This is a 29 year old women who had a breast lift procedure and was unhappy with the noticable redness of her scars. She elected to have a series of fractional laser treatments to resurface the scars and increase their healing potential. She started her treatments around 4 months after her surgery, which is the perfect time to begin since the scars are still healing. Scars treated with lasers will have the best result if treated within 2 years after the incident that caused the scar (surgery or trauma), but the best results will be achieved within the first 3-6 months. Most treatments of this type are performed 2-4 weeks apart, and there is no downtime after the procedure, which takes about 15 minutes.

Scars that are less than one year old will have the most dramatic response to laser treatments, and 3-5 treatments on average are needed to produce a noticable improvement.
