VIDEO: Try ‘restaurant menu’ approach to laser treatment of scars


 

EXPERT ANALYSIS FROM THE ODAC CONFERENCE

CHAMPIONSGATE, FLA. – Patients seeking treatment for scars can benefit from a "restaurant menu" approach that involves using a series of techniques in a single visit, according to Dr. Jill Waibel, medical director of the Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute. At the Orlando Dermatology Aesthetic and Clinical Conference, Dr. Waibel spoke to us about one of her favorite strategies for scar treatment: a multiprocedure, multilaser protocol in a single visit that includes an "appetizer," such as a pulsed dye laser; followed by the "main course" of scar treatment, a fractional ablative device; and then "dessert" of adjunctive and topical therapies.
