AbstractScars with flexion contracture of various origins are challenging problems which may cause not only cosmetic concerns, but also severe functional restriction. In this report, we describe a case presenting scars with flexion contracture: a 23-year-old Korean female with surgical scars on both axillae, which were treated by laser-cision (incision using carbon dioxide laser) with second intention wound healing followed by a non-ablative fractional photothermolysis system.
