Hyaluronic acid is being used for the treatment of wrinkles or folds in
the aesthetic field. This product is also used for depressive scars. As
the underlying subcutaneous scar causes the epidermis to contract, prior
to treatment, the contracture needs to be released with a needle that is
then used for injection. However, depressive scar is not a common
condition in scar treatment. Therefore, the opportunity to treat them is
few. In this article, the author proposed the application of hyaluronic
acid for the treatment of post-operative scar or deformity of cleft lip
patients. As the hyaluronic acid injection requires that the patient has
no down-time, it is suitable to treat the adult patients so that they do
not leave the hospital. Hyaluronic acid injection can reconstruct the
philtrum ridge, and even labial tubercle. In this article, two cases are
presented to examine the efficacy of hyaluronic acid for the treatment
of scars. |
