Scar revision

John G Westine et al. Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2005 May.

Abstract

Classic techniques of scar revision in general are ablative and remain the gold standard, although newer nonablative laser therapies, such as the frequency-doubled neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser, can help. Ablative therapies and techniques are examined.
