Maybe they're just not as effective?

5 hours ago, can i get a new life please said:

The most effective one is excision how You need only 1 treatment and they became thin lines thats why they dont perform, they cant squeeze the customers.

Yeah sure , if it worked that way , we d all get all our scars excised and Thats it , sadly it doesnt work like that , excision and punch excision is unpredictable , u may end up with worse scar then before

I think for smaller indents it is predictable but once you start excising big areas thats when it starts to become more unpredictable. As such a simple rule to follow is go for excision only for deep indents. There was a study done by one doctor where he combined20 to 30 excision with co2 fractional laser and the results was it didn't leave with any visible excision line. Shallow to moderate scars are best for normal scar revision practices like laser, subcision, deep peel, cross etc.
