“…Healing rate and wound tensile strength of skin incisions created by a scalpel blade, electrocautery, and laser have been evaluated in laboratory animals 1–4 . To our knowledge, similar comparisons of healing and wound tensile strength after use of CO 2 laser or conventional surgical techniques (CST) for the creation and elevation of skin flaps in dogs has not been reported.…”

“…At the end of the remodeling process the tensile strength of the scar is only up to 70% of intact skin and thus results in tough inflexible scar tissue (Fig. 2) (Finsterbush et al, 1982; Julia et al, 1993; Morin et al, 1989; van Zuijlen et al, 2003)…”

The skin is the largest organ in the body and plays multiple essential roles ranging from regulating temperature, preventing infection and ultimately defining who we are physically. It is a highly dynamic organ that constantly replaces the outermost cells throughout life. However, when faced with a major injury, human skin cannot restore a significant lesion to its original functionality, instead a reparative scar is formed. In contrast to this, many other species have the unique ability to regenerate full thickness skin without formation of scar tissue. Here we review recent advances in the field that shed light on how the skin cells in regenerative species react to injury to prevent scar formation versus scar forming humans.

“…The focal nature of the laser beam on tissue permits wound healing to proceed in a normal manner, 19,20 and no additional precautions are required by the physician or the patient. Additionally, since thermal conduction is minimal, 21 one can expect little damage to the adjacent tissues, such as pilosebaceous structures, compared with the significant damage produced by thermal coagulation with electrosurgical units.…”

When used in the focused cutting mode, the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser can permit virtually bloodless scalp reduction surgery as a function of its remarkable hemostatic properties. This instrument speeds the operating time and allows the surgeon to close the wound with confidence that postoperative bleeding is unlikely to compromise the results. The additional potential benefits of decreased swelling and pain due to sealing of lymphatics and nerve endings are more difficult to quantify. It appears that the CO2 laser offers many benefits in scalp reduction surgery and is a useful modification of the standard technique.
