Laser Scar Reduction

Facial scars are unsightly and can cause major embarrassment and distress, particularly scars that are difficult to cover with makeup. Scars vary in shape and size. They may start out red and thick and fade over time, or turn flat, sunken, or lumpy — leading you to wonder whether it is possible to eliminate them. Laser Scar Reduction treatment can significantly fade the appearance of most types of scars including acne and surgical scars. The powerful laser energy targets scar tissues and stimulates new skin cell production to replace the scar tissue and laser-damaged areas. As new tissues naturally develop, the surrounding skin is not damaged. Laser Scar Reduction is suitable for all areas, including the face.

Procedure

Laser Scar Reduction uses fractional laser light to break down scar tissue and trigger healthy new tissue to form at the site. The newly-formed collagen fills in facial scars and provides a more even, smoother facial appearance. The procedure also removes the top layer of skin, exposing the healthy skin underneath. This noninvasive procedure is fast and simple procedure with little to no downtime and minimal discomfort. It results in a dramatic improvement in the appearance of scars, to a point where they are barely visible. Patients who undergo the procedure usually can resume their normal activities immediately following the session, making this a simple procedure that fits today’s busy lifestyles.
