Scar Treatment & Prevention with RecoSMA®

RecoSMA® is LINLINE’s non-thermal laser method to treat existing scars and help prevent problematic scarring after surgery, trauma, or burns. It combines precise surface micro-ablation with deep, non-thermal acoustic micro-stimulation that encourages the body to replace fibrotic scar tissue with healthier, functional tissue over a course of sessions.

How it works

Surface precision. The SMA module splits the Er:YAG beam into thousands of micro-beams (micro-spots ≤50 µm, up to ~10,000/cm²), creating pinpoint micro-ablations.
Deep, non-thermal effect. Each micro-event launches acoustic waves producing microscopic non-thermal injuries in the dermis that remodel fibrous collagen and stimulate regeneration.
Tissue replacement—not just smoothing. With appropriate energy settings, RecoSMA® can destroy part of the fibrotic matrix and promote growth of functional tissue in its place—distinct from purely thermal methods.

What we treat

Post-traumatic & post-surgical scars (atrophic, normotrophic, hypertrophic): smoothing borders, reducing density/volume, improving colour.
Post-burn scars: early and mature cases can be addressed within the same RecoSMA® framework (see prevention for early timing).
Stretch marks: objective gains in elasticity, colour, dermal thickness, and POSAS scores after a course ot treatment.

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

Course of treatment & how scars change

It takes a course. Scars fade gradually: with each session the colour softens, surface level aligns with neighbouring skin, and elasticity normalises. Clinical examples document relief smoothing and border blending after RecoSMA sessions or Er:YAG ablation where indicated.
Personalized plan. Series and intervals are tailored to scar type/size.

Keloid scars: combined care

We do treat keloids. Best results typically use combination therapy:

Reduce the vascular supply first with vascular coagulation (on MULTILINE™, this is the Nd:YAP/KTP 540 nm emitter with LINLINE’s TCT method to increase selectivity).
Follow with RecoSMA® to remodel fibrous tissue and smooth the contour.

Prevention: treat early to guide healing

Early, protocol-guided use of RecoSMA® can shift healing toward functional tissue instead of scar:

Start as early as possible after injury/surgery/burn—ideally from week 1, under specialist supervision.
In fresh scars with strong redness, begin with vascular coagulation to calm the vascular component and promote orderly maturation; then add RecoSMA® to suppress excessive collagen build-up and blend borders.

What a session is like

Comfort: usually no anaesthesia is required; sensations are brief warmth/tingling.

Downtime: typically several days.
Results: progressive improvement in colour, surface, and elasticity over weeks–months as collagen remodels.

Benefits

For patients

Visible improvement in colour, texture, and contour; smoother transitions with surrounding skin.
Not just resurfacing: method reduces fibrotic tissue and supports functional tissue formation—for a more natural look and feel.
Comfortable, quick recovery: usually no anaesthesia; ~3–5 days social downtime typical.
Suitable across any skin tones; reported no PIH.

For practitioners

One method, many scar types: atrophic, normotrophic, hypertrophic, post-traumatic, post-burn, post-surgical, striae.
Photomechanical remodeling reaches deep without broad thermal damage; parameters allow destructive or stimulating modes as needed.
Algorithm-friendly combinations: vascular coagulation (e.g., TCT/540 nm) for red, immature scars and keloids; pigment tools for hyperpigmented areas—all on the same base unit.
Efficient workflow: preset protocols, no disposable tips, rapid room turnover.

Safety

Published cohorts and clinic experience report high tolerance and no adverse events under study conditions. Standard laser safety (eye protection; antiviral prophylaxis when indicated) applies.

How it fits your clinic (MULTILINE™ platform)

RecoSMA® runs by attaching the SMA module to the Er:YAG 2.94 µm emitter on the MULTILINE™ base unit. The same platform hosts vascular (e.g., TCT), pigment, and hair modules, so you can stage or combine scar care—from early prevention to late remodeling—within one system.

Key takeaways

Treats and prevents scars (post-traumatic, post-surgical, post-burn, striae).
Replaces fibrotic tissue with functional tissue over a course of sessions; colour fades, level aligns, elasticity normalises.
Keloids: combine vascular coagulation (TCT/540 nm) to reduce blood supply with RecoSMA® to remodel the fibrous core and help prevent regrowth.
