Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of acupotomy in the treatment of various facial atrophic scars except acne scars. Methods: Four patients with facial atrophic scars were treated by superficial dermal undermining with acupotomy. They were treated six times, and evaluated by comparing before and after photos, PGA(Physician's Global assessment), SESES(The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Score) and patient satisfaction. Results and Conclusions: After observing case photos, PGA, SBSES, patient's satisfaction, it can be considered that acupotomy is an effective treatment modality for facial atrophic scars and it has no significant side effects.

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of incisional needle therapy, a type of Korean medicine treatment, on atrophic scars caused by herpes zoster and varicella. Methods : The patients with atrophic scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella were treated with incisional needle therapy and the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) and The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Score (SBSES). Results : After treatment, all patients demonstrated improvements in PGA and SBSES. The PGA score improved to 3.73±0.40, with SBSES changing from 1.60±0.60 to 4.80±0.80. Conclusions : We suggest that incisional needle therapy demonstrates effectiveness in treating scars resulting from herpes zoster and varicella, indicating its potential as a viable therapeutic option for individuals affected by these conditions.

본 논문은 수두로 인한 위축성 흉터 환자 16명에 대한 새싹테라피(절개침) 시술 후 개선도를 평가하여 연구한 바를 기록하였다. 그 결과 새싹테라피는 수두 흉터에 대해 시술효과를 판단하는 척도인 PGA, SBSES에서 좋은 결과를 보였으며 환자 만족도도 3가지 항목으로 세분화하여 평가했을 때 높은 개선 점수를 보였다. 이런 임상 결과로 미루어 볼 때 새싹테라피는 수두로 인한 위축성 흉터에게 좋은 치료적 방법이 될 것으로 예상되며, 시술 중 통증 및 시술 후 붉은 기의 개선이 과제로 남기에 이에 대한 한의학적 치료법 연구가 추가로 요구되는 바이다.
