Abstract

Numerous revision procedures such as surgical excision, intralesional steroid injection, cryotherapy, dermabrasion, soft tissue augmentation, chemical peeling and laser therapy are available for the correction of various types of scars. Erbium:YAG lasers are successfully used to treat a variety of epidermal and dermal lesions, including rhytides, dyschromias, and certain types of scar. Recently we came across the usage of Erbium :YAG laser for the management of scar following the harvest of STSG.
