Experimental comparative study of the effect of fractional CO laser combined with pulsed dye laser versus each laser alone on the treatment of hypertrophic scar of rabbit ears.
Abstract
The use of fractional CO laser and pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy to treat and/or prevent scarring following burn injury is becoming more widespread with a number of studies reporting reduction in scar erythema and pruritus following treatment with lasers. The objective of this study was to directly compare the efficacy of PDL, fractional CO , and PDL and fractional CO laser therapy in immature red hypertrophic scars in a standardized animal model.
