    Studysummary This study observed that cutaneous microwounds created by fractional photothermolysis heal differently from typical wounds, displaying rapid re-epithelialization and limited inflammation, which may help reduce scar formation by delaying collagen remodeling and minimizing myofibroblast activation.
