What is Laser Scar Treatment?

Laser scar treatment is a type of skin resurfacing that helps certain types of scars blend better with the surrounding skin. The laser energy removes a layer of skin, and this process stimulates the production of collagen fibers. The collagen fibers are constructed in a manner that makes the area blend with surrounding better than the original scar.

Benefits of Laser Scar Treatment

• Helps scars blend better with surrounding skin
• Treatment takes very little time
• Comfortable, well-tolerated procedure

What Can I Expect from Laser Scar Treatment?

The laser energy is applied to the scar in short bursts, and you may feel a sensation that is similar to the snap of a rubber band. After the treatment, the scar has a smoother appearance. As the collagen fibers take hold, the scar begins to look similar to the surrounding skin. This makes the scar less noticeable.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Scar Treatment?

Laser scar treatment may help with:

• Raised, hard scars (keloids)
• Indentation scars that are caused by acne and other skin conditions (atrophic scars)
• Pink scars that are slightly raised from the skin (hypertrophic scars)

If you have one of these types of scars, you may be a good candidate for laser scar treatment. A consultation with Dr. Newall is the best way to know if laser scar treatment is right for you.

The cost of laser scar treatment is based on several factors, such as the type, size, and location of the scar, as well as how many treatments are needed to achieve the best possible result. We can provide this information after your consultation, and we do offer financing options to our patients.
