Abstract

Objectives: Examining the use of dermal threads for acne scar therapy and comparing their safety and effectiveness. Background: Approximately 12–14% of acne instances continue into adulthood, and it affects 95–100% of 16–17-year-old males and 83–85% of 16–17-year-old girls. The psychological anguish and potential social inhibition caused by scarring increases in proportion to the severity of the scarring, making it an already heavy weight to bear. The three primary forms of acne scars may be classified by the net loss or growth of collagen: atrophic, hypertrophic, and keloidal. Treatment options for acne scars differ based on the severity of the scars and the limits of available treatments. The face lift procedure makes use of a variety of thread types chosen for their ability to stimulate collagen production. Longevity and collagen production are two advantages of smooth polydioxanone (PDO) threads over their counterparts. Study selection: The inclusion of all research was determined by separate evaluations. Inclusion was contingent upon them meeting the following requirements: Written in English and published in scholarly publications, these articles explore the use of dermal threads as a remedy for acne scars. Data extraction: Research was not considered for inclusion if it did not meet certain requirements. The study's quality was evaluated based on a number of factors, such as the following: the availability of acceptable controls, sufficient information, clearly defined evaluation measures. Conclusion: In addition to improving the appearance of boxcar and rolling scars, dermal threads were well-tolerated.
