Laser Treatment for Scars and Acne
Laser is a beam of monochromatic and intense light. When this light is at the appropriate wavelength and temperature, it can be used to target different issues. Laser technology is employed in various aesthetic applications, one of which is scar treatment.
Laser Treatment for Wounds and Acne Scars
Scars form as a result of wounds, burns, active acne, and various skin traumas. Once formed, without external intervention, the skin’s natural healing mechanisms do not activate, causing the scars to become permanent over time. As the skin ages and is affected by external factors, the scars become more visible.
With laser beams, these issues and the scars can be directly treated.
The laser beams are directed onto the scars. The laser’s heat energy deforms the scar tissue, creating a controlled new injury that only affects the scar and does not harm surrounding tissues. This process triggers the skin’s natural healing mechanism, and since the skin perceives a new injury, it begins to stimulate collagen production in the scarred area. This process evens out the scars with the surrounding skin and facilitates their treatment. The mechanism operates in a way that requires repeated applications until the desired appearance is achieved without damaging the skin. This approach effectively reduces the appearance of scars.
In scar treatment, wounds, burn marks, and scars are addressed while also tightening the pores and reducing other superficial skin issues.
Who Can Benefit from Laser Treatment for Acne and Scars?
This treatment can be applied to individuals with normal health conditions and hormonal levels, just like other laser therapies, where there is no risk associated with the laser.
How Many Sessions are Required for Laser Scar Treatment?
The number of sessions needed depends on the depth and length of the problem and the area where the scars are located. Factors such as skin color and sensitivity also influence the number of sessions and the treatment process. Therefore, a preliminary consultation is necessary to determine a clear treatment plan.
When Can Results be Observed?
An improved appearance of the scars begins to be noticeable after the first session, even after the temporary side effects of the initial treatment subside. More defined results will become apparent in the subsequent sessions, particularly after the final session and once any side effects have healed.
Can All Scars be Completely Removed with Laser Treatment?
The procedure can be performed on all scars suitable for treatment. However, not all treated scars can be completely eliminated or achieve the same degree of improvement. This depends on the skin’s characteristics and the type of scars. Even if the scars are not completely removed, they will appear more aesthetically pleasing compared to their pre-treatment state.
What are the Prices for Laser Acne and Scar Treatment?
The costs of laser acne and scar treatment vary based on the number of sessions required. Therefore, the treatment plan should be clarified through consultations. For pricing information and to schedule an appointment, you can contact our clinic.
