Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS says:Surgical scars can become red,
hypertrophic, inflamed, and thickened. In our office, we use a
combination approach that includes pulsed dye laser, Plato's Scar gel
used twice daily, fractional laser, and Kenalog IIT to reduce the scar.
Topical therapies are great first-line therapy...
