Shine on: Review of Laser- and Light-Based Therapies for the Treatment of Burn Scars by C. Scott Hultman, Renee E. Edkins, Clara N. Lee, Catherine T. Calvert, Bruce A. Cairns

“…We will demonstrate that laser- and light-based therapies can be combined with each other safely to yield superior results, often at lower cost, by reducing the need for reconstructive surgery. Modulating the burn scar, through minimally invasive modalities, may replace conventional methods of burn scar excision and yield outcomes not previously possible or conceivable.…”
