"Laser scar therapy, particularly the Lumenis UltraPulse™ SCAAR FX™ fractional CO2 ablative laser, has proven to be a significant advancement in scar treatment and management and has been progressively embraced as a promising tool in the multidisciplinary treatment of complex burns and traumatic scars."

    EBA attendees are invited to attend the educational symposium featuring Dr. Gauglitz, who will share his experience of burn scar treatments with UltraPulse SCAAR FX and conduct live demonstrations of the procedure with two burn scar patients:
