1 Introduction Surgical scars represent a natural part of the wound healing process, where fibrous tissue replaces normal skin following injury [1, 2]. While many scars resolve over time, some can manifest as hypertrophic or keloid scars, causing discomfort and disfigurement for patients [3, 4]. Laser therapies, notably fractional CO2 laser treatments, have emerged as promising interventions to soften and flatten these scars, offering relief from symptoms such as pain and itching [5, 6].
