Postoperative scar laser removal treatments are based on the use of fractional laser light to create microcolumns of coagulated tissue, reaching deep into the skin without ablation of the epidermis. The use of laser pulses stimulates the natural tissue healing response by coagulating the scar tissue. A new, healthy skin is formed in the place of damaged skin cells. This significantly improves the appearance of scar tissue, which smoothes and regains its elasticity.
