Laser Scar Removal

The Fotona Laser is ideally suited for the effective treatment of a wide range of scar tissues and other permanent lesions.Scars can have an impact on someone’s physical appearance and may cause problems with self-esteem and confidence. In addition, some scars can be painful such as when a keloid, a raised scar from injury, is in an area where it may be regularly bumped on surfaces or is in a pressure point area such as bra or belt line. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below. Laser resurfacing is a fast, safe and simple procedure.

Examples of scars that can be treated:

1. Acne scarring

2. Keloids 

3. Post surgical scarring such as breast augmentation or reduction and scars from “tummy tuck” surgeries
