摘要Background:Scar quality is affected by patients'wound healing conditions,trauma type,and skin features that differ due to ethnicity.Despite tremendous improvements in scar remodeling techniques,conspicuous scars can still remain postoperatively.Non-surgical methods used for handling scars include the use of topical corticoste-roids,pressure therapy,lasers,and platelet-rich plasma(PRP).This study aimed to assess and evaluate different non-surgical modalities for treating immature facial scars.Methods:Fifteen patients with scars were included for non-surgical management.They received one or more of 5 treatments:corticosteroid injection,topical silicone gel application with or without bandage,pressure therapy,lasers,or PRP injection.Scars were assessed using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale(POSAS)and serial photographs.Results:There were no significant differences in the results obtained using POSAS.None of the patients required a secondary intervention or sought a second opinion.The rate of complications associated with the treatments were very minor.Conclusion:Good assessment of patient characteristics,proper planning,and appropriate treatment lead to favorable outcomes.
