Laser Scar Revision in Rancho Santa Margarita

Smooth, fade, and refine the appearance of scars — without surgery.

Advanced Laser Technology for Scar Reduction

Scars can be a lasting reminder of acne, surgery, injuries, or skin conditions, but they don’t have to be permanent. At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio, we offer non-surgical scar revision treatments using the Fotona Dynamis Pro fractional Er:YAG laser, helping to improve texture, color, and depth of scars over time.

Whether you’re dealing with old or new scarring, Dr. Ali Hamidi customizes your treatment to support the skin’s natural healing and stimulate collagen remodeling, so you can move forward with smoother, more even skin.

Types of Scars We Treat

Laser scar revision is effective for:

  • Acne scars (icepick, boxcar, rolling)
  • Surgical scars
  • Traumatic injury scars
  • Burn scars
  • Stretch marks (striae)
  • Keloid or hypertrophic scars (in select cases)
  • Pigmented or red post-inflammatory scars

Scars may be treated on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, back, or limbs, depending on location and skin type.

How Laser Scar Revision Works

We use Fotona’s Er:YAG fractional laser to gently resurface scarred tissue by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s healing response, breaking down fibrous scar tissue and stimulating new collagen production in the treated area.

The result is smoother, more uniform skin texture and reduced visibility of the scar.

For discoloration or redness, the Nd:YAG laser may also be used to reduce vascular and pigmented irregularities.

Benefits of Laser Scar Revision

  • Minimizes the appearance of raised or indented scars
  • Evens out skin tone and improves discoloration
  • Softens texture for smoother skin
  • Non-invasive with no incisions or sutures
  • Minimal to no downtime
  • Effective on both older and newer scars
  • Custom treatment plans by Dr. Hamidi

For deeper or more stubborn scars, laser revision may be paired with microneedling, PRP, or exosome therapy for enhanced skin regeneration.

What to Expect

  • Treatments are performed in-office and take about 30–60 minutes
  • Numbing may be used for deeper resurfacing
  • Mild redness or flaking may occur for 1–3 days, depending on intensity
  • Visible improvement typically begins after the second session, with continued collagen remodeling over time
  • Most patients need a series of 3–5 treatments for optimal results

Dr. Hamidi will assess your scar type, skin condition, and desired outcome to create a safe, effective treatment plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Scar revision may be right for you if you:

  • Have visible scars that affect your confidence
  • Are looking for a non-surgical approach to scar improvement
  • Want to reduce uneven skin texture and tone
  • Are in generally good health with realistic expectations
  • Have not responded well to topical or other treatments
