How soon after surgery can I start treating my scar?
In most cases, scar revision treatments can begin once the incision has fully healed—typically around 8 to 12 weeks post-surgery. During your consultation, we’ll assess the scar and determine the best time to start based on your healing and scar maturity.
Will scar treatments completely erase my scar?
While no treatment can completely erase a scar, our advanced technologies can significantly improve its appearance—making it softer, smoother, and less visible. Many patients find their scars become virtually unnoticeable after a customized series of treatments.
Can I treat older scars, or do they have to be recent?
You can absolutely treat older scars. While results may vary depending on scar type and skin quality, our treatments are designed to stimulate collagen and improve both new and mature scars.
Is there downtime after scar removal treatments?
Downtime depends on the treatment used. Laser resurfacing and Profractional therapy may require several days of healing, while microneedling and RF treatments have minimal recovery time.
Are these treatments safe for all skin tones?
Yes—many of our scar revision options, including RF microneedling, SkinPen, and PRP, are safe for a wide range of skin tones. We take special precautions and customize settings for laser-based treatments to protect melanin-rich skin and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.
Can surgical scar treatments also help with discoloration?
Absolutely. Many scars have uneven pigmentation—appearing darker or redder than the surrounding skin. Treatments like Profractional laser, Contour TRL, and peels can reduce discoloration while also improving texture and smoothness.
How many sessions will I need to see results?
The number of treatments varies depending on the size, location, and age of the scar. Some patients see visible improvement after one session, while others benefit most from a series of 3–5 treatments.
Will scar revision treatments hurt?
Most treatments are very well tolerated. We offer topical numbing and cooling options to keep you comfortable. RF microneedling and laser treatments may feel like a warm zap or quick pinch, but discomfort is minimal and temporary.
Can I combine scar revision with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to complement scar removal with skin tightening, injectable fillers (for indented scars), or resurfacing treatments for overall rejuvenation. During your consultation, we’ll build a holistic plan tailored to your goals.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Aftercare is important. Depending on your treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, heat (like saunas or hot yoga), active skincare products, and makeup for a few days. A gentle healing regimen and daily SPF will help protect your results.
