Background: Laser technology provides different solutions for scar treatment from the traditional ablative lasers to the more recent fractional devices.
Patients And Methods: We present the case of a young woman treated for scars induced by severe whipping since the age of 10. She received four monthly nonablative fractional 1550 nm erbium glass laser treatments. Fluence used was 20 mJ/cm with 1500 microthermal zones/cm.
Results: Significant improvement was documented in the color and texture of the lesion at the end of treatment and at follow-up. Treatment had no major side effects and was well tolerated.
Conclusions: We believe that nonablative fractional lasers, used mainly for cosmetic purposes, may be useful in managing post-traumatic scars as well.

Background: The use of non-ablative fractionated lasers for skin rejuvenation has been proven to be effective in improving skin texture, and has become popular due to minimal wounding, significantly shorter recovery times and decreased adverse effects.
Objective: To retrospectively analyze improvement in skin texture in healthy women aged over 18 years with Fitzpatrick skin type II-IV.
Methods: Participants received 3 facial and/or neck treatments with the 1570-nm fractional scanning diode laser at one-month intervals.
Background: Acne scarring can have a detrimental impact on quality of life, making early and effective treatment essential. Lasers and energy-based treatment are the preferred treatment modality, yet a clear consensus on the ideal laser selection is lacking in the literature.
Aims: This review article aims to describe the therapeutic potential of lasers for acne scarring with a focus on clinical trials involving atrophic facial acne scars.

Background: Isotretinoin is widely used for moderate to severe acne vulgaris. Despite its broad application, isotretinoin carries a risk of permanent scarring and keloid formation following various skin procedures. As a result, a delay of at least 6-12 months after completing or discontinuing isotretinoin treatment is commonly recommended before undergoing skin procedures.

Non-surgical rejuvenation of the periorbital area is becoming increasingly popular given the downtime and risks associated with surgical procedures. Dermabrasion and chemical peels were first used along with neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Over the past few decades, laser treatments have emerged as the gold standard for periorbital skin resurfacing.

Keratinocyte carcinoma is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Often treated by surgical excision, electrodessication and curettage, or Mohs surgery, treatment can frequently leave patients with a scar and can be time consuming and inconvenient for both patients and healthcare providers. Utilizing non-ablative fractional laser therapy followed by tirbanibulin ointment, we treated 30 basal and/or squamous cell carcinomas on 23 patients over the age of 50 with varying skin types.
