What is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a dermatological procedure aimed at improving the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and more in harmony with the surrounding skin. While scars cannot be completely removed, advanced treatments can significantly reduce their visibility and improve skin texture.
How Does Laser Scar Revision Work?
Laser scar revision utilizes high energy beams of lasers in targeting the scar tissue. It breaks the scar tissue, hence stimulating the collagen production. Collagen aids the growth of new healthy cells that replace the scars.
We, at Dermavision - The Skin Clinic, utilize modern laser technology, thereby ensuring a quick and less painful procedure with less downtime for patients.
Kinds of Scars Treated
Laser scar revision effectively removes various types of scars. Such scars include:-
- Hypertrophic Scars - Elevated and elevated scars that don't spread out from the original wounds
- Keloid Scars - Elevated, thick scars that have spread beyond the wound boundaries
- Atrophic Scars - Such scars that are caused by acne or chickenpox are depressed.
- Contracture Scars - Thick, tight scars that cause disability of movement and often due to burns.
- Surgical Scars - These are left over from any surgical procedure.
