Skin grafts saved Heidi Paone’s life, but left thick scarring that made it hard to move her hands, arms, and neck. Fortunately, she was among the first patients treated at Temple's Burn Center with the UltraPulse laser. William Hughes of the Burn Center says, "It drills tiny little holes deep down into the scar tissue. Part of it is breaking up that dense scar tissue, allowing it to remodel, and allowing it to flatten."
