Abstract

Laser treatment of facial scars cannot substitute for optimal initial repair. Nonetheless, laser treatments may serve as valuable adjunct interventions after initial wound healing. Proper classification of scars into atrophic, hypertrophic, and keloid categories enables the appropriate selection of laser modality.
