Depending on the type of surgery, whether it is laser or dermabrasion it will take time to heal, with dermabrasion taking seven to ten days for the healing process. Even after the healing process it often takes several months to see the full result of the scar removal.
This is because it takes time for the skin and tissue to heal properly, even when the outer skin appears to be healed. Within six months there will usually be a dramatic change in the skin when comparing before the surgery and this amount of time afterwards.
In cases of laser surgery, people can see results as long as 18 months afterwards, and this is due to the tissue repairing itself under the skin, because it has been altered during surgery and will take a longer amount of time for the healing process. |
