Randomized Controlled Trial
Moist exposed burn therapy in recovery of patients with immature, red hypertrophic scars successfully treated with a pulsed dye laser in combination with a fractional CO2 laser.
The efficacy of pulsed dye laser combined (PDL) and UltraPulse fractional CO2 in treatment of hypertrophic scars is well documented. The present study investigates the efficacy of moist exposed burn ointment (MEBO)/moist exposed burn therapy (MEBT) in postlaser wound management. ⋯ MEBT/MEBO treatment reduced the post-treatment pain, shortened the wound healing duration, promoted the overall scar condition, and reduced the incidence of pigmentation.

Comparative Study
Clinical experience on follicular unit extraction megasession for severe androgenetic alopecia.
Severe androgenetic alopecia has significant impact on patients' self-image and emotional health. As the most advanced way to achieve the growth of a full head of hair in shortest period of time, the megasession hair transplant procedure is a promising treatment for severe androgenetic alopecia. ⋯ Compared with multi-stage hair transplantation, FUE megasession has the advantages of reducing operation frequency and overall surgery duration. Thus, FUE megasession is an appealing treatment option for severe AGA patients, who expect to a more desirable natural and esthetically pleasing result in a one-stage operation.
