Laser treatment for scars

Laser scar removal is a procedure that is performed using an ablative fractional laser – Monalisa Touch™ and Er: Yag iPixel 2940 laser. Depending on the type and size of the scar, one of these lasers is used. They are also used to remove wrinkles and stretch marks. Laser scar removal involves the precise directing of a light beam that penetrates deep into the skin, into the subcutaneous tissue and dermis, causing micro-damage. There is a photothermal reaction and the water in the tissue is heated and evaporated. The consequence of this phenomenon is the start of natural skin reconstruction processes and stimulation of collagen production, i.e. the substance responsible for the good skin condition. Fractional laser by destroying the changed tissue at the same time stimulates it to auto-renew. To achieve satisfactory results, usually, a series of such treatments should be used.
A few days after the procedure, the skin around the scar is removed and this spot may be slightly swollen and red. There may even be a mild rash that will go away or begin to peel over the next few days.

After laser skin treatments, do not take hot baths for several days. It is forbidden to use the saunas and not to be in the sun. Before each leaving the house, use creams with high UV filters. You should also give up performing any peels at this time.

Therefore, laser scar removal should be performed in autumn and winter, when the sun is not such a great threat to the skin.

The skin needs four to six weeks to recover from surgery. It all depends on how deep the changes were liquidated. You also have to remember that to get good results, you have to undergo a series of treatments.
