Article Synopsis
- Laser treatments, specifically CO fractional ablative laser scar revision, have been studied for their effectiveness in reducing hyperpigmentation in scars across different skin types using both qualitative (POSAS and VSS) and quantitative (melanin index) measures.
- A cohort of 63 patients, all of whom had multiple laser sessions, was analyzed to assess changes in pigmentation and other demographic variables like age, gender, and ethnicity.
- Preliminary results indicate most patients experienced a decrease in hyperpigmentation, but detailed outcomes and statistics will need further investigation to fully understand treatment effectiveness.
