Abstract
Argon and CO2 lasers have been used to treat 13 patients with well‐established keloid scars of the trunk or earlobe. Multiple‐bore‐hole argon technique and total excision with the CO2 laser were attempted. One patient with an earlobe keloid responded to treatment, all other patients had no improvement.Argon and CO2 lasers have been used to treat 13 patients with well‐established keloid scars of the trunk or earlobe.
