U047 Laser and Device-Based Treatment of Scars
DESCRIPTION
This session will explore the use of lasers and device-based technology to treat different types of scars. Traditional and cutting-edge techniques will be explored for the correction of erythematous, pigmented, hypertrophic and atrophic scars, acne scars, burn scars, surgical scars and complex scars from trauma. Session format will include lectures and panel discussion.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Categorize scar types based on clinical morphology, pathophysiology, and stage of maturation.
Identify and compare laser and energy-based devices for scar treatment based on mechanism of action and clinical indication.
Differentiate device-based treatment strategies for atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid, erythematous, dyspigmented, and contracture scars.
