EVALUATING THE RESULTS OF TREATING MODERATE AND SEVERE CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE OF THE PILOSEBACEOUS UNIT AT CAN THO DERMATOLOGY HOSPITAL IN 2023-2024
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit. Moderate and severe acne vulgaris often leaves skin lesions, reduces aesthetics, and affects the physical and mental health of the patient. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) uses a combined light source with a broad spectrum and high intensity, which has been proven to be a safe treatment method for acne vulgaris with few side effects. Research on patient satisfaction and treatment results for moderate and severe acne vulgaris is extremely urgent. Objective: Evaluating the results of treating moderate and severe acne vulgaris with IPL at Can Tho Dermatology Hospital in 2023-2024. Materials and methods: Descriptive study of case series on 36 patients with moderate and severe acne vulgaris treated at Can Tho Dermatology Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. Results: There was a clinical improvement in the severity of acne vulgaris. The rate of successful acne vulgaris treatment was 86.1%. Acne vulgaris treatment with IPL is safe. Unwanted effects such as redness, pain, and burning are rare (less than 30%) and are mild, that can resolve on their own without intervention. Conclusion: Treatment of moderate and severe acne vulgaris with IPL has a high patient satisfaction rate and fairly high treatment success rate, safe for patients and reduced anxiety.
