This document discusses minimally invasive technologies for treating hypertrophic scars and keloids, including low-dose 5-fluorouracil injections, pulsed-dye lasers, long-pulsed Nd:YAG lasers, and fractional lasers. It provides details on the mechanisms and protocols for each treatment. Low-dose 5-FU injections involve injecting small amounts of 5-fluorouracil into scars to inhibit collagen production. Pulsed-dye lasers use selective photothermolysis to target hemoglobin in scars. Long-pulsed Nd:YAG and fractional lasers utilize laser energy to heat scar tissue and induce new collagen formation. Post-treatment regimes and potential
