The risk of scarring is also minimal, but an infection would raise the risk, so follow the aftercare instructions and monitor yourself as noted above. If your LifTyte treatment area has any scabbing, leave it alone. Your body’s healing responses have been working hard on what it sees as an injury or wound.  Let it rebuild the tissue under the skin into a wrinkle-free, acne-free zone. If at all possible, don't cover any scabbing that crops up. It will put you at risk of infection and scarring.
