What Are Scar Treatments?

Scar treatments are non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures designed to reduce the visibility of scars and improve overall skin texture. By using targeted laser energy, these treatments work to:

  • Smooth raised or uneven scars
  • Lighten discoloration or redness associated with scars
  • Stimulate collagen production to remodel damaged skin
  • Blend scars more naturally with surrounding skin

Our advanced devices — UltraPulse CO₂ Laser, Excel V Laser, and Fraxel DUAL Laser — allow us to target different scar types and depths, giving patients natural-looking improvements with measurable results. Whether scars are new or years old, our technology helps restore confidence and improve skin health.

UltraPulse® C02 Laser

A powerful ablative laser for significant texture improvement, deep lines, and scar revision. Removes precise layers of skin and kickstarts robust collagen remodeling. Expect more visible results and longer downtime; recommended when deeper correction is needed.

Treatment Overview

Consultation

Your visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your scars, including their type, depth, and color. Your dermatologist will also review your medical and skin history before recommending the most effective laser technology to achieve safe, noticeable results.

During Treatment

Sessions typically last 30–90 minutes, depending on the size, type, and severity of your scars. During treatment, advanced laser energy is delivered with precision to remodel scar tissue while protecting the surrounding skin.

Downtime

Recovery time varies by treatment.Excel V typically involves little to no downtime, though mild swelling or bruising may occur for up to four days. More intensive lasers like Fraxel DUAL and UltraPulse CO₂ may require a few days of redness, peeling, or sensitivity as the skin renews—usually 3–5 days for Fraxel DUAL and up to 6–7 days for UltraPulse CO₂.

Aftercare

Following treatment, proper care is key to optimal healing. We recommend diligent sun protection, gentle cleansing, hydration, and avoiding irritation to help your skin recover and maintain the best possible results.
