Abstract:
:Contemporary studies and observations have left no doubt that occlusive dressings are superior to open treatment after laser resurfacing. The currently available occlusive dressings, however, are time-consuming to apply, often dislodge shortly after application, and most require reapplication. The authors report a cross-sectional observational study of patients who were treated with a new dual silicone-based dressing (DiamondSeal) after full-face laser resurfacing, with or without rhytidectomy. Patients who previously underwent similar surgeries and who were treated with a popular occlusive tape dressing (Flexzan) acted as historic controls. A combination of two silicones produced a gel-like silicone admixture that was spread evenly over the laser-treated areas. The silicone gel solidified into a flexible membrane and remained on the patient's face for 5 days. Questionnaires were sent to patients who were treated with the silicone dressing and those who were treated with a currently popular occlusive dressing. When the attributes of these dressings were compared, the superiority of the silicone dressing approached statistical significance ( = 0.08). The majority of patients treated with the silicone dressing (71 percent) had a positive experience with this dressing, stating they would repeat the experience if necessary. Only 54 percent of patients with a tape dressing were willing to repeat their experience ( = 0.18). The major advantages of this dressing, noted from the surgeon's perspective, were the speed with which the mask was applied; the ease of application, without the need for templates; the acceptable cure duration, allowing spontaneous contouring of the silicone along facial contours; the simple tailoring of the dressing; the reduced need for and minimal time for reapplication; and the paucity of complications.
