Scars
can vary considerably in color, shape, size, and texture. Appropriate
revision of the scar must correct the color, and also the texture of the
area. It's usually recommended that scars “mature”
or heal for at least six months before treatment starts. Practices on
the cutting edge of technology, such as Face and Body, trust in laser
therapy for safe and effective treatment. Face and Body uses CO2
Fractional laser for scar revision. This laser ablates the surface of
the scar, prompting the re-growth of collagen and skin cells within
days. Although a scar may not completely disappear after treatment,
laser treatment will make it dramatically less noticeable
Length:
1 to 3 Hours
Results:
Final results may not show forth for at least 1 full year.
Procedure:
The
doctor will apply a pattern of tiny scanned pulses of laser energy to
your skin with a controlled laser. The DOT Therapy laser precisely
creates thousands of microscopic holes (DOT’s) in your skin, which
induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth.
Anesthesia:
Local
Patient Status:
Office Visit
Recovery:
During
the recovery period you will apply a hydrating lotion to keep your skin
moist and promote healing. By day three or four, you will experience some
peeling as your fresh and younger looking skin appears. In most cases,
your skin will return to its normal appearance in about seven to ten
days.
Side Effects:
Some discomfort, swelling, bruising, and redness
(may differ with treatment areas).
