Clinical Scorecard: Evaluation of the Clinical Effectiveness of Topical Hyaluronic Acid for Enhancing Skin Healing and Mitigating Inflammatory Responses Following Fractional Laser Therapy

At a Glance

Key Highlights

• Topical hyaluronic acid significantly shortened erythema disappearance and scab shedding times.
• Lower serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were observed in the HA group.
• Improved skin moisture content and reduced transepidermal water loss in the HA group.
• No significant differences in blood routine, liver/kidney function, or adverse reactions between groups.
• Hyaluronic acid is an independent favorable factor for skin recovery.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

• Monitor skin recovery indicators post-fractional laser therapy.

Management

• Incorporate topical hyaluronic acid in postoperative care to enhance recovery.

Monitoring & Follow-up

• Assess inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α) and skin barrier function indicators.

Risks

• Potential for erythema, edema, and other adverse reactions post-laser therapy.

Patient & Prescribing Data

113 patients who underwent fractional laser treatment.

Topical hyaluronic acid dressings improve skin recovery and reduce inflammatory responses.

Clinical Best Practices

• Utilize high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid for anti-inflammatory effects.
• Monitor patient-reported outcomes such as pain and skin condition.
• Ensure comprehensive postoperative care including hydration and barrier function assessment.
