Straight answer first
Scars Are Improved, Not Erased
You spent real money on a procedure and you are considering spending again on the scar it left. You are owed an honest answer before you book: laser treatment does not make a surgical scar disappear, and nobody's laser does.
What a scar-revision plan is directed at is appearance — the redness, the pigmentation and how much the scar stands out against the skin around it. For a lot of people that is exactly the complaint: not that the scar exists, but that it is still visibly a different colour from the rest of them.
If we look at your scar and think a series is unlikely to change much, we will say that at consultation rather than sell you one.
Scars we assess
Post-Surgical Scars, by Procedure
Every one of these must be fully healed and medically appropriate for laser treatment before a plan starts.
- 01
Abdominoplasty / tummy tuck scars
A long horizontal scar that is often still pink or dark months after surgery. Usually well healed by the time patients start thinking about appearance, which makes it a common starting point for a scar plan.
- 02
Breast augmentation scars
Inframammary, periareolar or transaxillary incisions, depending on approach. Location affects both how visible the scar is day to day and how it has healed.
- 03
Breast lift / mastopexy scars
More extensive scar patterns than augmentation alone, often anchor or lollipop shaped. Different segments of the same scar can be at different stages, and a plan accounts for that.
- 04
Breast reduction scars
Similar patterns to a lift, sometimes with more tension across parts of the closure. Tension is one of the factors that affects how a scar matures.
- 05
Liposuction access points
Small, scattered incision points rather than one long scar. Often overlooked at the time and then noticed later, particularly where they sit darker than surrounding skin.
- 06
C-section scars
Frequently the scar patients live with longest before addressing it. Colour, pigmentation and how the scar sits relative to surrounding skin are the components a laser plan is directed at.
- 07
Selected other surgical or traumatic scars
Other healed surgical scars and selected traumatic scars may be appropriate. Assessment is individual, and some scars are better served by other approaches or by no treatment at all.
What actually drives results
Seven Things That Determine How a Scar Responds
This is why nobody can quote you a result, or a session count, from a description over the phone.
- 01How old the scar is and what stage of maturation it is in
- 02Its colour — red and vascular, dark and pigmented, or pale
- 03Thickness, and whether it is raised, flat or indented
- 04Location on the body, and the tension across it
- 05The surgical technique and how the closure healed
- 06Your skin type and pigment risk
- 07Your individual healing response, including any history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring
Scar pricing
Facial Scars and Body Scars Are Priced Differently
A small facial scar and a full mastopexy scar pattern are not the same job, so we do not force them into the same package price.
Selected facial scars
Uses the standard Aerolase ladder, the same as every other concern on this platform.
- Single full-face session$500
- Signature Series of 3$1,350
- Signature Series of 5$1,800
Body & extensive post-surgical scars
Quoted as a custom scar plan from your consultation, based on the area being treated and what the scar is likely to need. Tummy tuck, breast surgery, liposuction and C-section scars usually fall here.
Custom scar planConsultation required
Book a Scar ConsultationMaintenance after a completed series is $400–$450 at the established-patient rate. Facial scar plans follow the same $500 / $1,800 structure used across every Aerolase concern.
Fitzpatrick I–VI
Designed for Every Skin Type
Aerolase Neo Elite uses a 1064 nm wavelength and 650-microsecond pulse technology designed for treatment across Fitzpatrick I–VI. Treatment settings and candidacy remain individualized according to your concern, skin response, medical history and pigment risk.
Scar work in deeper skin tones carries a specific tension: post-inflammatory pigment change is both a frequent scar complaint and a possible consequence of over-aggressive treatment. Neo Elite is designed across Fitzpatrick I–VI, and pigment risk is assessed before the first session rather than discovered after it.
What to expect
How a Scar Plan Runs
01
Confirm the scar is ready
The incision must be fully healed and medically appropriate for laser treatment. If you are still early in healing, the answer is to wait — and we would rather tell you that than start a series on a scar that is still maturing.
02
Assess what kind of scar this is
Red and vascular, dark and pigmented, raised, or indented — these respond differently and some of them respond to a different modality entirely. A history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring changes the conversation and needs raising up front.
03
Quote the plan
Selected facial scars use the standard ladder. Larger body scars and extensive post-surgical scars are quoted as a custom scar plan from the consultation, based on the area being treated and the number of sessions the scar is likely to need.
04
Your sessions
Aerolase is generally positioned as low social downtime rather than no downtime. Temporary redness, warmth or other treatment-specific reactions can occur, and what you experience is individual.
05
Reassess as it goes
Scar response is gradual and is reviewed between sessions rather than sold as a fixed course. Colour generally moves before anything else does.
Is your scar indented rather than discoloured?
Aerolase works on colour. Textural and indented scarring responds to a different mechanism — SkinPen microneedling drives a remodeling response, and many scar plans use both in sequence. Where they do, we will not credit the combined result to the laser alone.
