Both groups will be follow-up for 3 and 6 month afther treatment, a blind observer will assess the application of the validated scale (VHIS, VHI), and the investigators will do the FSD, symptom record, maturation index, follow-up photography and evaluation of adverse events and treatment compliance and adherence.
