Abstract
|
|
|
Burn injury is one of the most common complications associated with laser procedure. A 38-year-old woman underwent laser procedure for skin rejuvenation on her neck at a local aesthetic clinic. At that time, the cooling system installed in the laser machine was out of order without known origin. The patient complained of pain during the procedure, but it was neglected. It resulted in 3rd-degree burn involving the subcutaneous fatty layer on her neck. On the fifth day after injury, early debridement and advancement flap was done under local anesthesia. After 7 days postoperatively, total stitch out was done and a 6cm-length linear and transverse scar remained. When deep dermal injury occurs, it will take a long time to heal on its own. Early debridement and advancement flap will be helpful to prevent wide burn scar.
