Facial scars are frequently deemed unpleasant and can profoundly impact a patient's psychological health. This study compares the effectiveness, safety, and capacity to speed up scar healing in the maxillofacial region between fractional carbon dioxide (CO₂) laser therapy alone and polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) combined with CO₂ laser therapy.
