Abstract: Objective To observe the efficacy of Aescuven forte in mitigating the skin turgor after Er:YAG laser treatment. Methods A total number of 64 patients who underwent twice 2 940 nm Er:YAG laser dot-matrix therapy was included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into control group and experimental group (oral administration of Aescuven forte 300 mg bid after therapy) at the first time of laser treatment. Follow-up was performed for a week after treatment and skin swelling was scored. Results The extent of skin swelling in experimental group was significantly lower than the control group on the day 1,2,3 and 5 after laser treatment(P<0.001). Skin swelling was remarkably subsided on day 6 in both groups and showed no difference between two groups. Conclusions Aescuven forte can significantly reduce skin swelling after 2 940 nm Er:YAG laser dot-matrix therapy in patients with facial acne scars.
