“…The depth and density of the ablated microcolumns are determined by the operator, offering a unique level of control to accommodate the variable and compromised environment of scar tissue. An accumulating number of studies document consistent and significant subjective and objective improvements in scar restriction, texture, color, pliability, pain, itch, and quality of life, as well as a histopathological basis for these improvements with a relative normalization of architecture and composition . Creating a new and important niche in traumatic scar management, they offer faster and more profound improvements than existing conservative treatments such as injectables, pressure and massage, with more diffuse impact and less morbidity than invasive treatments such as surgical revision.…”

“…The incorporation of these elements into the patient arm of the POSAS created a method for standardizing the patient's subjective experience of pain and itch, and is an acknowledgment of the importance and potentially debilitating nature of these symptoms. Both have been shown to improve significantly with treatment across vascular and AFL platforms .…”

“…This coincides with the findings of Issler-Fisher et al which showed significant improvement in VSS and pain and pruritus scores after a single AFL treatment. 19 Our case series also had patients of higher Fitzpatrick skin types. Three of our patients had scores of 5 and one of 4, compared to means of 2 -4 as reported in other studies.…”

“…Eine Reihe von Studien haben belegt, dass mit dem bei Verbrennungsnarben häufig eingesetzten fraktionierten CO 2 -Laser eine Reduktion der Narbendicke, eine verbesserte Elastizität, ein verbessertes Oberflächenrelief sowie Verbesserung der (Hyper-und Hypo-) Pigmentation erzielt werden können. Lasertherapie führt zu dermaler Restrukturierung mit einer erwünschten Verdickung der Dermis und kann auch Schmerz und Juckreiz positiv beeinflussen [59][60][61][62]. Verbesserungen des Narbenbildes treten schon nach einer einzelnen Anwendung auf [63], jedoch erfolgen zumeist mehrere Sitzungen im Intervall von einem bis drei Monaten, um gute Resultate zu erzielen [64,65].…”
