Quick Answers About Scar Removal Treatments

How does laser scar treatment work?
Unlike surgery, laser scar treatment uses short pulses of micro-fine laser light to reach deep into the skin’s sub-layers, treating the support structure. 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. It’s a fast and simple procedure that is easy to tolerate and requires little to no downtime.

What types of scars can be treated?
Laser scar treatment is FDA-cleared for surgical scars and acne scars on any area of the body, including the face.

Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
Laser scar removal can work on many skin types, including very light and very dark skin. Schedule a consultation to see if you are a candidate.

How long does it take?
The procedure can be performed in 30 minutes or less, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Does it hurt?
Most people feel minimal discomfort during laser scar removal treatment. Your provider can discuss pain management options with you.

How many treatments will I need?
Most people may need three to seven treatment sessions for optimal aesthetic results.

How quickly will I recover?
Most people resume regular activities immediately following the treatment session; however, exercise should be postponed for 24 hours.

Are there any side effects?
Typical side effects include temporary redness and swelling at the treatment site, which should last only a few days.
