Abstract

To observe the clinical effect and safety of silk fibroin dressing for patients after Q-switched laser treatment for facial freckles. A total of 82 patients with facial freckles were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=41) and a control group (n=41). After the Q-switched laser surgery, the treatment group used silk fibroin dressing (Fuxiang Sitai Medical Technology), and the control group used traditional ice compress. The results showed that the pain duration (3.88 ± 1.15 days vs 4.62 ± 0.82 days), erythema duration (5.83 ± 1.03 days vs 6.79 ± 0.93 days), and scab shedding time (6.97 ± 0.72 days vs 8.12 ± 0.99 days) in the treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). At the same time, the patient satisfaction rate in the treatment group was 97.56%, which was significantly higher than 78.05% in the control group (P < 0.05). The adverse reaction rate in the treatment group was 4.88%, which was significantly lower than 19.51% in the control group (x² = 8.607, P < 0.05). In conclusion, the application of silk fibroin dressing can speed up skin healing, reduce adverse reactions, and improve patient satisfaction after Q-switched laser surgery.
