[QUOTE="madman, post: 270641, member: 13851"] [B]CLINICAL CARE POINTS[/B] [I][B]*Vascular lasers and fractional lasers (ablative and non-ablative) can treat a variety of scars with success. *Be careful about laser parameters when treating scars. Treating at lower densities and higher pulse energies (depth) is safer for scars. *It is never too late to initiate laser treatment for scars, though earlier treatment is better. Lasers can be implemented as early as right after wound formation. Complete epithelialization is not necessary to initiate laser treatment of scars.

In some circumstances, such as non-hypertrophic scars, non-ablative fractional lasers may be preferred over ablative to decrease the risk of PIH.[/I] Fig. 7. Before and 6 weeks after a single fractional ablative CO2 laser treatment for a scar. Note the improved texture, color, and thickness in certain areas.
