Scars are classified into 5 types:Superficial scars,hypertrophic scars,atrophic scars,depressed scars,and keloid.These types are primarily characterized by abnormal production of fibroblasts and collagen,as well as the disorderly arrangement of connective tissue.Laser treatment for scars involves the coordinated activation of various signaling pathways and cytokines.However,the exact pathological mechanism for scar formation remains unclear,leading to a lack of radical treatment.Recently,laser treatment has gained popularity as a new minimally invasive approach for scar treatment.The emergence of new theories such as fractional,picosecond laser,and laser-assisted drug delivery has led to continuous advance in laser treatment.Up to now,it has been developed numerous novel treatments,including combined with drug,physical,and other treatments,which have shown superior therapeutic effects.In order to optimize laser treatment in the future,it is crucial to combine new materials with postoperative care.This will help clinicians develop more comprehensive treatment strategies.Therefore,it is important to explore treatment options that have broader applicability.
