Transform Your Skin with Advanced Scar Removal
Acne, infections, trauma, and surgery can all cause scarring, which can be unsightly, embarrassing, or a reminder of unpleasant events. However, there is no need to live with these scars, as there are effective treatment options. At Skin & Vein Institute, we offer scar removal treatments to help you achieve smoother skin.
When the skin is traumatized due to pimple popping, surgery, or outside events, the body works to repair the damage by generating new collagen.
This collagen is thicker and more rope-like than the normally smooth, flexible collagen we have in our skin. Over time, the body works to change this ropy collagen into normal collagen, but the body doesn’t ever quite get it right, and a scar is formed. An over-exuberant response to the initial trauma can result in a hypertrophic scar or a keloid, and an underproduction of the ropy scar collagen can lead to the formation of an atrophic or depressed scar.
Thankfully, modern laser treatments, like the Fraxel® laser, are a great option for patients who want to restore healthy, youthful skin tissue and blend their scars with the rest of their skin. It can effectively treat acne scars by removing the bad, ropy collagen and stimulating the production of new, flexible collagen in its place. This non-surgical approach is precise, effective, and involves minimal discomfort and downtime. The treatment is safe and carries less risk of complications as the skin’s surface is not broken. Additionally, for discolored scars, other lasers like the Excel V can address redness or browning.
