It's Day 3 and my lip is still swollen but it's getting better. Cleaning my stitches.

My dad cleaning my stitches for me.

I'm not in a good mood.

Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance. Scars may be raised or recessed, different in color or texture from surrounding healthy tissue or particularly noticeable due to their size, shape or location.

I was wondering what the pulse dye laser was for? speed up healing or just make it look better? I am dark skinned to and got into a car accident, which I am looking into improving my scars. Thanks.

Hello,

The pulse dye laser is used to help with the healing process and eliminate issues related to blood vessels. It would be best for you to consult a dermatologist, as he/she may be able to give you the best advice for your condition after performing an examination. Thank you for the question, and best of luck.

Were your stitches dissolvable? If so, how long did they take to dissolve?
