Background:
Reducing erythema and infiltration of inflamed, hypertrophic, and colloidal scars have been a challenge for healthcare providers. Peer-reviewed scientific data for intense pulsed light systems are lacking.
Objective:
A chronicle of three patients who have participated in the treatment of inflamed, hypertrophic, and colloidal scars, using intense pulsed light.
Methods:
Intense pulsed light with a selection of wavelengths, pulse durations, and energy densities was used on patients with inflamed, hypertrophic, and colloidal scars.
Results:
A definite improvement in scar tissue was observed and achieved in all the cases.
Conclusion:
Intense pulsed light source with the correct outputs is an effective tool for the treatment and improvement of inflamed, hypertrophic, and colloidal scars.
