How long does it take to recover from laser scar removal?

Laser scar removal utilizes the photothermal effect of laser to repair and reshape scar tissue. The general reference price for laser scar removal ranges from 2000 to 6000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can usually be seen after 3-6 months. The typical recovery period for laser scar removal is 3-12 months, although the exact duration may vary among individuals. If discomfort occurs, timely medical consultation is recommended.

The time required for laser scar removal to show results depends on the type, size, location of the scar, and individual differences. Generally, mild scars may show initial improvement about a week after the first treatment, but complete recovery may take 3-12 months. More severe scars may take several weeks to months before showing improvement, and multiple treatments may be needed to achieve optimal results.

Initial recovery typically takes 1-3 months, during which redness and swelling gradually subside, surface scabs fall off, the scar's color fades, and its texture improves. Between 3-6 months, deeper skin repair continues, with newly generated collagen continuously filling in the scar tissue, making the scar flatter, softer, and closer in color to surrounding normal skin. Some individuals may require about 12 months for full recovery.

It is recommended to follow medical advice regarding medication and maintain healthy dietary habits, avoiding spicy foods. Keep the treated area clean, avoid contact with water, and prevent infection.
