Abstract
In one aspect, methods of treating a wound are described herein. A method described herein, in some embodiments, comprises treating a wound, such as a chronic wound, by performing a full field laser ablation in a wound bed of the wound and subsequently performing a fractional laser ablation in the wound bed. Additionally, in some cases, the fractional laser ablation step is carried out at substantially the same time as, or immediately following, the full field laser ablation step. In addition, in some instances, a method described herein further comprises performing debridement in the wound bed prior to performing the full field laser ablation in the wound bed.
