Scar Revision
How Laser Scar Revision Works
Scars form when the body heals a wound and deposits collagen in a pattern that differs from the surrounding skin. Whether from acne, surgery, injury, or stretch marks, the result is often a visible change in texture, tone, or depth that can feel difficult to address. Fotona laser scar revision uses precise laser energy to break down the disorganized scar tissue and stimulate the growth of new, healthier collagen in its place.
The laser penetrates to the level where the scar tissue lives, gently remodeling it from within while leaving the surrounding skin intact. Over a series of sessions, the treated area gradually becomes smoother, more even in tone, and better integrated with the texture of the surrounding skin. It is a process that takes time, but the improvements are real and lasting.
What Scars Can Be Treated?
Fotona laser scar revision is effective for a wide variety of scar types, including atrophic acne scars, hypertrophic scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Acne scars in particular respond very well because the laser can target the depressed areas and stimulate the body to fill them in with new collagen over time. Even scars that have been present for years can see meaningful improvement with the right treatment protocol.
The treatment is customized to the specific type and depth of each scar, which means your provider can adjust the approach based on what your skin actually needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all setting. This level of precision is one of the reasons Fotona is such a respected platform for scar work. Results build progressively, and many clients find that their skin looks not just less scarred but genuinely healthier overall.

What makes scar revision with Fotona so effective.

What types of scars can be treated?
Results vary by scar type and severity. Acne scars and surgical scars tend to respond very well. Your provider will give you a realistic expectation at your consultation.
How many sessions are typically needed?
A series of three to six sessions is typically recommended, spaced four to six weeks apart, to allow the skin time to heal and remodel between treatments.
What is the recovery like?
Some mild redness and sensitivity for one to three days is normal. The treatment is not ablative, so the surface of the skin stays intact and downtime is minimal.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Laser scar revision pairs well with microneedling, PRF, and topical treatments. Your provider can recommend a combined approach for your specific concerns.
