Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Wound healing. Timepoint: On 1, 7, 13, 20, and 30 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Digital photography.;Would healing time. Timepoint: On 1, 7, 13, 20, and 30 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Calendar.;The amount of pain. Timepoint: On 1, 7, 13, 20, and 30 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Observation of the patient during examination, questionnaire visual analogue scale.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Scar formation. Timepoint: A questionnaire will be given on days 1, 7, 13, 20, and 30 after treatment, and gene expression evaluation will be performed before the intervention and after wound healing. Method of measurement: The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale questionnaire, Transforming growth factor beta, and Vascular endothelial growth factor gene expression to evaluate scar formation.;Infection. Timepoint: On days 1, 7, 13, 20 and 30 after treatment. Method of measurement: Observation of the patient during the examination. If signs of infection are observed, a sample will be taken for microbial culture, and the type of infectious agent and the number of microbial colonies will be determined.
