Evaluation of Transparent Pressure Masks in Reducing Hypertrophic Scars: A Comparison Across Facial Zones
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transparent pressure masks in reducing hypertrophic scars on the face.
Conducted an evaluation of transparent pressure masks on facial burn scars.
Focused on specific facial zones: mid-forehead and bilateral zygomatic arches.
Applied masks within one month post-injury.
Transparent pressure masks significantly improve hypertrophic scars on the face.
Best results observed in the mid-forehead and zygomatic arch areas.
Abstract
Transparent pressure masks effectively improve facial burn hypertrophic scars, particularly in the mid-forehead of forehead and bilateral zygomatic arches, and can be applied within 1 month.
