While the existing data provide some promising insights into the potential use of RO for the reduction of postoperative scars in human skin, more rigorously designed studies are needed further to explore the therapeutic use of RO in topical preparations.” Researchers concluded that, “RO appears to have a plausible potential mechanism of action for improving scars, appears to be safe, and has been shown to improve scars in two clinical trials. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher among the treatment group than the control group. The treatment group exhibited significantly faster healing than the control group, 7.53 ± 2.28 days compared to 11.83 ± 2.32 days ( P < .001). The rosehip extract ointment was applied every 6 hours until the emergency physician deemed the wound “healthy.” Wound healing time, patient satisfaction, and complications were the primary outcomes measured. The other group was treated with silver sulfadiazine, which is a standard treatment for burns. In another study of 60 patients treated for burns, 1 group was treated with Adibderm, an herbal ointment with rosehip extract. Atrophy was also significantly improved in the treatment group. At 12 weeks the treatment group also showed significantly lower rates of dyschromia, where 63% of the treatment group showed no signs of discoloration compared to 21% of the control group. Both measurements were taken at 6 and 12 weeks post-surgery.Īt 6 and 12 weeksthe treatment group exhibited significantly lower rates of erythema than the control group, with 73% of the treatment group showing no signs of erythema and 50% of the control group showing no signs.

The treatment group applied RO twice a day for 6 weeks. In 1 study, 108 patients who had skin tumors removed were evaluated for effectiveness of RO on scars.
