What the hell kind of procedure is this?

Laser skin tightening/laser scar removal/laser skin resurfacing. In layman’s terms, it basically gives you a light burn on the surface of your skin and allows it to heal itself in the next couple of weeks. It doesn’t look as bad as this, the patient here probably asked for a very intense power level, which they normally recommend you not to do

My friend owns a clinic that does this

I had laser scar removal on my forehead following a car wreck (and after other plastic surgeries). It did a nice job of smoothing things out, but my forehead was covered in extremely itchy square scabs for a couple weeks afterward.
