Scar revision surgeries aim to improve the appearance and function of scars caused by trauma, burns, or surgery. W-plasty, a surgical technique involving zigzag incisions, redistributes tension, reducing scar visibility and improving flexibility. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), derived from the patient’s blood, promotes healing and collagen production, improving scar texture and minimizing hypertrophy. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLRT) uses low-intensity light to stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, and enhance scar pliability. These techniques, when used individually or in combination, have shown significant improvements in scar appearance, elasticity, and overall healing. Together, W-plasty, PRP, and LLRT offer a comprehensive approach to effective scar revision, enhancing both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
