Abstract

|
Pulsed dye laser(PDL) is originally designed for the treatment of vascular lesions but also effective in improving the quality and appearance of surgical scars. Recently, 595nm Pulsed dye laser(V-beam laser), which has the advantage of deeper tissue penetration and lesser amount of purpura, is spotlighted as a new option for the treatment of surgical scar. The authors treated a surgical scar of a female patient with V-beam laser for 3 times between 4 and 12 weeks after surgery. Subjective satisfaction was improved with visual analogue scale (VAS) and objective improvements were found in parameters of vascularity, pliability and height with Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS). We report the effectiveness of V-beam laser in surgical scar of Asian patient and plan the prospective study with larger scale.
