Is there much scarring with Laser Skin Resurfacing?
There may be redness and hyperpigmentation and sometimes even hypopigmentation but there are usually no real scars if performed by a qualified surgeon. Care should be taken to evaluate your skin for possible hypertrophic or keloid scarring possibilities. There is a possibility of an obvious demarcation (line) where the laser passes and where it does not, so care should be taken by the surgeon to make light sweeps instead of deep passes. Unfortunately there are risks that unusual scarring may result if you are not truthful or do not have knowledge of your heritage or family’s scarring background.
