Significance: There are ?12 million traumatic lacerations treated in the United
States emergency rooms each year, 250 million surgical incisions created
worldwide every year, and 11 million burns severe enough to warrant medical
treatment worldwide. In the United States, over $20 billion dollars per year are
spent on the treatment and management of scars. Recent Advances: Investigations
into the management of scar therapies over the last decade have advanced our
understanding related to the care of cutaneous scars. Scar treatment methods are
presented including topical, intralesional, and mechanical therapies in addition
to cryotherapy, radiotherapy, and laser therapy. Critical Issues: Current
treatment options for scars have significant limitations. This review presents
the current and emerging therapies available for scar management and the
scientific evidence for scar management is discussed. Future Directions: Based
upon our new understanding of scar formation, innovative scar therapies are being
developed. Additional research on the basic science of scar formation will lead
to additional advances and novel therapies for the treatment of cutaneous scars.
