Laser Treatment to Reduce Scars?
Laser Treatment to Reduce ScarsUnsightly scars can affect anyone's self- esteem. Scars are caused by trauma, burns, surgery, animal bites and much more. In the past, few treatments were available to reduce scars. Dermatologists surgically repaired facial scars but few others.Today laser treatments reduce scars to the point of near invisibility. Scars anywhere on the body are treatable. The doctor will first determine the type of scar(s), and explain the procedures and different lasers used in reducing the scar(s).This video explains some of the techniques used to reduce scars. Lasers are used to smooth and blend the scar tissue with the rest of the skin. Laser treatment is available for all patients regardless of ethnicity. Different lasers are used on skins with different pigments.Any type of scar is treatable by laser. Since scar tissue texture is different from that of the surrounding skin, one type of laser is used to reduce the thickness. A different type of laser helps reduce the number of blood vessels in the scar, which often makes the scar red. A third laser blends the pigment of the scar into the surrounding area.While the scar is not removed, the effect of laser treatments is dramatic. Scars are so well reduced and blended with the surrounding skin that they become almost invisible. Speak to a dermatologist about laser treatment for scar reduction before deciding on the procedure.
