Laser light and pharmophoresis for treating atrophic scars
Atrophic scars is one of the most wide-spread pathologies, and patients should visit specialized dermatological and cosmetic centers to correct them. Etiology and pathogenesis of atrophic scars are very diverse, but morphological and functional changes in the skin are highly specific for all types of atrophic scars. Therapeutic measures are primarily aimed to restore and improve the trophism and microcirculation in lesions. Materials and methods. 26 patients with atrophic scars having various morphogenesis were taken into the trial (female - 61.5%; male - 38.5%). The median age - 33.7 ± 4.1. All patients were prescribed selective photothermolysis (3 sessions per course, in 4- week interval) and drug pharmaphoresis with placental preparation (10 sessions per course at laser therapy intervals). Results. The combined technique which includes selective laser therapy and pharmaphoresis with placenta extract preparations is highly effective in atrophic scars, as evidenced by the positive dynamics of dermatological status index and ultrasound derma scanning.
