Laser ScarRemoval

For Unwanted Scars

More people are going under the laser than ever before becausenot only is it a logical solution for removing unwanted scars, but it isalso safe and relatively low on the pain scale.

TYPES

scars including:

Keloids

Atrophic Scars

Hypertrophic Scars

HOW IT

WORKS

Laser scar removal is a relatively simple process. A laser

moves along the length of a scar or an area full of scars, and

removes the top layer of skin. The top skin layers are those

that appear damaged and cause the scar to be visible. When

these top layers are removed, newer, less damaged skin can

be found underneath.

Laser therapy often requires more than one treatment for

the best possible results, and it can take anywhere from a

half-hour to two hours to complete, depending on the

severity and number of scars.

COMPLI-

CATIONS

When considering laser scar removal,

consider the possibility of unwanted

complications, including severe redness,

peeling, allergic reactions and even

infections. Talk to your doctor about

possible side effects and the best way to

avoid them.
