Argon and C02 lasers have been used to treat 13 patients with well-established keloid scars of the trunk or earlobe. Multiple-bore-hole argon technique and total excision with the C02 laser were attempted. One patient with an earlobe keloid responded to treatment, all other patients had no improveme

โฆ Synopsis
Laser physiology has shown that while wound healing is generally excellent after laser impaction, it nevertheless is delayed. It is thought that this factor may be important in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. These scars have been treated in a variety of ways with the laser, and the results, which have been good, are reported. A possible explanation of the complex mode of action has been given. It is thought that more work should be undertaken in this field.

A report is given on the treatment of keloids and hypertrofic scars using an argon laser. Of the 45 patients who participated, only three patients had a diminishing of over 50%, and 40 patients were classified as obtaining slight improvement, which means a diminishing of between 20 and 50% of the or
## Background: Ablative fractional carbon dioxide (co(2)) laser treatments have gained popularity due to their efficacy, shortened downtime, and decreased potential for scarring in comparison to traditional ablative co(2) resurfacing. to date, scarring with fractional co(2) lasers has not been repo
