AB The  ability  to  safely  and  effectively  treat  cutaneous  scarring  with  laser  therapy  represents  an  invaluable  skill  for  the  practicing  laser  surgeon.  Various  types  of  scarring  may  result  from  traumatic  injury,  surgical  procedures,  inflammation,  or  infection.  A  basic  understanding  of  the  pathophysiology  of  scarring,  the  different  types  of  scars,  and  the  most  appropriate  laser  therapy  for  each  type  is  essential  to  successfully  treating  cutaneous  scars.  While  a  challenging  task,  successful  treatment  of  scarring  generates  immense  patient  satisfaction  and  renewed  patient  self-confidence.
