ABSTRACT
Twenty one keloids and hypertrophied scars in sixteen patients were subjected to intralesional laser excision, followed immediately by application of silicone gel sheeting for three months and intralesional steroid injection which started two weeks postoperatively after complete wound healing and was done every other week for two months. Improvement in color, texture and thickness of the scars was noted. No failure or recurrence following this combined therapy was observed after six months
