Unsightly scars have presented problems for men and women for centuries. Scars are generally considered unsightly, disfiguring and unacceptable by many people.

Scars form as part of the skin's healing process whenever multiple layers of skin are injured. The injury may be the result of an accident, surgery, a burn or even severe acne.

Technique - Scar Revision

Today, several new laser techniques are available to treat a wide variety of scars.

The laser's energy stimulates the skin under the scar and causes the fibroblasts in the skin to begin to divide again. It also stimulates the production of collagen. This thickens the skin under the scar until it closely resembles the surrounding normal skin.

Most patients do not require anesthetic. Some patients have indicated that they feel a slight tingling when the laser pulses, or that the laser pulse feels like the snap of a rubber band against the skin.

Recovery Time

Results vary from patient to patient and may not be immediate. Results from laser scar treatment are generally progressive and may require multiple treatments. If you respond to the first treatment, your second treatment will usually be as good as the first, and the third treatment will be almost as good. About 70% of patients receiving laser treatments for their scares notice a marked improvement. Newer and shallower scars respond better than older and deeper ones.

Generally, most patients experience redness and tenderness for a few days.
