Scars caused by burns have constituted a major problem in peoples' external appearance, if not in functional handicaps of their body parts affected by large scars, e.g the neck, chest, arms and legs at joint levels. 

Nowadays, lasers are being used to solve the aesthetic as well as the functional (movement) problems of humans. Patients with hypertrophic burn scars usually seek treatment because of aesthetic issues or associated symptoms. So, either the patient considers the burn scar to be cosmetically unfavourable and/or it is functionally impairing. Associated symptoms, such as pruritus and dysesthesias might be present. 

Laser treatment of burn scars provides significant/total relief to patients, restoring their aesthetic looks as well as the functions earlier impared by the scars.
