Abstract：Objective To evaluate the efficacy of medical skin care ointment in promoting wound healing after microplasma radiofrequency(MPRF)treatment for hypertrophic scars(HTS).Methods Sixty HTS patients treated at the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery,Fourth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army were enrolled.Each patient's HTS was divided into two treatment areas(A and B).Area A received MPRF alone,while Area B received MPRF followed by topical application of medical skin care ointment.Treatments were administered five times,with 1.5 months between sessions.Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS)scores were compared between areas A and B before treatment and 3 months after the fifth session.Clinical efficacy,time to complete natural crust shedding after the first treatment,and adverse reactions were also analyzed.Results Three months after the fifth treatment,VSS scores significantly decreased in both areas(P＜0.05),with Area B showing a greater reduction than Area A.The overall response rate was 85％(51/60)in Area A and 95％(57/60)in Area B,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Area B demonstrated shorter crust shedding time(P＜0.05),lower incidence of adverse reactions(P＜0.05),shorter duration of persistent erythema(P＜0.05),and less severe pain(P＜0.05)compared to Area A.Conclusion Topical medical skin care ointment following MPRF treatment for HTS promotes wound healing,enhances therapeutic outcomes,reduces adverse reactions,and alleviates pain.
