John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Fraxel Repair on surgical scars?

Can Fraxel Re:pair be used on surgical scars? When (post-surgery) should one begin undergoing the procedure?

Scar improvement can be at times difficult. No one therapy works well on every scar. Lasers may work well on scars with vascular markings, but wide scars more frequently benefit by scar revision. I have seen a fair number of patients who spent thousands on laser treatments and ultimately came to getting the improvement they desired from a simple one stage scar revision.
