Resumo

The knowledge of microenvironment of tissue repair enables better understanding of the healing process and the techniques currently employed for its correction. There are different types of scars and the treatment should be chosen according to lesion. Laser mechanism of action on scars is based on two pillars, to reduce blood flow and to reorganize collagen fibers. Devices available for scar treatment include intense pulsed light (IPL), in the vascular mode, non-ablative lasers, and ablative lasers. In this chapter we are going to discuss non-ablative lasers for scar treatment.
