To remove surgical scars on the face, you can apply some scar removal ointment; prolonged use can help eliminate the scars. Facial scars can also be treated with intense pulsed light (IPL). This method uses photothermal principles during treatment to repair scar tissue, thereby achieving scar reduction. Recovery typically takes one to two months after the procedure.
