Earlobe Laser Scar Revision

The patient was presented with a ruptured earlobe. Traditionally, ruptured or split earlobe are treated through invasive surgery. However, there is a cutting-edge non-invasive and innovative alternative to treat this problem. Using the LightScalpel CO₂ laser, Edward Zimmerman, MD, carefully ablated the affected areas of the skin. This triggers a natural healing response from the body to resurface the skin in the earlobe area as it generates cellular turnover, eventually achieving a reformed, intact, and beautiful earlobe. Several studies have shown that CO₂ laser-irradiated areas, (compared to traditional methods) heal with less wound contraction and scarring due to the reduced amount of myofibroblasts at the surgical site.
