Treatment of Atrophic Facial Scars Using Polydioxanone Threads: A Case Series

The appearance of scars affects patients' aesthetic and psychological aspects, as atrophic scars can result from previous surgeries or inflammatory/infectious conditions. Recently, non-surgical techniques have been introduced to improve scar appearance and enhance patient satisfaction. To our knowledge, there has been limited published medical research evaluating the effectiveness of polydioxanone threads in managing facial scars. This report aims to present three cases where scars were managed using these materials in the facial area with a follow-up of six months post-intervention. Based on the three presented cases, it is shown that there was an improvement in the color and texture of the scar, in addition to its reduced size with no sensation of pain or itching after the procedure. These findings suggest that the materials used are promising for effectively treating facial scars.
