Can a C02 fractional laser or Infini RF remove a hypopigmented burn scar? (photo)

Thank you for your close up photo of your hypo-pigmented burn scar.

Fractional CO2 Lasers or INFINI RF can be used as part of a combination of treatments for removing hypo-pigmented scars.

This being said, Fractional CO2 Lasers or INFINI RF are more effective for depressed, atrophic scars like box-scar/rolling acne scars.

Hypopigmentation after burns is due to the dysregulation of melanin production after injury to melanocytes. Hence, topical treatments are also important to assist with re-pigmentation.

To get best results, multiple sessions of a combination of lasers and topical treatments are key for re-pigmentation of a hypo-pigmented burn scar.

Hope that this helps!

Warmest regards,
