Injectable polynucleotide therapy shows promise for improving postoperative wound healing and scar quality in aesthetic procedures. This adjunctive treatment demonstrated safety and efficacy in a small case series, suggesting early intervention may yield optimal results.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic medicine
- Regenerative medicine
- Dermatology
Background:
- Postoperative wound complications like delayed healing and scarring are common after aesthetic procedures.
- Patients with compromised microcirculation or comorbidities face higher risks of wound issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical utility of injectable polynucleotide as a supplementary treatment for wound healing and scar management post-aesthetic procedures.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective case series of eight patients with significant wound healing delays or scarring.
- Treatment involved individualized injectable polynucleotide (Rejuran) sessions over 2-3 week intervals.
- Outcomes assessed via clinical photography and physician ratings of wound and scar characteristics.
Main Results:
- All patients experienced clinical improvements, including enhanced re-epithelialization, reduced erythema, and scar flattening.
- Improved contour and complete wound closure were observed in treated patients.
- No adverse events were reported, indicating a favorable safety profile.
Conclusions:
- Injectable polynucleotide therapy is a safe and effective adjunct for postoperative wound care and scar modulation in aesthetic practice.
- Early application, particularly during the inflammatory phase, may enhance outcomes.
- Further prospective studies with standardized measures are recommended to validate findings.
