Acne scars lead to physical and psychological problems for young adults therefore they should be treated effectively. Fractional carbon dioxide (FCL) and radiofrequency (FRFL) lasers have been both used for acne scars. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectivity and satisfaction of combined FCL and FRFL treatment for acne scars and evaluate effect of these treatments especially on atrophic scar types retrospectively. A total of 41 patients with acne scars who received FCL + FRFL were included in this study. Photographs of patients before treatment and 1 month following the last treatment session were scored by the other blinded clinician, according to the ECCA acne scar scoring method. A significant decrease was noted in clinical scores after the treatment. Side effects were minimal and acceptable. When comparing atrophic scars to erythematous ones laser treatment was more effective for atrophic types. In conclusion, our findings revealed that laser treatment with FCL + FRFL for acne scars is successful, effective and comfortable. These combination is more effective in atrophic type acne scars.
痤疮瘢痕会给年轻人带来身体和心理问题，因此应有效地进行治疗。 分 子二氧化碳（FCL）和射频（FRFL）激光器都已用于治疗痤疮瘢痕。本研究的目的是评估联合使用 FCL 和 FRFL 治疗痤疮瘢痕的有效性和满意度，并回顾性评估这些治疗方法对萎缩性瘢痕类型的影响。共有 41 例接受 FCL + FRFL 治疗的痤疮瘢痕患者纳入本研究。在最后一次治疗后 1 个月，由另一位盲法临床医生根据 ECCA 痤疮瘢痕评分方法对患者的治疗前后照片进行评分。治疗后临床评分显著下降。副作用最小且可接受。与红斑性瘢痕相比，激光治疗对萎缩性瘢痕的效果更好。总之，我们的研究结果表明，FCL + FRFL 激光治疗痤疮瘢痕是成功、有效且舒适的。这种联合治疗对萎缩性痤疮瘢痕更有效。
