Laser is the most sought after method for scar removal. Laser is non-invasive, long-lasting and has negligible recovery time compared to other methods. Laser scar removal does not remove a scar; it only diminishes its visibility. The laser breaks down the scar tissue so that the body replaces it with new cells. More penetrating laser treatments also target the deeper spots and scars. They trigger skin cell renewal and collagen production in the dermal layers. This helps achieve a smoother, more toned skin surface. Injury and surgical scars, burn marks, acne scars and naturally-formed spots are the most common reasons for laser scar removal.
Laser scar removal is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. Before the procedure, the dermatologist will mark the area for treatment. In most cases, he uses local anaesthesia on the patient. You will wear goggles when the scar is in the face to protect the eyes. He will cover the surrounding healthy skin with towels to prevent injury to those areas. The instrument used looks like a wand that emits laser of the required frequency from its head. The dermatologist passes it over the scarred region. He will occasionally apply a cooling solution to prevent burning. Once done, The doctor will apply burn cream to the area and dress it. In most cases, you may need multiple sessions for best results. This is true, especially for the non-ablative laser treatments.
Preparation to do Before the Treatment
You will have to stop smoking and drinking a month before the procedure. Your doctor will also stop blood thinners and painkillers at least two weeks before.
Stop using skin products that have glycolic acid or retinol a month before the treatment. It is very important to keep the treatment area healthy and hydrated for the procedure. Avoid exposure of the area to direct sunlight. Use a high SPF sunscreen.
Let the doctor know if you have herpes. He will have to prescribe an antibiotic to prevent sores after the treatment. Also, inform him if you have diabetes or light sensitivity. These may disqualify you for the treatment due to potential risks,
It is important to not put any stress on the skin leading up to the laser treatment. Waxing, chemical peels, dermabrasion and any type of injection are a big no-no.
The laser-treated area takes 3-10 days to heal. You will experience swelling, redness and bruising in the treated area. Use an ice pack to soothe the region.
The doctor will prescribe a moisturising lotion. You must apply this to the area twice a day or as instructed by him. He may also give you pain medication if necessary.
You should not expose the area to the sun for at least a month or more. A medicated sunscreen is a good idea.
You should not use make-up or any harsh chemicals in the region until healing is complete. This includes avoiding chlorinated pools.
It will take several weeks, if not months, for the results to be visible. Keep in contact with the dermatologist to know if you will need further sessions.
