Average total scores of the keloids and hypertrophic scars before and after treatment. The laser treatment effectively improved the keloids, as indicated by Mann-Whitney U testing (P < .01). In contrast, the treatment was not as effective with hypertrophic scars (P = .058). This may reflect the relatively small number of hypertrophic scars that were examined.
