[Thermal lasers and wound healing]

(Lasers thermiques et cicatrisation cutanée.)

Full Abstract

The wound healing is a complex biological process, which induces a dermal remodelling leading at minimum to a visible scar to an hypertrophic scar. In opposition, regeneration of a tissue or organ is the reconstitution ad integro of this organ. Recent studies suggest that by using laser, which generates a precisely defined thermal effect in the skin, it became possible to improve the wound healing process to become closer to tissue regeneration.
