Summary

A new era of outcomes for pediatric burn patients has begun as burn care continues to improve. Unfortunately, complete restoration of burn-injured skin may be limited by the development of hypertrophic scarring. Treatment with laser therapy is one of the newest forms of scar therapy available. Although laser therapy has only been adopted by burn clinicians within the last several years, early evidence suggests that it may offer significant benefits. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using laser therapy to treat hypertrophic burn scars in pediatric patients by using a comprehensive set of subjective and objective scar assessment tools.
