How long after surgery can I have laser on incision to improve appearance?

June 12, 2019
Asked By:LosAngeles21 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm having a surgical scar (12 inches down the middle of my back) excised and revised by my surgeon. I have done my research and read some varying opinions about having laser done to revise the scar. Some studies even say literally RIGHT after the surgery that some doctors do the layering (fraxel). There are so many different angles on this, I'm wondering what other doctors say is the optimal time and what laser is best. Thank you
