Qualitative grading of mucin production after treatment.
| Energy | Imm | 1 d | 3 d | 1 wk | 1 mo | 3 mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test level | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | + | + |
| 2/2 passes | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ++ | ++ |
| 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ++ | ++ |
| 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ++ | ++ |
Imm = immediately before abdominoplasty, d = day, wk = week, mo = month, 0 = no significant staining detected, + = minimally positive staining, and ++ = moderately positive, compared to nontreated site.
