Laser treatments work by using focused light energy to target the damaged tissue in the scar area. Depending on the type of laser used, it can either remove the outer layer of skin (ablative lasers) or stimulate the deeper layers of the skin without removing the surface (non-ablative lasers). This process encourages the skin to regenerate and heal, gradually reducing the visibility of scars.

Yes, laser scar treatment is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. The treatment is non-invasive and has been shown to be effective in improving scar appearance. However, it is essential to have a consultation to ensure the right laser treatment is chosen for your skin type and scar type.

We at Solunexa medispa can treat all sorts of scars. Laser scar treatments can be effective for various types of scars, including:

• Acne scars: pitted or textured scars from previous acne breakouts

• Surgical scars: scars from surgeries or incisions

• Keloid scars: raised, thickened scars that extend beyond the wound's original boundary

• Hypertrophic scars: raised but confined to the original wound area

• Injury scars: scars from cuts, burns, or other traumatic injuries

Scar is complex abnormal response to wound healing ,so there is possibility that multimodality treatment will be required and it may include Subcision (breaking the scar with needle), Bioremodling (Profhilo/ PLLA/CAHA/PRF), steroid treatment and injectable treatments either in the same setting or as a separate session to achieve best possible results

Every scar behaves differently and the treatment will be discussed during your consultation but generally at least 3-4 sessions are required to see some visible scar improvement.

Lasers help the body to produce good collagen and healthy tissues around the scar. Every session is carefully planned to make the scar and body adapted to lasers, help in collagen and elastin remodelling and keeping the downtime low so you can carry out daily life activities. The number of treatments required depends on the severity of the scar and the type of laser used. Typically, patients need 3-5 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. For more stubborn scars, additional treatments may be necessary.

Downtime is usually minimal, but it depends on the type of laser used. After treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area, which generally subsides within a few hours to a few days. More intensive treatments may require a longer recovery time, with some peeling or flaking of the skin occurring as the treated area heals.

Laser treatments are generally safe for most skin types, but certain types of lasers may be more appropriate depending on your skin tone and the scar. A consultation with a qualified professional is essential to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your skin type.

The cost of laser scar treatment depends on the size, location, and number of scars being treated, as well as the type of laser used. During your consultation, you will receive a detailed estimate of the cost based on your individual treatment plan.

If you're interested in laser scar treatment, the best way to determine if it’s right for you is to schedule a consultation with a qualified practitioner. They will assess your scars, discuss your goals, and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
