Surgical Scar Removal

Profractional Laser

Profractional is a deeply effective fractional laser treatment that creates precise microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling.

This advanced approach targets the depth and thickness of surgical scars, improving both texture and pigmentation while minimizing downtime.

Ideal for moderate to severe scarring, Profractional delivers significant improvement over a series of treatments.

Pixel8-RF

Pixel8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deeply remodel scar tissue, stimulate collagen, and tighten skin. It’s especially effective for:

  • Firm or thickened surgical scars
  • Indented or uneven scar textures
  • Patients who want dramatic results with minimal downtime

RF microneedling works well on all skin tones and can be performed on the face or body.

SkinPen® Microneedling

SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling device that promotes healing and cellular regeneration by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin.

When used on surgical scars, it breaks up fibrous tissue and encourages fresh collagen production.

This treatment is gentle, effective, and safe for most skin types—especially when combined with PRP for enhanced results.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP uses your body’s healing factors—drawn from a small blood sample—to enhance skin repair. When injected into scar tissue or applied after microneedling, PRP can:

  • Boost collagen and elastin production
  • Improve scar tone and texture
  • Accelerate healing for more refined outcomes

It’s a powerful, natural way to complement your scar revision treatments.

Laser Resurfacing / Contour TRL

Contour TRL is a highly customizable ablative laser that removes damaged skin and stimulates deep collagen renewal. It’s one of the most effective options for more prominent, stubborn surgical scars.

Results are dramatic and long-lasting, with smoother skin and improved tone after a single session or series.

Surgical Scar Removal FAQs

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.
