Abstract
FERRARO, G M et al. Combined treatment of old scars: Aesthetic and reparative results in an adolescent. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2007, vol.88, n.4, pp.206-212. ISSN 1851-300X.
Extensive scars modify the patient's life. Significant scarring causes functional and cosmetic deformities, discomfort and psychological stress. We report a teenager, who suffered from burning when she was two months old. She has been under scar treatment combining several methods such as peeling, mesotherapy, manual dermoabrasion and ultrasound. Up to now, we improved the patient's life quality, obtaining a clinical improvement, such as aesthetic and psychological one.
