Ibrahim SM, et al. - Researchers studied 27 Egyptian individuals to estimate the effectiveness and safety of early treatment of postsurgical scar by fractional ablative CO₂ laser. The candidates were given 3 sessions of fractional CO₂ laser with a 1-month interval, 4 weeks after surgery. They assessed the progress with Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) at 1 and 3 months after the definitive treatment. They observed positive changes in parameters like pigmentation, height, and pliability of the scar. They observed a greater degree of satisfaction by the candidates after laser treatment when subjects were assessed with the patient’s subjective satisfaction scores.
