- Abstract
The article discusses a treatment regimen for hypertrophic scars. It says that a W-plasty excision was used to surgically excise the medical scar, which was treated with diamond-bur dermabrasion six weeks after. According to the author, onabotulinumtoxin A, triamcinolone and 5-fluorouracil (FU) are combined to target various pathologies of scar development in order to produce superior results. The function of triamcinolone is also discussed.
