Lasers andEnergy-Based Devices inScar Therapy: APractical Use

Comments
– The pulsed dye laser is the gold standard of
vascular lasers. Initially used for angiomas from birth, it can be equally useful for vascu­lar or inammatory scars with a minimal risk of burning.
– For skin of color type (SOC), patients have
more melanin in their epidermis. This melanin can act as a competing target chromophore for hemoglobin, causing an increased risk of adverse effects. Higher uence may be neces­sary to produce the expected clinical endpoint.
123
For a diffuse redness in SOC, a non-purpuric approach (e.g., 5J/cm2, 12mm spot size, 0.45ms, DCD 40ms before/20ms post cooling cryogenic system) is recommended for an immediate vessel disappearance without purpura.
For large vessel in SOC: large spot, 10/15J/ cm2, 10ms, DCD 40/20 ms for a same clinical endpoint.
KTP 532nm
The KTP 532 laser is the competitor of the pulsed dye laser. The short wave penetrates only slightly less than the pulsed dye laser. It has an afnity for both the vascular network and the pigment. It is therefore necessary to be careful when using it on tanned skin or on skin with a phototype above III on the Fitzpatrick scale. The new generations of this type of laser also allow photocoagulation and photothermolysis modes.
Yellow Laser 577nm and589nm
These two wavelengths are those best absorbed by hemoglobin. They are therefore an intermedi­ate between the KTP laser and the pulsed dye laser. And even if there are few publications for the treatment of scars, there is no reason to believe that they cannot reduce vascular redness. However, they do not cause purpura.

Nd: YAG 1064nm Long Pulse andNd: YAG 1319nm
These two lasers do not emit the same wave­lengths but are still in the infrared range. Nevertheless, their indications are in the same range. They aim to remodel scar tissue, even if it is more than 3–4mm thick, and have a signicant thermal effect. The Nd-YAG laser, however, has the characteristic of being able to photocoagulate large vessels beyond the millimeter. It can be used point by point or in scanning mode to accu­mulate this thermal effect to promote red scar or remodeling to give for exibility. For Nd: YAG, a low uence less than 5 J/cm2 and an emission time between 0.3 and 0.5ms are recommended for skin tightening (Fig. 9). Devices have a ther­mal sensor that continuously calculates the skin surface temperature, which should be stable at around 52°C, but it is difcult to know for how long you should maintain this thermal level.
A more classic setting is also possible but variable according to the publications by exam­ple for hypertrophic and red scars: spot diameter

5–10mm, time per pulse 25–60ms, energy den­sity between 10 and 75 J/cm2 and two to three passes every 2–4–6weeks between each session until an efcacy [4, 5].
The decision between the two modes is empir­ical but it is important to avoid accumulating too much energy which will cause immediate whit­ening, signaled by a thermal burn.
Q-Switched Nanosecond andPicosecond Laser
Several wavelengths are available: 532, 755, 585–650–694, and 1064 nm. The characteristic of these lasers is that they emit phenomenal pho-
toacoustic energy in an extremely short time, 300 picoseconds to 50 ns depending on the device. Initially used for tattoo removal, they are also an indication for pigmented scars, to a certain extent post-inammatory or post- inammatory pigmen­tation (PIH), collagen remodeling in scanning mode or a fractional MLA mode as the LIOB procedure (laser-induced optical breakdown), and of course for tattooed scars from traumatic exogenous pigments (Fig. 10a–d).

Pulsed Polychromatic Light
Pulsed polychromatic light, ash lamp, or intense pulsed light (IPL) has the main charac­teristic of emitting photons of multiple wave­lengths (Fig. 11). The spectral band is therefore wide, from 400 to 1200nm, but the use of lters allows a contingent of photons to be ltered. The Intense Pulsed Light is indicated for acne, vascu­lar, inammatory, and pigmented scars [6] (Fig.
12a–d). It can be combined in the same session
with photoacoustic or non-ablative lasers.

Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
The use of LEDs can also respond to the manage­ment of a healing process [7]. It also responds to

the choice of wavelength. In most publications, for inammatory or recent scars, 630 nm is the rst choice with infrared 850nm. However, their benet is the subject of debate. They have no del-

Comments
The patient was hospitalized for a month, and we took advantage of this to offer her mixed LEDs every 2 days, always in combination with the classic postoperative healing procedure. We were surprised by the result and the textural quality of the scar. The choice of parameters and the num­ber of sessions were empirical but there were no side effects.
Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency delivers only a thermal effect, unlike lasers.
Contact Radiofrequency
Contact radiofrequency by regular scanning allows mechanical remodeling while delivering heat, which we try to stabilize at around 50°C thanks to thermal sensors. This is the same prin­ciple of infrared heat accumulation as the Nd-YAG 1064 laser.
Fractional Radiofrequency
This involves dozen electrodes applied in contact with the skin to cause surface thermocoagulation to regenerate it. It acts on less than 1mm of skin thickness.
Radiofrequency withMicro-Needles (MRF)
This is like fractional ablative lasers. Physically, these are polarized needles that penetrate between
0.5m and 4mm deep to create thermal columns to fragment and remodel brosed or atrophic skin tissue (Fig. 14a–c).
There is a choice between insulated and unpro­tected needles. In the rst case, only the tip will be able to deliver its full thermal energy. Depending on the thickness of the scar tissue, it will be necessary to make several passes to treat the entire scar vol­ume. In the second case, the whole needle delivers this energy. This is also a source of discussion as to the possible choice. Note that needles can become damaged and blunt more quickly if the scars are very dense, unlike fractional ablative lasers.

Other Waves
Shock Waves
Focused Ultrasound
These waves are focused according to the trans­ducers used to create skin fusion points at more than 70°C instantaneously: 1.5, 3.5, and 4.5mm deep. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is indicated for skin tightening and slackening. With the skin relaxation due to aging, the visual­ization of a scar is reaccentuated, and HIFU could help to reduce scar.
Mechanical Devices andOther Sources ofHeat
Micro-Needling, Mechanical Subcision, andScar Raising withPunch Biopsy
This is outside the scope of lasers and other waves, but mechanical techniques still can be used in the management of deep scarring, atro­phic and mature scars (Fig. 15a–d).
They are not associated with a thermal effect and can be used without risk for scars on all pho­totypes [8].

Cryotherapy andRadiotherapy [910]
These two techniques are indicated for xed keloid scars or after surgical removal of a keloid to avoid recurrence. Depending on the country, endocuritherapy is preferred by introducing an iridium thread into the keloid or now there is a focused cutaneous radiotherapy device that avoids the need for treatment in a leaded room in a radiotherapy center, which is normally the only one authorized to provide this type of radiation. The only system is SRT-100™ (Sensus Healthcare, Boca Raton, Florida) using a biologi­cally effective dose (BED) of 30Gy with irradia­tion scheme of three 6Gy SRT treatments on Days 1, 2, and 3 following surgeries.
Cryosurgery without and with intralesional corticosteroids is effective and safe on young and small keloids not only as a destructive physical procedure but also by inducing biochemical and immunological scar rejuvenation.
Lasers in Surgical Scars
There is increasing evidence of the effectiveness of lasers, light-based devices, and others energy­based devices (EBD) in the postsurgical healing process. These different treatments occur at vari­ous times before or after surgery [11].
The Day Before Surgery withNon­ablative Fractional Laser
The concept of being able to treat a scar increas­ingly quickly stems from the work of Haedersdal etal. A single NAFL treatment at low to medium uence performed 1 day prior, or in the early phases of wound healing, may have the potential to optimize scar formation in full wounds without
side effects including dyschromia. It was a ran­domized, controlled, intra-individual trial with Erbium-glass 1540 nm NAFL versus no laser treatment on 16 subjects receiving 10 standardized full-thickness punch biopsy wounds. A single NAFL exposure has been assessed 1day before the biopsy, immediately after, and 2weeks after. Three uence levels provided deep and supercial energy depositions (range 30–70mJ/microbeam).
The results show that biopsy scars are invisi­ble if the area is laser treated the day before the biopsy [12]. In clinical practice, treatment 24h before the operation may be of interest [13].
Laser asanEarly Procedure During Surgery
Automated Laser Diode 1210nm [14]
The Laser-Assisted Skin Healing treatment induces a controlled heat stress that promotes tis­sue regeneration. This comparative trial is the rst to evaluate the performance of a new auto­mated 1210-nm laser system, compatible with all Fitzpatrick scale phototypes. The horizontal sutured incision of one breast was treated with the portable 1210-nm laser while in the operating theater. The other breast was used as the study control. Finally, at 24weeks, the treated side had a 36% (p<0.038) reduction in scar volume com­pared to the control group. At 52weeks, there was a 29% (p=0.004) reduction in volume, an 11% (p = 0.017) reduction in scar area, and a 17% (p=0.002) improvement in the smoothness (roughness) of the scar compared to the control group. This procedure in facial skin surgery must benet from more practical applications, but it is used for long scars of the body (Fig. 16a–d).
