- For optimal results, lasers are recommended to be used on early cutting scars.
- Vascular lasers are typically spaced out 4-6 weeks apart and can effectively decrease redness and promote collagen remodeling.
- Fractional lasers are suitable for treating both early and established cutting scars. Examples of fractional devices include Picosecond lasers, Fraxel, and Alma Hybrid laser.
- The goal of using lasers on self-harm scars is to address both colour and contour of the scar tissue.

Best for
Mild cases or isolated vessels.
How It Works

Results
Treated vessels may disappear immediately or gradually fade over several weeks.
