Background: Recent interest in the prevention and treatment of scars especially on face has been rising. Objectives: We attempted to investigate the factors that influence the treatment outcomes of facial scars. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients with facial scars excluding acne scars and keloids which had been treated using lasers from 2012 to 2015. A total of 100 scars were analyzed to assess various factors including sex, age, location, cause of injury, type of scar, and the timing of treatment after injury. Results: The difference of treatment duration and the number of treatment sessions according to the timing of treatment after injury were statistically significant. The number of treatment sessions differed by the location and type of scar. Conclusion: Early implementation of treatment after injury was the most important factor for reducing treatment duration and the number of treatment sessions required to reach the endpoint when using laser therapy. In addition, this study gave an impression that the anatomic location and type of scar might affect treatment outcome in facial scars.
