One symptom of hypertrophic scar (HTS) that can develop after burn injury is dyschromia with hyper‐ and hypopigmentation. There are limited treatments for these conditions. Previously, we showed there is no expression of alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone (α‐MSH) in hypopigmented scars, and if these melanocytes are treated with synthetic α‐MSH in vitro, they respond by repigmenting. The current study tested the same hypothesis in the in vivo environment using laser‐assisted drug delivery (LADD).
