Understanding Scar Revision

How Scar Revision Works

Scar revision encompasses advanced laser and energy-based treatments designed to minimize the appearance of visible scars from surgery, injury, or acne. These medical-grade procedures work by precisely targeting scar tissue, stimulating collagen regeneration, and encouraging the skin to replace damaged tissue with smoother, healthier cells.

At Colorado Skin & Vein, scar revision treatments are performed by Dr. David Verebelyi, MD, RVT, a double board-certified physician with over 20 years of specialized experience in laser medicine. Using state-of-the-art fractional and CO₂ laser technology, treatments are customized to your scar type, depth, and location—delivering results that significantly reduce scar visibility while preserving your skin’s natural texture.

Advanced Scar Treatments for Visible Results

From surgical scars to acne scarring, Colorado Skin & Vein offers proven laser treatments administered with medical precision—restoring smoother texture, even tone, and renewed confidence.

Fractional Laser Scar Revision

Advanced fractional laser technology delivers precise columns of energy into scar tissue, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the skin to replace damaged cells with healthy tissue. Effective for acne scars, surgical scars, and textured scarring. Gradual improvement over multiple sessions with minimal downtime. Results develop over 2-3 months.

CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

The Lumenis CO₂ laser offers the most powerful option for comprehensive scar revision. By precisely removing layers of damaged scar tissue while stimulating deep collagen renewal, this treatment delivers dramatic improvement in scar texture, color, and visibility. Dr. Verebelyi’s advanced expertise ensures natural, transformative results. Ideal for deeper scars and significant revision needs.

Pulsed Dye Laser (Vbeam)

The Vbeam Perfecta targets redness and discoloration in scars by addressing the vascular component. Light energy is absorbed by blood vessels within the scar, reducing redness while softening scar tissue. Particularly effective for raised scars, red scars, and recent surgical scars. Minimal discomfort with cooling technology. Results visible after 2-4 treatments.

Common Questions

Your Scar Revision Questions Answered

What types of scars can be treated?
Colorado Skin & Vein treats surgical scars, acne scars, injury-related scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic (raised) scars, atrophic (depressed) scars, and discolored or red scars. During consultation, Dr. Verebelyi evaluates your scar type to determine the most effective treatment approach.
Laser energy targets scar tissue by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural healing response. This triggers collagen production and encourages skin to replace damaged scar tissue with healthier, smoother cells, gradually improving texture, color, and overall appearance.
Most adults with visible scars are good candidates. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, are in good general health, and have scars that are fully healed. During consultation, we assess your scar characteristics, skin type, and medical history to determine candidacy.
Treatment needs vary based on scar type, depth, and age. Most patients see improvement after 2-4 fractional laser sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. CO₂ laser resurfacing may require 1-2 treatments. Dr. Verebelyi creates a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
Most patients tolerate treatments well. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and many of our lasers have built-in cooling technology. During treatment, you may feel warmth or mild prickling sensations. Discomfort is typically minimal and brief.
Results develop gradually as skin regenerates and collagen production increases. Initial improvements may be visible within 2-4 weeks, with continued enhancement over 2-3 months. Multiple treatments build upon previous results for optimal improvement.
Yes. While treating scars earlier often yields faster results, older scars respond well to laser revision. The laser’s ability to stimulate new collagen production allows for improvement regardless of scar age. Older scars may require additional treatment sessions.
While complete scar removal is rarely possible, laser revision significantly reduces scar visibility and improves texture, color, and overall appearance. Most patients see 50-80% improvement, making scars far less noticeable and more closely matched to surrounding skin.
Fractional lasers treat pinpoint fractions of scar tissue with minimal downtime, ideal for moderate scars and gradual improvement. CO₂ lasers offer more aggressive resurfacing for deeper scars and dramatic results, requiring more healing time but delivering superior improvement.
Yes. Vbeam Perfecta pulsed dye laser is particularly effective for raised, red scars including keloids. The laser targets blood vessels feeding scar tissue, reducing redness and flattening raised areas. Some cases may combine laser with steroid injections for optimal results.
Scar revision is typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance. However, if scars cause functional limitations or pain, coverage may be possible. Our team can provide documentation for insurance review if medically indicated.
