Abstract
A 34-year-old man presented with facial scars one month after a road accident. A physical examination revealed erythematous, minimally hypertrophic scars with bluish brown pigments from traumatic tattoos on the left cheek and left upper cutaneous lip. He was treated with combined laser therapy of a pulsed dye laser (PDL) and picosecond neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. After three sessions of this combined technique, the patient showed significant clinical improvement without side effects. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case of traumatic scars after a road accident treated effectively and safely with combination laser therapy of PDL and picosecond Nd:YAG laser, targeting the traumatic scars and tattoos, respectively.
