Efficacy evaluation of Endolift‐based Subcision on acne scar treatment

Abstract

Background People with acne scar suffer from destruction to the surface of the skin. Treating acne scars is a challenge that might need several methods. Aims Subsection is a method that has been informed to be a useful method in treating rolling acne scars. While Subcision is a valued procedure, its effect is mild to moderate due to its high reappearance rate, and patients' dissatisfaction with some of the side effects such as inflammation after procedure. Patients/Methods In this pilot study, 9 rolling acne scar patients underwent Subcision with the Endolift (200‐nm fiber) and followed up for 3 months. Outcomes were evaluated by 3 dermatologists (Blind). Also, the patients’ satisfaction was assessed to compare with dermatologist's opinions. Results Our results indicated that Subcision with the Endolift displayed good and very good improvement in about 90% of patient with a good and very good satisfaction in the patients. Photographic data evaluation indicated 100% improvement in scar depth, topography, and total acne scar appearance. The average numbers of lesions before the treatment were 25.5 ± 12.1, and after treatment, it was reduced to 11.4 ± 2.1 (P < .05). Conclusion Subcision with the Endolift seems to be a safe and effective method for acne scar treatment. It is done with a single perforation on each side (instead of several perforations), which reduces the pain and scar risk in the patients. Also, Endolift‐based Subcision needs fewer surgical sessions and less recovery time with less inflammation and erythema.
