Laser Scar Removal vs Permanent Makeup.

Treatment of scars resulting from surgery or trauma may involve laser treatment, medical treatment, surgery, or a combination of the above.  As there are several different types of scars that can occur (hypertrophic, atrophic, keloidal, etc.) and as the goal for the treatment of each scar may be different (improvement of color, texture, release of tightness, ertc.), there isn't a simple straightforward answer to your question.  Your best option is to be examined by someone who has extensive experience in treating scars and obtain a recommendation for a treatment plan.  Keep in mind that improvement in the appearance of scars via laser alone or in combination with other techniques can take multiple treatments depending on the type of the scar and the ultimate treatment goal. 

Laser scar revision may be a better longterm option for your scars. However, both options may work. Our office specializes in laser scar revision. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles
