Skin Graft - Laser treatment to improve colour

Hi

I had a BCC removed from my nose in January and had a skin graft to repair the 3cm x 3cm that was removed. The graft has improved so much over the 4 months since. Today I had an appointment with an NHS Plastic Surgeon to suggest the next steps to try and improve the appearance of the graft. The colour match is not great - the graft was taken from my collarbone area.

They have suggested laser therapy as a first step but unfortunately, this is not available on the NHS. I wondered if anyone has any experience of this and what the costs might be?

Many thanks.

  • Hi Sammies, 

    Unfortunately it looks like no-one with experience of laser therapy was around at the time Jen made her post but fingers crossed she will return to let you know how she got on.

    Both of our posts on this discussion may encourage others who are now on this journey to pop by and share their experiences as well but if you'd prefer to start your own discussion about this, you can find out how just here.

    All the best,
