Abstract:
Traumatic scars not only affect local appearance and function, but also may be accompanied by pain, itching, and even psychological problems, which seriously affect the quality of patients′ life. The prevention and treatment of scars are still quite challengeable for plastic and cosmetic surgery. Recently, photoelectric therapy and radio-frequency technology have brought breakthroughs in the clinical prevention and treatment of traumatic scars due to the developments of theory and practice on selective photothermolysis and fractional photothermolysis. Based on the analysis and summary of experience of treatment of traumatic scars with photoelectric therapy and radiofrequency technology in the past 5 years, the experts in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, together with expert consensus on treatment of scar using laser at home and abroad, organize the experts in the field of scar management from different regions in China to discuss and write the consensus on treatment of skin traumatic scars with photoelectric therapy and radio-frequency technology (2018 version). This consensus is suitable for currently medical environment in China and aimed to provide standardized protocols for the treatment of skin traumatic scars in clinic.
