Clinical explanation of scar formation and why laser remodelling produces lasting improvement.
A scar is an area where normal dermal architecture has been replaced by disorganised fibrous tissue (collagen type III rather than the structured type I/III balance of normal skin). This fibrous tissue creates the visual and textural irregularities patients seek to address.
Fractional fiber laser creates micro-thermal zones in the scar tissue — precisely disrupting the disorganised fibrous collagen matrix. As these zones heal, fibroblasts produce new, more organised collagen — gradually replacing the scar texture with healthier skin architecture.
Each session remodels a fraction of the scar tissue. Multiple sessions allow progressive improvement — each building on the last. This is why 3–6 sessions produce cumulative results rather than a single dramatic change.
