“…Several different nonablative laser options such as 1,320-nm Nd:YAG or 1,450-nm diode lasers have demonstrated the efficacy in the treatment of atrophic scars, but the degree of clinical improvement is far less than that of the ablative systems. 10 For a treatment of surgical scars, PDL, ablative, and nonablative fractional lasers (NAFLs) have been reported to be effective. One article mentioned the superiority of 1,550-nm NAFL compared with PDL on postoperative scars, and others reported the clinical effect of the PDL followed by AFL on surgical scars.…”
