Can I Use my Home IPL Hair Removal System on my Scar?

kaitlyn58
Can I use my IPL at home hair removal system on a scar? Is the IPL used for hair removal the same IPL used to remove scars? I know that this machine would be nowhere near as good as a salon type machine but if it would help my scar a little I would use it.
