Tags: 1 week post-op, expectation, final result, scar
7 days ago I received one pulsed-dye laser treatment for a dark red, 1-year old scar. As my doctor predicted, there was some purplish bruising but that went away within a couple of days and my scar now looks exactly the same. When could I expect to see some improvement of the redness of my scar?

Pulse dye laser therapy for scarring
Pulse dye laser therapy is quite a slow to work as it stimulates cells responsible for self-repair process in your skin. On average it can take 6 weeks to 6 months to get a result. it also requires repeat sessions -3-6 times every 2-6 weeks. It is often combined with steroid injections into scars to get maximum benefits.
