Hypopigmented Scars
After a suture or a deep burn, it is usual to observe a denitive achromy due to the lack of hair folli­cles present in the depths, reservoirs of melanocyte stem cells, which allow pigmentary resurgence. But if there are still some stem cells capable of differentiating into melanocytes, they retain the ability to form melanin when they
a
migrate to the hair bulbs or to the epidermis, which still allows repigmentation. Although there are no more melanocytes in black skin than in white skin, the melanosomes are larger and more numerous, and more mature, i.e., more “reactive” (Fig. 33a–c).

Thus, when faced with a so-called mature scar
made up of xed tissue, as the achromy appears well after 3 months, it is extremely difcult to recolor naturally.
There are nevertheless several strategies if we
think that there may be a few melanocytes or stem cells left in “disarray” capable of differenti­ating into melanocytes, particularly in burn scars, and we can try to stimulate them.
- Moderate sun exposure (like vitiligo, these
areas are more “sensitive” to UV rays) and the use of localized phototherapy by laser or 310nm excimer lamp can be effective, but patience is required and at least 6 months are necessary before any results are obtained, which must be maintained at least at the beginning.
Techniques are often combined for better results
• Ablative lasers, particularly fractionated or micro-needling, have their place. It has been shown that these ablative techniques can stim­ulate cell differentiation pathways and lead to
the reappearance of hair and/or sweat append­ages in old scars.
After failure of these techniques or if it is thought that there are no cells that can be stimu­lated, always in association with phototherapy or natural heliotherapy, attempts at melanocyte self­grafting should be made. The laser group of the French dermatology society had conducted a pro­spective study proposing, in hypopigmented scars, the combination of an ablative laser and autografting by spraying a melanocyte suspen­sion obtained with the Viticell© kit from Genevrier. The results were very inconsistent because the grafting of these particularly fragile cells was not obvious on scar tissue and brous, not very conducive to cell migration unlike vitil­igo where this technique is effective (Fig.
34a–g).
Medical dermopigmentation is a risk-free indication that satises numerous patients, par­ticularly in the reconstruction and pigmentation of the areola.

Comments
– Fo r acne scars and small hypopigmented
scars, some of us recommend NAFL, AFL, or MRF, topical application of bimatoprost plus topical application of 0.25% retinoids to stim­ulate dormant stem cells or melanocytes to “wake them up.”
– In our experience, the melanocyte grafting
procedure works better for vitiligo than for scars with a brous tissue that is probably not hospitable to fragile melanocytes.
Mature, Fixed Scars withRelief Alterations
Thick Scars
Provided that there are no signs of hypertrophic scarring or keloids, all raised scars can be treated with a pulse laser.
Before considering a dermabrasion, scars sub­jected to repeated tensional efforts should be screened, especially in the nasolabial fold or the upper white lip. In these two situations, the great mobility induced by the opening of the mouth does not allow a satisfactory leveling, the perma­nent tensional efforts (elocution, mastication) inducing a new inammatory hypertrophic pro­cess by a mechanical stretching effect.
For other scars, the abrasion will be progres­sive, so controlling the depth of treatment and remaining particularly cautious on scarred areas
without annexes (deep burns) is important. It should always be kept in mind that a second treat­ment is always preferable to a too deep abrasion.
Atrophic Scars
Depressed scars must rst be surgically revised when possible: the principle is to resect all or parts of the most damaged areas. This surgery is only possible if the scar orientation is good and if the tension on the edges is sufciently limited not to cause secondary enlargement. Certain large scars can sometimes benet from lifting, such as chicken pox or wide scars. Otherwise, laser dermabrasion will focus on the scar margins, softening steep slopes to make the depression less visible by blurring shadows in natural light (Fig. 35a–i).
Chalazodermic Scars
A typical example of a chalazodermic scar is the aftermath of a blowing hemangioma. The skin appears very thin, the dermis no longer ensuring its support function and leaving the underlying hypodermis to appear like a hernia or, on the contrary, drawing a depression linked to this thinning. This type of scar is one of the best indications for fractional lasers; however, in certain situations partial results may indicate the use of a pulsed CO2 laser (Fig. 31a, b).

Acne Scar
Acne scars occur consequent to abnormal wound healing following sebaceous follicular inamma­tion in acne.
Various types of acne scars are ice pick, roll­ing, pox scar, hypertrophic, and keloidal. Different modalities of treatment include subci­sion, dermaroller, radio frequency therapy, punch excision, chemical peeling, and lasers.
After ensuring that there are no progressive acne lesions during the interview, it is the analy­sis of the scars during the preliminary consulta­tion that will enable the therapeutic attitude to be specied. We will thus separate spontaneously regressive sequelae and permanent sequelae and determine the nature of the latter [31].
Active Acne withInammation, Why Wait?
Acne, also known as acne vulgaris within the medical community, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition. Acne can grow everywhere, but the more common spots for breakouts are the face (particularly the cheeks and fore­head), back, chest, and shoulders. It can be improved with over-the-counter treatments, but more severe forms of the condition would
require medical intervention. There are several types of acne, from blackheads to conglobata. But although we have a medical arsenal to treat this acne, the use of lasers and BEDs can be helpful. Indeed, the risk of scarring must be considered, and its early management is debated [32].
For inammatory acne, we can propose photo- biomodulation with LEDs alone or opti­mize it with dynamic phototherapy. Without going back over the photo-chemical mecha­nism, the results are quite interesting (Fig. 36a–
c). Encapsulated gold particles activated by
Nd-YAG laser shots are also another therapeu­tic option (Sebacia ©) while waiting for the new wavelengths dedicated to acne which are currently being researched. To target P. acnes and its secretion, it is necessary to damage the sebaceous glands to stop or minimize sebum production. Optically, at 1726 nm, fat and sebum absorb twice as much as compared to H2O.
Pulsed dye laser, Nd-YAG 1064nm, and non­fractional and non-ablative such as Nd-YAP 1340 nm are other options to eliminate active acne, but they are often a temporary effect. For mature women, laser therapy may nevertheless be an alternative to conventional drugs and topi­cal ointments in treatment impasse [33] (Fig.
37a–d).
