Burns are injuries of skin or other tissue caused by thermal, radiation, chemical or electrical 
contact Clinically, treatment is challenging despite a wide array of options including 
corticosteroids, radiation, lasers and surgery. There have been several case reports of 
improvement in mature burn scars after treatment with fractional CO2 laser. Furthermore, 
burn scars are usually thick, wide and contracted, which may reduce the function of the 
anatomical region involved and result in deformity.
