PROCEDURE

PDL 450 microseconds

The scar will be randomly divided into three equal fields. One third of the scar will receive PDL 585 nm using a 7 mm spot size at 4.0 J (Joules) for 450 microseconds. First treatment will be immediately after suture removal, and then monthly for 3 months.

PROCEDURE

PDL 1.5 milliseconds
