Real Laser Skin Resurfacing Results at The Scar Healing Institute: Before & After
At the Scar Healing Institute, we use advanced laser technologies for our SHI LASE scar treatment, including ablative lasers like Er:YAG, CO2, and Q-switched Fotona Starwalker, as well as non-ablative lasers like Nd:YAG and KTP. These lasers target scars at precise depths, either in fractional or fully ablative modes, to reduce scarring and redness, promoting smoother skin. Preparation includes avoiding photosensitive medications, abstaining from aspirin, and temporarily discontinuing exfoliating or retinoid treatments. It’s also important to avoid sun exposure and smoking, as both can interfere with healing and pigmentation.
Types of Scars Laser Skin Resurfacing Is Best For
Acne Scars: While lasers like Er:YAG and CO2 can improve acne scars by blending healthy skin with scar tissue for a smoother appearance, the Scar Healing Institute recommends using lasers as a final “touch” treatment after scar revision and healing.
Surgical Scars: Nd:YAG and Er:YAG lasers are effective for reducing redness in hypertrophic breast lift and tummy tuck scars, smoothing the appearance and alleviating symptoms like pain and itchiness by targeting scar tissue and microvessels.
Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars: Pulsed-dye lasers (PDL) and Nd:YAG lasers are effective in treating raised scars by targeting blood vessels within the scar, reducing redness, and potentially flattening the scar’s raised appearance.
