Laser removal of scars
Everyone wants to look young and attractive, but often the imperfections of our skin make us ashamed of our appearance. However, age-related changes in the skin, scars, marks and stretch marks after pregnancy, acne scars on the face - all of these, in one way or another, happen to everyone. The "miracle creams" from magazine pages may not always effectively solve the problem, so it's worth considering other options, particularly with the help of modern dermatology and cosmetology advancements.
If you experience symptoms of an illness, please consult a doctor.
Laser scar and mark removal - what to know about the technology
Skin laser correction is based on the thermal action of the laser directly on the targeted area. Therefore, laser removal of stretch marks or scars and marks on the face and other body parts is completely safe for the rest of the body.
The contact occurs superficially, as the laser beam does not penetrate deeply into the tissues. In cosmetic medicine, laser scar removal is performed using an erbium laser. It's versatile as it not only targets skin defects but also improves its overall condition. The erbium laser acts on the skin with exquisite precision - up to 1 μm. As a result of this radiation, cell regeneration is initiated, and water is evaporated.
The laser's action is low-frequency, meaning that healthy cells remain untouched, and there's no pigmentation. A drawback of the erbium laser is that it may not be suitable for all types of scars, particularly keloid scars.
To do it or not – the question isn't rhetorical!
Whether to undergo this cosmetic procedure or not is a personal matter for everyone. However, it's worth noting that laser scar removal for acne scars or stretch marks is absolutely safe and effective, provided the correct technique/technology is chosen and a professional approach is employed.
The advantages of the technology are that it allows:
- Easily and quickly achieving the desired effect.
- Not requiring special preparation, diet, etc., so a person can return to their usual routine within a few hours.
- Being effective for all skin types and areas (decolletage, face, hands, thighs - applicable anywhere).
- Seeing results after the first session.
Laser scar removal - an individual approach
Despite all the positive aspects, laser removal has certain contraindications. Specifically, it is not applied to cancer patients, individuals with diabetes, those with progressing psoriasis, and cystic acne. Laser cosmetic procedures are also not used when there are inflammatory processes on the skin, dermatitis, poor blood clotting, and during pregnancy.
Regarding the latter – laser removal of stretch marks on the breasts is only possible after the completion of breastfeeding when hormonal changes in the female body are fully finished. Laser scar removal for post-acne scars has its specifics. Removing them involves using a comprehensive set of measures individually selected by the doctor.
