Abstract

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of narrow-spectrum intense pulsed light for the treatment of burn scar. Methods From May 2014 to February 2015, 37 cases with burn scar (48 places) were treated with narrow- spectrum intense pulsed light (DPL, 500-600 nm). The treatment parameter was set up according to the color of the scar and the immediate vessel responses. The treatment interval was 4-6 months. Results Nineteen scars had significant improvement, 26 scars had moderate improvement, and 3 scars had no improvement. The effective rate was 93.75%. Adverse effects included transient erythema, blister and transient PIH. Conclusion The narrow-spectrum intense pulsed light can be considered as an effective and safe method for the treatment of burn scar.
