Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser in Patients with Skin Phototypes III to VI and Facial Burn Sequelae: 1-Year Follow-Up

摘要

Background: Fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment in postburn scars is safe and effective, but high rates of hypochromia (35 percent) have been described in patients with skin phototypes V and VI after 2 months. The authors militated the efficacy and safety of fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment of burn scars in skin phototypes III to VI after 1 year, focusing on the incidence of hypochromia.
