Will laser resurfacing help with skin graft scars?

You must wait until the skin graft has healed to pursue laser treatments. An in depth consultation is necessary to determine the best course of action for your specific condition.The Sciton Erbium: Yag Laser is used in the operating
room under anesthesia as it treats the deepest layers of skin, and can
achieve extraordinary results in appropriate patients when used alone or
in combination with procedures such as a face lift. This laser can be
used in darker skinned patients and produces outstanding results for
acne scarring, fine or deeper skin wrinkles, enlarged pores, and
irregular skin pigmentation. Healing afterwards is generally uneventful,
consisting of what looks like a deep sunburn that is treated with
topical lubricants for 7 to 10 days, at which time the skin is healed.
Skin pinkness can persist for weeks, and is minimized by topical steroid
crèmes.

Yes, if the skin grafts are raised. I perform at least one to two skin graft revisions (referred from plastics) weekly. The grafts that do best are raised full thickness skin grafts on the face- especially nose area. One treatment with FULL ABLATIVE laser is best, rather than multiple sessions of fractional laer. You should see a Specialist who performs this procedure on a frequent basis, as sometimes hypertrophic scars can occur, and treatment maybe needed. cheers,Dr Davin Lim Laser and Cosmetic Dermatologist,Brisbane and Gold Coast AUSTRALIA
