Don’t let scars get the better of you!

Scars are not a pretty sight. If you have scars, especially on visible parts of the body, you may naturally feel concerned about them around spring when bare skin starts making a comeback. Soon, it will be summer, and you don’t want your scars to steal the limelight, do you?

Fraxel Laser Skin Resurfacing in Encinitas CA Area

Acne, infections, trauma, or surgery can cause scars. If the top layer of your skin is damaged, new skin will be visible when the wound heals. If the injury is deeper, your body will generate tissue that’s thicker than your skin, and this tissue is a scar. A new scar is pink to reddish and turns lighter or darker than your skin as it matures. Most scars are flat with wrinkled top skin.

Lasers can successfully treat scars. The Fraxel laser is a premier scar therapy that can remove bad collagen and generate new flexible collagen. It is especially effective on acne scars. Laser treatment is precise, accurate, and involves minimal discomfort and little downtime. Scar discolorations can be treated with other lasers.
