Why your scar needs more than one laser

A scar is a border, not a line. 9 swipes.

THE SEARCH2/9

You searched "scar after surgery." You got machine names and prices.

The machine is not the treatment.

THE BORDER3/9

A scar sits at five depths at once.

Fibrotic base · surface texture · redness · pigment · lost elasticity.

ONE JOB EACH4/9

Needle RF → releases the base. Long-pulse 1064/755 → heats the whole dermis.

1550/1450 fractional → turns tissue over. Picosecond → clears pigment, tightens pores. Vascular → settles redness, last.

ORDER5/9

RF first, or the energy stops flowing where it's aimed.

Heat the base, then work down from the surface. Vascular last.

ODD / EVEN6/9

Odd sessions: invasive, needles in. Even sessions: stabilise.

4–6 sessions · 2–4 weeks apart · done within 3 months.

WEEK THREE7/9

At week 3 you may see almost nothing.

Collagen keeps remodelling for up to 10 months. Month 1 is not the result.

NOT FOR EVERYTHING8/9

Keloids — handled differently. Flushing-type redness — no deep stacking.

Eye won't close right after surgery — surgeon and ophthalmologist first.
