Pixel Laser for Removing Surgical Scars?

Pixel laser is an FDA-approved fractional skin resurfacing laser that addresses a variety of common skin concerns including aged and sun damaged skin, scars, wrinkles, age spot, and fine lines. It creates small microscopic wounds within the skin that heal and stimulate new collagen production that in turn tightens and smoothes out the skin's surface. Pixel laser can dramatically improve one's skin without significant downtime or discomfort.

Fractional resurfacing lasers, such as Pixel, cause collagen remodelling the dermis, which is the structural component of the skin. It is through these changes in collagen that the laser improves fine lines and wrinkling. One of the main components of scars is collagen and, thus, Pixel can help improve the appearance of scars. Pixel seems to be best at flattening out lumpy scars. To acheive this goals, a number of treatments are needed -- we often perform 4 to 6 treatments on a monthly basis.
There is nothing that can make a scar disappear, but Pixel laser can help to improve a scars appearance.
