Laser therapy vs other treatments

Incidence and severity of treatment‐related adverse effects ‐ 585‐nm PDL versus TAC plus 5‐FU ‐ purpura ‐ hypertrophic and keloid scars ‐ · participants with hypertrophic and keloid scars

It is very uncertain whether laser therapy changes incidence and severity of treatment‐related adverse effects ‐ 585‐nm… compared with other treatments (very low certainty).
