Abstract

This article discusses the use of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for treating hypertrophic scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. Hypertrophic scars are thick and raised scars that can be cosmetically and functionally problematic. The case report presents a successful treatment of a hypertrophic scar using IPL therapy, demonstrating its potential as a safe and non-invasive option. The article provides details on the treatment parameters and the patient's progress throughout the treatment course. IPL technology has been effective in treating various skin conditions and offers an alternative treatment option for patients who have concerns about using steroids. The article emphasizes the importance of further research on IPL technology and its potential benefits. [Extracted from the article]
