Abstract

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are fibroproliferative disorders in the reticular dermis layer: this layer exhibits continuous inflammation, excessive angiogenesis, and abundant collagen accumulation.Scars can be prevented and managed in a variety of ways. Scar massage with emollients, compression garments, intralesional steroids, surgical scar revision, and laser therapy are all common scar treatment techniques. In this article, we are applying the updated 2020 algorithm for treatment and prevention of scar in our subject. Keywords: Scar; Algorithm; Laser.
