Brief summary
To compare the effectiveness of hypertrophic or keloid scar treatment with either intralesional corticosteroid injection alone or combined intralesional corticosteroid injection with either long-pulse ND YAG or Erbium YAG

DEVICEFotona dynamis: Long pulse Nd YAG + Er YAG laser
Intralesional corticosteroid injection combine with long-pulse Neodynium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet Laser (Nd-YAG) (IL KA + ND YAG)
DEVICEFotona Dynamis: Long pulse Nd YAG + Er YAG laser
Intralesional corticosteroid injection combine with Erbium Yttrium Aluminium Garnet Laser (Er-YAG) (IL KA + Er YAG)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver scar scale | 5 months | Vancouver scar scale to evaluate scar severity of keloid scar assessing 4 variations including vascularity, pigmentation, pliability, height scoring range from 0-13 (the more scores resembling the more severity) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Japan Scar Workshop Scar Scale | 5 months | Japan Scar Workshop Scar Scale to evaluate scar severity of keloid scar assessing 2 main domains (risk factors and presenting symptoms) by 2 tables 1. Classification scoring range 0-5 = matured scars 6-15 = hypertrophic scars 16-25 = keloids 2. Evaluation for treatment & follow ups scoring range from 0-18 (the more scores resembling the more severity) |
