Treatments · Surgical scars
Refine the scar, not just the surface.
For plastic surgeons, dermatologists and clinics that follow patients after a procedure: a fractional CO₂ pathway for scar texture and blending.
The category
Part of a broader scar-management plan.
Surgical scars may involve texture change, raised or depressed areas, redness and irregular surface quality.
Surgical scars
Texture, relief and blending with the surrounding skin.
Traumatic scars
Surface irregularity after injury.
Post-procedure scars
Texture refinement after a procedure.
Raised or uneven edges
Softening edges within a broader plan.
Selected body scars
Depending on area, maturity and skin type.
How Alexa applies
Density and depth matched to each scar.
The fractional scanner, with customizable scan shapes, treats narrow or irregular areas precisely. A Deep strategy targets structure; a Hybrid strategy blends edge texture.
Selection & recovery
Caution first.
Keloid history
A history of hypertrophic or keloid scarring is a risk factor to assess before any treatment.
Skin type
More conservative planning as Fitzpatrick type rises; pigment change can be delayed.
Coordination
Treatment fits within the follow-up of the provider responsible for the patient.
The business angle
Keep the patient in your practice.
For a plastic-surgery practice, scar refinement and post-surgical skin quality extend the patient relationship naturally — on the same device used for resurfacing and, where appropriate, periocular rejuvenation.

Is fractional CO₂ suitable for surgical scars?
Alexa CO₂ Aesthetic may support selected surgical scar refinement protocols by improving texture, surface irregularity and scar blending as part of a broader scar-management plan.
When can a scar be treated?
Timing depends on scar maturity, area and the judgment of the clinician managing the patient. That decision belongs to the treating provider.
Are body scars eligible?
Some are, depending on the area, skin thickness and skin type. Body areas are often planned more conservatively than the face.
Will the scar disappear?
No. The goal is better texture and blending, not erasing the scar. Results vary between patients.
