Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Patient Posas Score
Scale name: Patient Observer Scar Assessment Score. Scale measures six parameters of scars, each using a 10-point scoring system (the six categories are summed to achieve the POSAS score - totals range from 6 to 60), with 1 representing normal skin \& 10 representing the most severe scar imaginable.
3 months following procedure

Secondary Outcomes (2)

Width of Scar
3 months following procedure
Erythema
