Laser scar removal is a non-invasive, advanced approach to scar treatment that offers excellent results. After few sittings scars are much better and skin looks smoother.
How does laser scar treatment work?
Laser scar treatment uses light rays to partially damage collagen in scarred area. Then the body’s natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh, new collagen and elastin – the crucial building blocks of normal-looking skin.
Several different types of technology exist like Fractional CO2 laser, Fractional Erbium Glass laser, Microneedling RF. Basic principle is same in all these lasers.
For Fractional CO2 downtime is more and risk of pigmentation is more but results are faster, less sittings required. But now a days Fractional Erbium Glass is preferred because it has less downtime and less risk of pigmentation, although more number of sittings required.
