Surgical Scars + Fraxel: Improving Scar Appearance

Summary

Surgical scars are a natural part of healing, but they don’t have to be permanent reminders. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Vancouver, Fraxel laser therapy offers an advanced, non-invasive way to soften and minimize the appearance of post-surgical scars. By stimulating collagen production and gently resurfacing the skin, Fraxel helps scars blend more seamlessly with the surrounding tissue. Whether your scar is recent or years old, Fraxel can improve texture, tone, and overall skin appearance. Contact Rejuvenation Dermatology to schedule your consultation and learn how Fraxel can help you feel more confident in your skin again. 

From Recovery to Restoration: Fraxel for Scar Revision

Surgeries can be life-changing for all the right reasons—but the lasting scars they leave behind aren’t always welcome. Whether from a C-section, joint surgery, or elective cosmetic procedure, surgical scars can impact how you feel in your body and your skin.

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we believe that healing should include more than just recovery—it should include restoration. That’s why we offer Fraxel laser therapy: a proven technology that supports scar revision by working beneath the skin’s surface.

How Surgical Scars Form

Scarring is the body’s natural response to injury, including surgical incisions. As skin heals, collagen forms rapidly in a structured—but often uneven—way. This can lead to raised, indented, or pigmented scars depending on your skin type and how the wound closed.

While time may soften some of the appearance, surgical scars rarely disappear without intervention. Many patients turn to topical solutions first, but these can’t reach deep enough to remodel scar tissue effectively.

Why Fraxel is Effective for Scar Treatment

Fraxel uses fractional laser energy to target tiny areas within the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This process creates micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural healing process—encouraging smoother collagen formation and gradually replacing scar tissue with healthier skin.

Unlike ablative lasers that require more downtime, Fraxel offers real results with minimal disruption. It can be used on both newer scars and older, more stubborn marks—helping to improve tone, texture, and pigmentation.

Personalized Treatment for Visible Results 

At Rejuvenation Dermatology, each Fraxel treatment plan is tailored to the individual scar, taking into account location, age, colour, and depth. Our dermatology team ensures that sessions are spaced appropriately and adjusted for your skin’s sensitivity and goals.

Whether your scar is affecting your confidence in a swimsuit, everyday clothing, or close-up moments, we’re here to help you move forward—without reminders holding you back.
