How long does it take for a laser scar to return to normal?
Laser scar removal generally refers to the use of specific wavelengths of laser to penetrate the epidermis and target deeper scar tissues, thereby improving or eliminating scars. The general reference price for laser scar removal ranges from 3000 to 7000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can generally be seen after 1 to 3 months. Full recovery from laser scar removal usually takes about 3 to 6 months, although the exact time may vary. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
Initial improvement after laser scar removal can typically be seen within 7 to 14 days, but complete recovery may take several weeks to several months, depending on individual circumstances. Usually, the full recovery period is about 3 to 6 months. Superficial scars or scars of smaller size tend to recover faster and respond better to laser treatment. Individuals with better physical conditions and stronger skin regeneration abilities usually experience quicker recovery after laser treatment.
Hypertrophic scars or larger scar areas may require multiple laser treatments and have relatively longer recovery times. If an individual has a weaker constitution and slower skin healing, this may increase treatment difficulty and prolong recovery. Women should avoid treatment during menstruation due to relatively lower immunity and reduced blood clotting function during this period.
If there is acute inflammation or infection in the scar area, the inflammation or infection should be treated first, and laser treatment should only be considered after full recovery. After laser scar removal, it is important to keep the skin clean and avoid infection.
