22 of 25 participants completed the study, and were followed up for 6-12 months. After three to five treatments, evaluation by patients showed that the total effective rate was 90.91%. Evaluation by two physicians showed that the total effective rate was 86.36%. Treatment was well tolerated by all participants. The total duration of side effects was 6.7 ± 1.7 days of edema, 8.1 ± 2.3 days of erythema,6.5 ± 1.8 days of crusting, respectively. No hyperpigmentation, depigmentation, and worsening of scarring were observed by the conclusion of the follow-up period. Conclusion: These results provide initial evidence for the safety and effectiveness of PCRT as a well-tolerated modality for the treatment of acne scars. PCRT is an ideal treatment for facial acne scars with minimal side effect..
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.
