Objectives: 1: Manage various scars through laser treatment
2: Treat burn scar using Pinhole method

Introduction: Many patients with scar have various complications and emotional problems. Although many attempts to treat scars have been performed, such as excision of scars, skin grafts, laser abrasion, and silicone products usage, many patients were not satisfied with the cosmetic results of those.

Materials / method: Pinhole method is performed by using carbon dioxide laser, which makes close holes resembling pores that penetrate from the epidermis to the part of the dermis of scar. A 20-year-old female patient with scar on the neck and a 25-year-old female patient with scar on the right forearm after burn injury were presented for the treatment of the burn scar. Each patient was treated with pinhole method using carbon dioxide laser.

Results: A few weeks later from the treatment, the lesion showed relaxation of contracture, reduction of wrinkles, improvement of texture and color compared to the previous lesion.

Conclusion: Treatment of scar with pinhole method can be easily performed and also results in good improvement of scar quality with only few side effects.

Objectives: Atrophic acne scars usually involved problems of several layers such as epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous layer. Combination approach using filler and picosecond laser can have synergistic better outcome.

Introduction: Acne is one of the most common skin diseases seen in dermatological practices all over the world. In skin colored populations, acne scars and pigmentary sequelae can affect up to more than 50% of the population.

Materials / method: The stimulatory filler can induce new collagen formation and improve skin texture and volume loss of atrophic areas. The application of stimulatory filler over atrophic acne scars had been proved to be effective by some reports and the author’s clinical experience.

Results: Clinically, the picosecond laser with focus lens can induce new collagne formation and is effective in Asian patients with acne scars, with a high safety profile even in dark skin types, and a high satisfaction rate.

Conclusion: In this session, I will present my experience about the combination of stimulatory filler and picosecond laser to treat atrophic acne scars in Asian.

Materials / method: Materials: Glycolic acid 70% solution, Trichloroacetic acid 20% solution,Hydrocortisone

Methods: Application of Glycolic acid 70% + Trichloroacetic acid 20% on chicken pox scars of one month duration, applied daily over face and neck for 3 consecutive days.Cold compresses(frozen milk)were applied on the 4th day onwards to hasten the peeling process.Hydrocortisone cream were applied to newly peeled off area.Tretinoin cream 0.25% applied at night ,sunscreen spf 50 in the morning.Patient was seen after 4 weeks.

Results: Results: 10 patients completed treatment. All patients showed marked improvement (>50-75%) after 1 month, with near complete clearance (>75%) after 6 months and onwards after last treatment. Adverse effects were mild and transient erythema .There was no hyper or hypo pigmentation and scarring noted.

Conclusion: Conclusion: Chemical peels, CROSS or full face application may prove to be a safe, efficient, easy, and low cost treatment, with moderate to high satisfaction rate for the treatment of chickenpox scars.
