pulsed light treatment of facial small area scarring, which can signiifcantly improve the cure rate, and has a simple, low side effects features.
