UltraClear® Laser · Surgical & Traumatic Scars
Laser scar revision, in Scottsdale & Phoenix
Surgical scars, injury scars, and textural irregularities can stay more visible than they need to be. UltraClear® laser scar revision at Xynwell resurfaces and blends scar tissue so it sits closer to the surrounding skin in texture and tone — planned within a surgical practice that understands how scars form and mature.
How scars mature — and why timing matters
A scar is not finished the day the wound closes. Scar tissue remodels for months — early scars are often red, firm, and raised, then gradually flatten and fade as collagen reorganizes. Some scars never complete that journey gracefully: they stay raised, stretch wide, or hold a texture and tone that stands apart from the surrounding skin. Laser can refine a scar once healing allows, and we advise on the right window — treating at the right point in a scar's maturation matters as much as the treatment itself.
Xynwell approaches scar revision from an unusual vantage point: we are an oculofacial surgical practice devoted exclusively to the eyelids and surrounding facial structures. We create and manage incisions for a living, and we design our own to heal discreetly. That same understanding of how skin heals — and why some scars misbehave — guides every scar revision plan we build.
Q: Can a scar be removed with laser?
No scar can be truly erased — scar tissue is permanent. But laser resurfacing can significantly soften a scar's texture, blend its edges, and reduce how much it catches light and attention.
How UltraClear® revises scars
Softening, blending, refining
UltraClear® uses fractional cold fiber resurfacing to soften a scar's surface and blend its borders into the surrounding skin — smoothing the raised or irregular texture that makes a scar catch light, while stimulating new collagen where the scar tissue sits. Deep or tethered scars may benefit from Laser-Coring™, an advanced UltraClear® dermal tissue-coring technique that is particularly effective for deep scars.
Because the platform's cold ablative technology minimizes unnecessary thermal injury, settings can be tuned precisely to the scar being treated — and treatment remains appropriate for a broad range of skin types, including darker skin tones.
Powered by UltraClear®
UltraClear® is FDA-cleared as the world's first mid-infrared cold fiber laser for skin rejuvenation. Its precision energy control minimizes unnecessary thermal injury, and treatments are customizable from a light refresh to deep collagen remodeling — appropriate for a broad range of skin types, including darker skin tones.

Laser refines a scar's surface — it cannot reposition or excise a poorly placed scar. When a scar's problem is location or orientation rather than texture, surgical revision is a separate conversation we can have honestly, within the same practice. Scars from skin cancer reconstruction are a frequent request, and patients who have undergone Mohs reconstruction often benefit from laser refinement once healing allows.
Because Xynwell offers both surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation, we recommend the treatment that best matches your anatomy — not simply the newest technology.
What to expect
A scar that recedes, step by step
Your consultation begins with the scar itself — how it formed, how it has matured, and what about it bothers you most. From there, treatment settings are customized to the scar's depth, age, and location, and topical numbing keeps most treatments comfortable.
Recovery scales with treatment depth — from brief redness after lighter passes to several days of healing after deeper work. As the treated area recovers, new collagen continues building over the following weeks and months, so the scar softens and blends progressively rather than all at once.
Frequently asked questions
How soon after surgery can laser treat a scar?
Once the incision has adequately healed. The right window is individualized — it depends on the scar itself, its location, and how it is maturing — and treating too early or too late can leave improvement on the table. Advising on that timing is part of your plan, not an afterthought.
Will my scar disappear?
No — and any practice that promises otherwise isn't being honest with you. Scar tissue is permanent. What laser resurfacing can do is significantly soften a scar's texture, blend its edges into the surrounding skin, and reduce how much it catches light and attention. For many patients, that is the difference between a scar people notice and one they don't.
Does laser scar revision work on older scars?
Yes. Mature scars can still improve — laser resurfacing softens texture and blends edges even years after the original injury or surgery. The treatment plan for an older, fully matured scar may differ from that of a newer one, which is exactly what your consultation determines.
How many sessions will I need?
A series of treatments is common for scar revision, though the number depends entirely on the scar — its depth, age, location, and how it responds to early sessions. Your plan is set at consultation and refined as your skin responds.
How much does laser scar revision cost?
Xynwell is a private, cash-pay practice. Cost is determined at consultation and depends on the treatment depth, the areas treated, and the number of sessions in your plan.
