title: [Micro-plasma radio frequency treatment for facial post-burn hyperpigmentation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the clinical effect of micro-plasma radio frequency treatment of facial post-burn hyperpigmentation.
  
  
  METHODS
  From June 2012 to August 2013, a total of 25 cases with facial post-burn hyperpigmentation were treated with micro-plasma treatment for 3-5 times. The roller tip was used with setting of 60-90 watts and 3-4 passes were performed in different directions. Treatments were repeated at an interval of 8 weeks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All patients tolerated the pain. After treatment, the facial hyperpigmentation improved. Complete recovery was achieved in 4 cases; significant improvement in 11 cases; moderate in 7 cases and no effect in 3 cases. No hyperpigmentation, depigmentation and scar formation was observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Micro-plasma radio frequency treatment is an ideal treatment for post-burn hyperpigmentation with lower side effect.
