Silicone Taping for the Improvement of Abdominal Donor Site Scars
This study will look at silicone tape compared to the current no dressing standard at the investigators institution, to determine if silicone tape provides a significant improvement in post-abdominoplasty scar appearance. Silicone tape will be added to half of the abdominoplasty incision of patients undergoing abdominally-based breast reconstruction procedures two …
Impact of Suture Type on Pigment Disturbances in Patients of Skin of Color
The present study assesses if dissolvable (fast gut) or non-dissolvable (polypropylene) epidermal sutures produce better cosmetic results in terms of dyspigmentation and scarring in patients of skin of color. Through a split-wound study design, patients undergoing standard elliptical excisions at least 3 cm in length will receive each suture type. …
Post-surgical Scars After the Use of CACIPLIQ20
Following surgical procedures or injury, cutaneous scars can develop due to production of collagen-rich connective tissue. These scars may be accompanied by redness, itching, pain, and restricted mobility of the skin. Typically, after a few weeks, the scar matures, becoming lighter and narrower, although full maturation of a scar may …
Tissue-engineered Skin Graft Repair of Autologous Scar Dermal Scaffolds
Hypertrophic scar is an inevitable outcome of wound repair. It affects the appearance and some scar contracture often leads to joint dysfunction.Patients have low quality of life, long treatment cycle, heavy social burden and high medical costs.Skin grafting is currently the gold standard for scar repair.However, there are often insufficient …
Microneedling vs Dermabrasion for Early Facial Scar Resurfacing
This study aims to determine whether microneedling or dermabrasion in the early post-operative period is superior in improving the appearance of surgical scars on the face.
Autologous Nanofat Grafting by Injection Versus With Microneedling in Post-burn and Traumatic Atrophic Scars
This study aims to evaluate the efficiency autologous nanofat injection versus autologous nanofat delivered by microneedling in management of post burn atrophic and traumatic scars.
The Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in Postsurgical Scars Especially After Abdominplasty and Breast Reduction.
Scars can be caused by physical trauma, surgical incisions, burn injuries and even acne. Deep cutaneous injuries induce pathological scars. Other factors, such as mechanical loading, bacterial colonization are potential factors thought to underlie human hypertrophic and keloid scar formation or contractures. The effect may include functional impairment and aesthetic …
Infrared LED Lighting Application and Wound Healing
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a commonly used procedural procedure for removal of the gallbladder. Following this healing, wound healing, scar formation and scar tissue formation are critical factors in the healing process. The development of painless, noninvasive, biophysical therapeutic interventions has become the focus of current biomedical research. In recent years, …
Microneedling With Regular Insulin Versus Microneedling Alone in Treatment of Atrophic Scars
Recently, few studies have attempted to test the regenerative effects of human insulin application by microneedling on atrophic scars versus other topical preparations. However, the scars were limited etiologically to acne scars. In addition, a lack of inclusion of a control group instead of comparing topical preparations with insulin was …
Abdominal Scar Improvement in Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction
Microsurgical breast reconstruction is most commonly performed with free abdominal flaps, which leave a long transverse lower abdominal scar. Due to tension across the incision, these scars frequently widen and hypertrophy. Hence, modalities that can reduce this tendency, thus, improving scar appearance are desirable. Here, we wish to investigate the …
