Ablative fractional laser treatment for hypertrophic scars: comparison between Er:YAG and CO2 fractional lasers.
Nonablative fractional photothermolysis has been reported to show early promise in the treatment of hypertrophic scars, but there are few reports on ablative fractional photothermolysis for the treatment of hypertrophic scars. ⋯ CO2FL is a potentially effective and safe modality for the treatment of hypertrophic scars, particularly in terms of pliability.
