Seeking Help

AbstractMultiple studies on the use of different wave lengths for the improvement of hypertrophic scars and keloids have been published over recent years. To date, most data and experience exist regarding the use of vascular lasers (pulsed-dye-laser, PDL; Neodym-YAG, Nd:YAG), intense pulsed light (IPL), and fractional (ablative) lasers. However, with growing awareness in this area, an increasing number of patients are seeking help for the amelioration of pigmentary changes associated with existing scars or for postinflammatory hyperpigmentation resulting from previous therapies. Here, we present a female patient in her early 20s, who suffered from a deep dermal burn with a resulting hypertrophic scar on her left lower leg, which showed distinct hypertrophy as well as significant hyperpigmentation.
