What Is Laser Scar Removal?

Laser scar removal is a nonsurgical treatment that improves the appearance of scars by targeting damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen renewal. Scar removal laser technology can soften raised scars, reduce discoloration, and improve uneven texture. This approach is commonly used for laser acne scar removal, surgical scars, and injury related scars, with treatment plans customized to the type and depth of scarring.

Types of Scars We Treat

Laser scar treatment can address a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Acne scars that appear indented, uneven, or textured
  • Surgical scars that remain visible after healing
  • Injury related scars caused by trauma or accidents
  • Pigmented scars with dark or uneven coloration
  • Red or vascular scars that appear inflamed or persistent

Each scar responds differently, which is why a thorough evaluation is essential before treatment.
