Overview

This study plans to select 100 AV patients and randomly divide them into two groups in a 1:1 ratio: the experimental group will be treated with MRF combined with oral isotretinoic acid for 8 consecutive weeks, with a total of 3 MRF treatments at weeks 1, 4, and 8. The control group received oral administration of isotretinoic acid alone for 8 weeks. The main observation indicators are the percentage of effective skin injury clearance achieved by subjects at week 20, as well as the change in ECCA acne scar score compared to baseline at week 20. I hope this study can clarify that the combination therapy of the two can achieve the effects of improving efficacy, shortening treatment course, reducing recurrence, not increasing adverse reactions, and reducing the risk of scar formation.

Fasting blood glucose is greater than the upper limit of normal values; 2) Creatine kinase is greater than or equal to twice the upper limit of normal value; 3) Liver function (AST or ALT) greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal value; 4) Creatinine is higher than the upper limit of normal value; 5) Female pregnancy test positive; 6) Abnormal ECG examination has clinical significance.

9. Subjects who have used any of the following drugs before enrollment in the study, or who are currently using these drugs and have not completed the washout period as required below: Note: The washout period should be calculated from the expected randomization date (day 0).
