Abstract Objective A fractional 1064-nm picosecond laser is an efficient and safe treatment for atrophic acne scars. However, evidence of using a picosecond laser for atrophic posttraumatic and surgical scar therapy is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a 1064-nm picosecond laser with a microlens array (MLA) for...
