Scar reduction treatments typically last no more than 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. In most cases, during your treatment, you will feel tiny pins on your skin followed by a little zap and a warm sensation. Scar reduction treatments may be slightly uncomfortable but not painful.

There is very little downtime associated with scar reduction, and you can return to most day-to-day activities immediately following treatment. The treated area will be red and warm, similar to a sunburn, which should subside within 24 hours; you can ease this by fanning or exposing the area to cool air. Keep the treated area clean and protected from the sun and avoid rubbing, scratching, or applying anything to the skin, even water, for 24 hours following treatment. After 24 hours, you may apply makeup and resume your regular skincare routine. Avoid vigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treated area for 48 hours following treatment. We recommend applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. In many cases, we will recommend the addition of a topical anti-scar gel or silicone gel sheeting to complete your treatment.

Caring for your skin at home is key to achieving the best possible scar reduction results. In addition to the use of a topical anti-scar gel, we recommend incorporating Skinbetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment™ in the morning and evening after cleansing to support nourished and healthy skin. We recommend waiting 24 hours after your in-office treatment before applying any products.
