A persistent facial wound after laser resurfacing was successfully treated with debridement and skin grafting. This case highlights a basic wound healing approach for complex laser complications.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Wound Healing

Background:

  • Facial laser resurfacing is a common cosmetic procedure for skin aging and actinic keratoses.
  • Complications, though rare, can include persistent nonhealing wounds.
  • Standard treatments may fail in complex cases.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old woman developed a progressive, nonhealing forehead wound 6 months post-laser resurfacing.
  • The wound presented with exuberant granulation tissue and pain, despite multiple prior topical treatments.
  • The patient had sought consultations across the Southeast without resolution.

Findings:

  • Surgical debridement and split-thickness skin grafting under general anesthesia were performed.
  • Pathologic analysis confirmed hyperplastic granulation tissue and epidermal appendages.
