The stress of a single surgical intervention is to be weighed against the necessary repetitive application of multiple Botox injections. Both methods are superior to other, more radical surgical methods in terms of efficacy and complication rates. Botox and TLC lead to a significant improvement of the quality of life.
Our study represents a successful attempt to create a standardised model for a comparative investigation on keloid tissue in vivo. The effect of colchicine was demonstrated in the light of an inhibitory effect on fibroblastic proliferative activity. The studied model allows a direct comparison of implanted, vascularised keloid tissue and its reactivity to various agents without being biased by numerous unknown variables in humans.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
