ProFractional™ + BBL® for Surgical Scars — Boise & Meridian
Improve scar texture, redness, and discoloration with a customized combination treatment.
ProFractional fractional laser resurfacing targets scar texture and stimulates new collagen. BBL addresses visible redness and unwanted pigmentation. Together, a more comprehensive approach to scar improvement.
ProFractional + BBL Scar Treatment
Scar Treatment Requires More Than Simply Choosing a Laser
Scars are a normal part of healing, but some remain more noticeable because of differences in texture, redness, pigmentation, or overall appearance. A scar can be noticeable for more than one reason — and that's why a single-technology approach doesn't always provide the most comprehensive result.
At Treasure Valley Medical Spa, our laser scar treatment combines ProFractional™ Therapy with BBL® BroadBand Light to address more than one characteristic of a scar. ProFractional provides targeted fractional resurfacing to improve scar texture and stimulate new collagen. BBL addresses visible redness and unwanted pigmentation.
Together, these technologies allow us to create a more comprehensive scar-treatment plan for eligible scars up to 10 cm in length.
The goal is not to treat every scar the same way — it's to identify why the scar is noticeable and build the treatment around that.
Why Combine ProFractional + BBL?
Texture + Color — Addressed Together
Combining ProFractional and BBL allows your provider to address multiple scar characteristics in one treatment plan rather than asking one technology to do everything.
ProFractional
Texture & Resurfacing
ProFractional uses fractional laser resurfacing to create microscopic treatment zones and stimulate new collagen through the skin's natural healing response. Only a fraction of the skin is directly treated — surrounding untreated tissue supports rapid healing.
Commonly used for scars with textural irregularity, surface roughness, or firmness differences
BBL
Redness & Pigmentation
BBL BroadBand Light can address the vascular and pigmented components of a scar. For a scar that remains red, pink, or discolored, BBL can be incorporated to address the color component specifically.
Targets visible redness, pink discoloration, and unwanted pigmentation
Together
A More Complete Scar Treatment
When scar texture and color are both concerns, combining the two technologies allows your provider to address both — rather than leaving one characteristic untreated.
Fractional Laser Creates Pinpoint Treatment Zones
A tiny laser beam creates controlled microscopic channels in the scar and surrounding treatment area — treating thousands of pinpoint areas per pass.
Untreated Skin Supports Faster Healing
Because only a fraction of the skin is treated directly, surrounding untreated tissue remains available to support the healing process — allowing more rapid recovery than full surface resurfacing.
Wound-Healing Response Stimulates New Collagen
As your skin heals, its natural wound-healing response creates new collagen — improving scar texture, surface irregularity, firmness, resilience, and how well the scar integrates with surrounding skin.
BBL Addresses Redness & Pigmentation
When redness, pink discoloration, or uneven pigmentation also contribute to the scar's appearance, BBL BroadBand Light is added to target those vascular and pigmented components.
What Types of Scars Can Be Evaluated?
Scars Where Texture, Redness, or Pigmentation Contribute to Their Appearance
Not every scar is appropriate for the same treatment. Your provider will examine the scar and recommend an approach based on its individual characteristics. Scars that may be evaluated include:
- Surgical scars
- Plastic surgery scars
- Breast surgery scars
- Abdominal surgery scars
- Facial surgical scars
- Orthopedic surgery scars
- Scars following injury
- Red or pink scars
- Pigmented scars
- Texturally uneven scars
Complimentary for Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery Patients
We believe scar care should be considered part of the overall surgical result. Patients who undergo surgery with Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery receive a complimentary ProFractional + BBL treatment for eligible surgical scars up to 10 cm.
Your Laser Scar Treatment Journey
At Treasure Valley Medical Spa
Every scar has its own characteristics. Treatment begins with an evaluation — not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Scar Evaluation
Treatment begins with an evaluation of your scar — looking at texture, redness, pigmentation, thickness, scar age, location, length, and healing progress. For Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery patients, this evaluation can be incorporated into postoperative care.
