To approximate incised skin wound using Nd: YAG laser in experimental animal studies of guinea pigs and clinical applications was attempted. The effect of this laser technique was compared in histology, tensile strength and macroscopic scar formation with a conventional suture technique. The advantages of this new laser technique were as follows: 1. uniformity; 2. low scar formation; 3. strong approximation; 4. rapid wound healing.
