    TLDR Pulsed dye laser and hydrogel dressings effectively treat hypertrophic scars.
    The document discusses various topics in letters to the editor, but the relevant content for summarization pertains to the treatment of hypertrophic scarring. It highlights the effectiveness of the 585 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) in treating hypertrophic scars by targeting blood vessels within the scar tissue, which leads to improvements in the scar's appearance and texture. Alster et al. reported significant decreases in symptoms and scar height, with 57% improvement after one PDL treatment and 83% after two treatments, and these results were sustained for at least 6 months. Additionally, glycerin-based hydrogel dressings are mentioned as another treatment option for hypertrophic scars. The document concludes that while preventing hypertrophic scarring through rapid and complete wound healing is ideal, PDL and hydrogel dressings are effective treatments when scarring occurs. However, the document does not provide the number of participants in the studies, which limits the ability to assess the strength of the evidence.
