When it comes to surgery — whether on the body or face — skin quality matters. Collagen density, elasticity, and dermal strength all play a role in how your skin recovers, responds to incisions, and forms scars.
At Avery Aesthetics, our medical-grade laser and device-based treatments are integrated into surgical care plans under the guidance of Dr Gary Avery, both before surgery to help condition the skin and after surgery to assist in optimising scar outcomes and supporting skin health during healing.
While most medical grade laser and light treatments must be carefully timed and considered to avoid UV exposure, when treating areas of the body that are typically covered – such as abdomen or thighs – laser therapies can often be performed year-round. In these instances, timing depends less on the season, and more on where you are in your surgical journey — and what your skin needs.
Why skin conditioning matters for surgical skin
Surgery places unique demands on your skin’s underlying structure. Whether your surgery is being performed on the body or the face, dermal preparation (before) and targeted support (after) can influence the results of your scarring. We use lasers to –
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Enhance dermal resilience and circulation
- Support wound healing
- Improve scar texture and colour
Timing & personalisation are key
Every patient is different, as is every surgical journey. That’s why your treatment plan at Avery Aesthetics is tailored to your surgical timeline, skin health, and individual goals. Whether you are months out from a procedure or in the final stages of recovery, our lasers are chosen to work with your skin.
