Non ablative lasers for scars?

February 22, 2023
Asked By:Trustworthy4206 in Roma, Lazio, Italy

I had surgery in December 2021 and I now have two scars that healed well BUT their upper border is thick and raised. I have two questions: - can the border flatten in the future? Even if it takes years to happen? - I read about non ablative lasers (1565 nm) for scars like mine and I found promising scientific articles. Could this be useful?
