Comparison of PDO Screw Threads and Fractional CO2 Laser for Acne Scars
Study Overview
This study focuses on treating atrophic acne scars, which are difficult to manage. We compared two methods: subcision with PDO screw threads and subcision with fractional CO₂ laser. Both methods were tested on 40 patients to see which one worked better and which one patients preferred.
Key Findings
- Group A: Patients received subcision with PDO screw threads.
- Group B: Patients received subcision followed by fractional CO₂ laser.
- Both groups showed significant improvement in scar appearance.
- Group B had a greater reduction in scar severity and depth.
- Group A had faster recovery with less downtime.
- Group B reported higher satisfaction with their results.
Practical Solutions
Choosing between these treatments can depend on individual patient needs and preferences:
- If faster recovery is important, consider PDO screw threads.
- If long-term scar improvement is the goal, fractional CO₂ laser may be better.
