BACKGROUND Burn is a major problem in lowand middle-income countries, with annual incidence of around 6-7 million per year in India. Post burn immature scars are reversible as well as preventable. Apart from conventional therapy various other measures exist for treatment of these scars, including Low level Laser Therapy (LLLT). No study has been reported from India on effect of gender on LLLT treated post burn immature scars. METHODS This is a prospective interventional study to see correlation of gender with effect of LLLT on post burn immature scars. Study was done in single institute with 41 subjects of post burn scars with LLLT for 8 weeks. Effect of LLLT was observed with Vancouver scar scale (VSS) score before and after intervention and observations were correlated with gender of the subjects. RESULTS Out of 41 subjects included, male subjects were 34.1% while female subjects were 65.9%. On analysis it was found that mean VSS score of scars at presentation was higher in male subjects (7.7) compared to that in female subjects (6.9). However, improvement in mean VSS score after 8 weeks of LLLT was similar in both genders. CONCLUSION Effect of LLLT on immature post burn scars is found to be similar in both genders, but large randomized multicentric trials are required to validate this study.
