Scars that have a rough or elevated appearance may be smoothed by a device called a short-pulse carbon dioxide laser. The laser emits powerful bursts of high-intensity light that vaporize the scar tissue with little or no damage to surrounding areas of the skin. In some cases, raised or bumpy scars may be treated with dermabrasion (a facial sanding technique.)
