Fractional picosecond laser treatment of non-acne atrophic scars and scar erythema in Chinese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fractional picosecond lasers (FPL) are reported to be effective and safe for atrophic acne scars and post-acne erythema. However, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of FPL treatment for non-acne atrophic scars and scar erythema among Chinese patients.

Clinical improvement was objectively assessed through blinded evaluations by external physicians. A modified Manchester Scar Scale (mMSS) and the Clinician Erythema Assessment Scale (CEAS) were individually used to evaluate atrophic scars and scar erythema based on photographs.
