This article reviews various scar scales and devices used to measure scars. Several popular scar scales are described that subjectively assess scar characteristics like pliability, height, vascularity, and pigmentation to determine overall scar severity. The article also surveys technological devices that can objectively quantify scar properties, such as laser profilometers to measure scar height and optical profilers to assess pigmentation.
