No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment of a fresh wound at the time of surgery, decreases scar formation. Scar revision is commonly done at 6-10 weeks following surgery. Therefore, it may be more beneficial, for both the patient and physician, to perform scar revision at the time of surgery.
