Randomized Controlled Trial
Non-ablative fractional laser provides long-term improvement of mature burn scars--a randomized controlled trial with histological assessment.
Non-ablative fractional laser-treatment is evolving for burn scars. The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical and histological long-term outcome of 1,540 nm fractional Erbium: Glass laser, targeting superficial, and deep components of mature burn scars. ⋯ Combined superficial and deep non-ablative fractional laser-treatments induce long-term clinical and histological improvement of mature burn scars.
