Recently, there have been several attempts to apply the laser therapy to hypertrophic scars (HTS). In particular, the fractional laser is in the spotlight for its usefulness in rapid wound healing and dermal remodeling. However, most previous studies have focused on the ablative fractional laser (AFL), and there are no studies on the mechanism of the nonablative fractional laser (NAFL) effect in HTS treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the changes in histology and molecular chemistry to provide scientific evidence for the early treatment of HTS with NAFL.
