Would Fraxel laser damage my implants?

Fraxel laser treatments only affect the skin, and implants are generally placed far enough under the skin that there should be no problem with the treatment. Fraxel treatments can help with the appearance of scars, and have been used before on implant scars with no adverse effect on the implant itself.We often combine this with a pulse dye laser, as this will help the redness of the scar, which is often also problematic.

Thank you for submitting your question.   I use the fraxel laser on all of my post operative scars at 2-3 weeks post op.  The laser will not affect your implants and the depth is at the level of the skin between 0.4mm-2.0mm depending on the settings).  Good Luck

Fraxel is a great laser but should not penetrate the implants.  The laser does not penetrate that deeply so it should have no effect.  I do Fraxel on scars such as these all of the time and it works very well.  Best, Dr. Green
