Acne vulgaris affects up to 80% of people 11 to 30 years of age, and scarring can occur for up to 95% of these patients. Scarring may be pitted or hypertrophic in nature, although in most cases it is atrophic. Atrophic acne scarring follows dermal collagen and fat loss after moderate to severe acne infection. Injectable poly-L-acid (PLLA) is a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic polymer device that is hypothesized to enhance dermal volume via the endogenous production of fibroblasts and, subsequently, collagen. The gradual improvements in cutaneous volume observed after treatment with injectable PLLA have been noted to last up to 2 years. The case studies presented describe the use of injectable PLLA to correct dermal fat loss in macular atrophic acne scarring of the cheeks. Two female patients underwent three treatment sessions with injectable PLLA over a 12-week period. At each treatment session, the reconstituted product was injected into the deep dermis under the depressed portion of the scar. Both patients were extremely pleased with their results at, respectively, 1- and 4-year follow-up evaluations. Patients experienced minimal swelling and redness after injection and no product-related adverse events such as papule and/or nodule formation. The author believes these data suggest that injectable PLLA is a good treatment option for the correction of macular atropic scarring with thin dermis (off-label use), particularly compared with other injectable fillers currently used for this indication that have shorter durations of effect.
寻常痤疮影响多达80%的11至30岁人群,其中高达95%的患者可能会出现瘢痕形成。瘢痕在本质上可能是凹陷性或增生性的,不过在大多数情况下是萎缩性的。萎缩性痤疮瘢痕是在中度至重度痤疮感染后真皮胶原蛋白和脂肪流失所致。可注射聚左旋乳酸(PLLA)是一种生物相容性、可生物降解的合成聚合物装置,据推测它可通过内源性产生成纤维细胞以及随后产生胶原蛋白来增加真皮容积。使用可注射PLLA治疗后观察到的皮肤容积的逐渐改善可持续长达2年。所呈现的病例研究描述了使用可注射PLLA来纠正脸颊部斑状萎缩性痤疮瘢痕中的真皮脂肪流失。两名女性患者在12周内接受了三次可注射PLLA治疗。在每次治疗时,将复溶后的产品注射到瘢痕凹陷部分下方的真皮深层。在分别为期1年和4年的随访评估中,两名患者对其治疗效果都极为满意。患者注射后肿胀和发红轻微,未出现与产品相关的不良事件,如丘疹和/或结节形成。作者认为,这些数据表明可注射PLLA是纠正薄真皮斑状萎缩性瘢痕(非适应证用药)的一种良好治疗选择,特别是与目前用于该适应证的其他可注射填充剂相比,其效果持续时间更长。
