[Lux1540nm fractional laser treatment for superficial scar].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of non-ablative fractional laser Lux1540nm in superficial scars therapy.


METHODS
According to the Fitzpatrik skin type and scar appearances, appropriate laser energy and pulse width were selected for scar treatment. Therapeutic effect and side-effect was evaluated by preoperative photos and 6 months of postoperative photos.


RESULTS
The total effective rate was 78.12% (28/32). 7 cases (21.88%) showed ineffective results. The therapeutic effect was improved along the increase of treatments. Temporary hyperpigmentation was found in 3 cases (9.38%) and faded away within 3-6 months. Temporary erythema faded away within 4-24 hours.


CONCLUSIONS
The treatment of non-ablative fractional laser Lux1540nm for superficial scar is effective with minimum side effect.
