Laser scar reduction works by using concentrated beams of light to target and break down scar tissue. The laser helps to improve the texture and appearance of the scar. Over time, the scar tissue is replaced with new, healthy skin cells, resulting in smoother and more even skin.
Our approach is personalized to address your skin’s specific goals. Laser treatments for scars are proven to be safe and effective, with minimal downtime.
Types of scars we can treat:
Scars from an injury
Surgical scars
Pitted or sunken scars (acne)
Scars from an infection
How Does Laser Scar Reduction Work?
The 1540 laser, also known as fractional non-ablative laser treatment, is a popular option for reducing the appearance of scars. Here’s how it works:
- Stimulates Collagen Production: The laser targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps the skin heal and repair itself.
- Improves Skin Texture: By encouraging collagen production, the 1540 laser can help improve the texture of the skin, making scars appear less noticeable.
- Reduces Redness and Pigmentation: The laser can also target the blood vessels that cause redness in scars, as well as the melanin that causes pigmentation issues, helping to even out skin tone.
- Non-Ablative and Fractional: Unlike traditional lasers that remove the top layer of skin (ablative lasers), the 1540 laser is non-ablative, meaning it does not remove any skin. Instead, it creates tiny columns of treatment in the skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched. This fractional approach allows for faster healing and less downtime.
Laser scar reduction is a non-invasive procedure that requires minimal downtime. Multiple treatment sessions may be needed to achieve the desired results, and the number of sessions depends on the size and depth of the scar.
It’s important to note that while laser scar reduction can significantly improve the appearance of scars, it may not completely remove them. During your consultation at Dash Medical Spa in Delray Beach, FL we will determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