Create a Personalized Plan
Your provider may recommend ProFractional, BBL, or the combination — depending on the characteristics of your scar. A scar with primarily textural irregularity may require more ProFractional emphasis. A red or pigmented scar may benefit from more BBL treatment.
Improve Texture With ProFractional
ProFractional creates thousands of pinpoint treatment zones within the scar. The untreated skin between those zones helps support rapid healing. The resulting wound-healing response stimulates new collagen and supports gradual remodeling of the treated area.
Address Redness or Pigmentation With BBL
If redness or unwanted pigmentation contributes to the appearance of the scar, BBL is used as part of the treatment. BroadBand Light targets the vascular or pigmented component while ProFractional addresses texture.
Allow the Scar to Continue Remodeling
Scar improvement is gradual. Collagen production and scar maturation continue over time, so results are best evaluated over weeks and months. Some scars respond well to one session; others may benefit from multiple treatments.
What Results Can I Expect?
Improve the Appearance of the Scar — Not Remove It
A scar is permanent, and no laser treatment can guarantee complete removal. The purpose of treatment is to make the scar less noticeable — improving specific characteristics while helping it blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Results vary from patient to patient and depend on the scar itself, treatment plan, and healing response. Scar remodeling and collagen production take time, so results develop progressively rather than immediately.
Depending on scar characteristics, treatment may help improve:
- Texture and surface smoothness
- Redness and pink discoloration
- Uneven pigmentation
- Firmness and resilience
- How well the scar blends with nearby skin
- Overall visibility

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Scar Treatment
What is ProFractional Therapy?
ProFractional Therapy is a fractional laser resurfacing procedure that treats thousands of pinpoint areas in the skin. Only a fraction of the skin is directly treated, while surrounding untreated tissue helps promote rapid healing. The wound-healing response creates new collagen, which can improve skin firmness, resilience, and texture.
Is ProFractional used for scars?
Yes. Scars are one of the primary applications for ProFractional when fractional resurfacing with relatively limited downtime is desired.
How does ProFractional improve scars?
ProFractional creates microscopic treatment zones within the scar. Surrounding untreated tissue supports healing, while the skin's wound-healing response stimulates new collagen. This can gradually improve texture, firmness, and the way the scar blends with surrounding skin.
Why is BBL added to ProFractional?
ProFractional primarily addresses texture and resurfacing. BBL can address redness and pigmentation. Combining them allows your provider to target more than one characteristic of a scar.
Can ProFractional treat red scars?
ProFractional may improve scar texture, but visible redness is often better addressed with BBL. That is why the two technologies may be combined.
Will my scar disappear completely?
No. Laser treatment is intended to improve the appearance of a scar, not eliminate it. A scar is permanent, and no laser treatment can guarantee complete removal — the purpose is to make the scar less noticeable.
How many treatments will I need?
Some scars may respond to one treatment, while others benefit from multiple sessions. The number depends on the scar's characteristics and your response to treatment.
Is scar treatment included after surgery at Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery?
Yes, for eligible scars up to 10 cm. Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery patients receive one complimentary ProFractional + BBL scar treatment, followed by up to three additional treatments for $150 each if recommended.

Yes. Patients from other practices may receive qualifying scar treatments for $450 per session for scars up to 10 cm.
How large of a scar is included in this pricing?
The listed pricing applies to scars measuring up to 10 cm. Larger scars require individual evaluation.
Can breast surgery scars be treated?
Breast surgery scars may be evaluated for treatment depending on their location, healing, texture, and color.
Can tummy tuck scars be treated?
Abdominal surgical scars may be evaluated, but the standard pricing applies only to scars up to 10 cm. Longer scars require an individualized treatment plan.
When can scar laser treatment begin after surgery?
Treatment timing depends on how the incision is healing. Your surgeon or provider will determine when the scar is ready for treatment.
Is there downtime after ProFractional scar treatment?
ProFractional is designed to provide resurfacing with relatively limited downtime, but recovery varies according to treatment settings, treatment area, and individual response. Your provider will explain what to expect before treatment.
