Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fractional laser treatment

A complete treatment will consist in four laser sessions with a second-generation erbium-doped 1,550-nm fractional photothermolysis laser (Fraxel SR laser, Reliant Technologies Inc at 1-month intervals. Treatment will be delivered with a 15-mm tip and concomitant air-cooling system (Zimmer MedizinSystems, Irvine, CA). Fluence and treatment level will be registered on every session and will be adjusted according to patient tolerance.

PROCEDURE

Standard scar management

The standard treated scar arm consists of a similar lesion in an equivalent location in the same patient or the half of a lesion that is suitable to be divided (size at least 4% body surface area). This arm will be managed only with standard burn treatment modalities.
