Summary

This is a randomized, controlled, within-patient, single-blinded, pilot study that will evaluate the impact of laser treatment on burn HSc relative to self-matched control scars. The studied primary outcomes of treatment are scar pliability, thickness, vascularity, pain, itch and patient satisfaction.

Detailed description

Prior to treatment initiation, two independent scars sites will be selected and an anatomically- on each individual. At the selected treatment site the scar will be treated with the CORE fractional CO2 laser Participants will receive 3 treatment sessions scheduled 4 weeks apart. The scar sites will be evaluated at baseline, immediately before the 3rd treatment and 12 weeks after their final treatment session.
