Is it possible to remove them using dermabrasion? CO2 laser?
Answer: Treatment of forehead and scalp scars with lasers I would not risk further scarring with dermabrasion, but have achieved great longterm results with fractional lasers and resurfacing. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Answer: Dermabrasion Thank you for your question. Dermabrasion is an excellent option for addressing scars from FUE and FUT. Dermabrasion is engineered to correct any skin irregularities and improve scars. I suggest that you consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

Answer: Fractional Microneedle Resurfacing (aka Medical Microneedling) Works Well For Improving Skin Tone & Texture Unfortunately, there is currently no way to completely eliminate any types of fully matured (more than three months old) scars. Happily, however, we can often improve their appearance or camouflage them significantly.Traditional automatic dermabrasion or manual dermasanding are both useful for smoothing textural irregularities and superficial scars. However, both techniques engender significant post-treatment healing downtime. I have personally found a series of two to four medical microneedling treatments spaced at six week intervals to be particularly useful for blending skin tone and texture problems with little or no downtime and little to no post-treatment discomfort. I would suggest consultation with a board certified aesthetic physician with skill and experience in all forms of scar treatments.

Answer: Dermabrasion Dermabrasion is a technique that uses a wire brush or a diamond wheel with rough edges (called a burr or fraise) to remove the upper layers of the skin. The brush or burr rotates rapidly, taking off and leveling the top layers of the skin. This process injures or wounds the skin and causes it to bleed. As the wound heals, new skin grows to replace the damaged skin that was removed during dermabrasion.
