Abstract:

BACKGROUND: 585 nm pulsed dye laser is widely used in clinical practice for pathological scars, but the efficacy and safety have not been proved.

 
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 585 nm pulsed dye laser in the treatment of pathological scars.
METHODS: A computer search of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and others was conducted. Meta-analyses were performed for the results of homogenerous studies by Revman 5.2 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Six studies including 208 pathological scars were enrolled. Meta-analyses showed that the 585 nm pulsed dye laser was superior to the blank control group in the change of Vancouver burn scar assessment scale [P < 0.000 01, WMD=-2.79 and 95% CI (-3.12, -2.46)]. 585 nm pulsed dye laser seems to improve the overall texture of the scar; however, it is not confirmed to be effective in the improvement of erythema, size, elasticity and pliability of scars. 585 nm pulsed dye laser is not better than other treatments. It is suggested that it is safe to use 585nm pulsed dye laser in the treatment of pathological scars. It is susceptible to bias due to little sample size.
