Fig. 32.1

Upper lip hypertrophic scar. Left: before treatment. Right: 1 year after treatment. Two years before her referral to our clinic, a 20-year-old female received an abrasion injury to her upper lip that turned into a hypertrophic scar. Long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser was used at the following settings: 5 mm spot diameter, 65–70 J/cm2, 25 ms, and 2 Hz. After 1 year of this treatment, the scar continued to exhibit a textural difference, but its redness and elevation had improved. (This figure is cited from Ref.
