Retrospective Clinical Study Series by Frank Agullo, MD, FACS
Three years ago, Dr. Frank Agullo transitioned to nano-polished blades to enhance healing and reduce scarring, supported by a retrospective study he conducted. This technology has proven especially effective for his patient population, 75% of whom have Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V, or VI and are at higher risk for keloid and hypertrophic scarring. With expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Agullo integrates advanced surgical techniques to deliver precise, tailored outcomes.
Outcomes
- 86% reduction in hypertrophic scarring at greater than 95% confidence level (p=0.029).
- Patient populations showed no significant statistical differences (p>0.05) in ethnicity, age, gender, smoking or comorbidities.
- Hypertrophic scar occurrence rate of 1.8% with nano-polished blade (1 of 57) vs. 12.3% with conventional blade (7 of 57).
