Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
BACKGROUND: Laser scar revision has been an effective method for improving several aspects of scarring through ablative and non-ablative sources. The 585-nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) is an important non-ablative instrument for reducing scar bulk and symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of a 585-nm PDL for the treatment of a retracted and atrophic facial scar. METHODS: We report the case of a 26-year-old patient who presented with a retracted facial scar following surgical excision of an aggressive benign tumor. Treatment was carried out using the 585-nm PDL. RESULTS: Treatment of the scar using two low-level PDL therapies significantly altered the appearance of the scar and augmentation of the retracted defect was avoided. CONCLUSION: Treatment of this retracted and atrophic facial scar with the 585-nm PDL was very effective and safe.
