Scar Revision Methods and Price Reference:

Comparison Item / Procedure	Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy	Fractional Laser	Microcrystal Dermabrasion Surgery
Reference Price	4,500–6,000 yuan/session	1,000–5,000 yuan/session	2,500–9,000 yuan/session
Principle	Uses low temperature to cause vascular occlusion within scar tissue and necrosis of proliferating cells, leading to scar contraction and achieving therapeutic effect	Uses laser to create microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin, stimulating the skin's natural healing process	Microcrystals abrade the deep epidermis, stimulating rapid renewal of collagen and fibrous tissue, instantly vaporizing or destroying skin cells to achieve scar removal
Suitable Candidates	Superficial hypertrophic scars	Suitable for various types of scars	Suitable for various types of scars and related lesions
Recovery Period	15–20 days	5–7 days	7–15 days
Duration of Results	2–3 years	2–3 years	2–3 years
Risks	1. Local tissue damage and necrosis 2. Numbness	1. Hyperpigmentation 2. Infection	1. Infection and swelling 2. Scar hypertrophy

Factors Affecting Cost:

1. Scar Size: Larger scars require more materials, labor, treatment resources, and time, resulting in higher overall costs.

2. Number of Treatments: The greater the number of sessions required, the higher the total cost.

3. Physician Expertise: Highly skilled and experienced doctors can provide more precise and effective treatments, which may result in higher fees.
