Currently, dermatologists have various techniques for the correction of postacne scars: from minimally invasive hydroxy acid peels to surgical excision of scar tissue. One of the most effective, affordable, and at the same time minimally invasive and safe treatment methods is microneedling ― micro-damage of the skin with thin needles in the lesion area, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.</p> <p><italic><bold>AIM</bold>: </italic>to study the efficacy and safety of transdermal redermalization with microneedling using high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate in patients with atrophic postacne scars of varying severity.</p> <p><bold><italic>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</italic></bold> A prospective study was carried out at the Clinic of Skin and Venereal Diseases of the Sechenov University. A. Rakhmanov, Sechenov University, with the participation of 80 patients with postacne scars of varying severity. The Hyalual Perfoskin Complex device was used for microneedling in combination with a sodium succinate preparation based on hyaluronic acid. The apparatus was used in a linear technique along the Langer tension lines and in mutually perpendicular direction, 10–15 passes in each area (lower jaw, cheek-curve area, forehead area). Each subject underwent 4 treatments at 21-day intervals. Clinical assessment of the treatment dynamics before and after treatment was performed using the Miravex 3D multispectral imaging device. Before and after treatment, patients were evaluated for the severity of postacne scars according to the International Qualitative Scale for the classification of postacne scars, as well as a dermatological index of quality of life. Subjective evaluation of the effectiveness of therapy by the physician and the patient was performed using the International Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale one month after each treatment and 3 months after the last treatment.</p> <p><bold><italic>RESULTS:</italic></bold> Among the 80 patients, 47 women and 33 men aged 18 to 46 years had atrophic postacne scars of varying severity: I in 9, II in 26, III in 40, and IV in 5 patients; the rashes were most often localized to the cheek-cusp (55; 69%) and forehead (15; 19%) and were represented by U-shaped (35; 44%), V-shaped (17; 21%), M-shaped (19; 24%) and macular (9; 11%) patterns. The duration of the disease averaged 5.3±3.2 years. Improvement of the clinical picture was observed in 92.5% of cases after treatment. For example, 8 patients with I degree of scarring managed to achieve complete clearing of the skin; out of 26 patients with II degree of scarring, 15 patients achieved I degree of severity and 10 patients experienced clinical remission at the end of treatment; in the group of patients with III degree of scarring (n=40), 18 patients had I degree of severity, 20 patients had II degree of severity; in the group of patients with IV degree of severity after 4 treatments, 2 patients had III degree of severity and 1 patient had II degree of severity. The dermatological quality of life index decreased by 77% on the average: from 18.63±2.28 to 4.25±3.16. The final result was considered "optimal aesthetic result" by doctors and patients in 86% and 82% of cases, respectively, "significant improvement" in 4% and 12% of cases, respectively, "improvement" in 2.5% and 4% of cases, respectively, and "no change" in 7.5% and 2%, respectively. All patients noted good tolerability of treatment. Thus, side effects in the form of skin redness and painful sensations were insignificant and passed on their own within 2–3 days after the procedure.</p> <p><bold><italic>CONCLUSION:</italic></bold> Microneedling with high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid and sodium succinate has demonstrated high efficacy and safety in the treatment of postacne scars of varying severity. The minimal invasiveness and affordability of the procedure result in high patient adherence to therapy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Вульгарные акне ― хроническое воспалительное заболевание кожи мультифакториальной природы, поражающее более 80% подростков и входящее в топ-10 наиболее распространённых болезней в мире. В настоящее время для коррекции рубцов постакне в арсенале дерматологов имеются различные методики ― от малотравматичных пилингов гидроксикислотами до хирургической эксцизии рубцовой ткани.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> ― оценить эффективность и безопасность трансдермальной редермализации методом микронидлинга с использованием комплекса сукцината натрия с высокомолекулярной гиалуроновой кислотой в коррекции атрофических рубцов постакне разной степени тяжести.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.</bold> Проведено проспективное одноцентровое исследование с участием 80 пациентов с рубцами постакне различной степени тяжести. Для процедуры микронидлинга использовали одноразовые стерильные аппараты Perfoskin Complex (Перфоскин Комплекс) и препарат сукцинат натрия на основе высокостабилизированной гиалуроновой кислоты. Методика представляет собой трансдермальную редермализацию по линиям натяжения Лангера в линейной технике и во взаимно перпендикулярном направлении (нижняя челюсть, щёчно-скуловая область, область лба, по 10–15 проходов на каждом участке). Каждому пациенту с рубцами постакне проведено по 4 процедуры с интервалом 21 день.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> В исследование включено 80 пациентов, из них 47 женщин и 33 мужчины в возрасте от 18 до 46 лет с атрофическими рубцами постакне различной степени тяжести (I ― у 9, II ― у 26, III ― у 40, IV ― у 5); высыпания чаще имели локализацию в щёчно-скуловой зоне (у 55; 69%), зоне лба (у 15; 19%) и были представлены U- (у 35; 44%), V- (у 17; 21%), M-образными (у 19; 24%) и макулярными (у 9; 11%) паттернами. Длительность заболевания в среднем составляла 5,3±3,2 года. В результате лечения улучшение клинической картины наблюдалось в 92,5% случаев. Дерматологический индекс качества жизни в среднем снизился на 77% (с 18,63±2,28 до 4,25±3,16). Все пациенты отмечали хорошую переносимость лечения; умеренная локальная гиперемия кожи и незначительные ощущения покалывания после процедуры проходили самостоятельно в течение нескольких дней и не требовали реабилитации.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Процедура трансдермальной редермализации методом микронидлинга с использованием сукцината натрия в комплексе с высокомолекулярной гиалуроновой кислотой у пациентов с атрофическими рубцами постакне разной степени тяжести продемонстрировала высокую эффективность и безопасность в лечении рубцов постакне различной степени тяжести. Минимальная инвазивность, отсутствие реабилитационного периода и экономическая доступность процедуры обусловливает высокую приверженность пациентов к этому методу терапии рубцов постакне.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>postacne scars</kwd><kwd>transdermal redermalization</kwd><kwd>sodium succinate</kwd><kwd>microneedling</kwd><kwd>treatment</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рубцы акнеассоциированные</kwd><kwd>постакне</kwd><kwd>трансдермальная редермализация</kwd><kwd>сукцинат натрия</kwd><kwd>микронидлинг</kwd><kwd>лечение</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Heng AH, Chew FT.
