Laser treatment methods
In laser scar therapy, there are several techniques that help get rid of scar tissue:
- Peeling with laser. The essence of the manipulation is the layer-by-layer evaporation of the scar, as a result of which it is polished and the pathological area of the skin is leveled. Suitable for correcting any cosmetic defects and is versatile;
- Laser treatment of scar tissue is based on the production of collagen, which leads to rapid renewal of skin cells at a deep level. The skin becomes smooth, dense, firm and elastic;
- Photothermolysis involves the removal of the top layer of epithelial tissue, as a result of which restoration processes at the cellular level are accelerated. Thanks to collagen synthesis, a tightening effect is obtained.
For your information, laser treatment of scars in most cases complements laser peeling, that is, the procedures are applied sequentially in combination.
To remove normotrophic scars, you will need to perform 2-3 medical procedures. They are usually carried out at intervals of one month. To get rid of a hypertrophied scar, you will need up to 8 sessions with the same break.

How is scar removal done?
Laser removal is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The duration of the manipulation itself varies from 5 minutes to one hour, depending on the affected area of skin.
The laser beam heats the hypertrophied tissue through short pulses, the cells inside quickly evaporate, as a result of which the scar becomes smaller. The strength and penetration depth of the beam is controlled by a computer program, which allows you to set the intensity of the impact with an accuracy of one micron.

To prevent overheating of the skin, a specific cooling system is used. This increases safety while reducing patient discomfort.
The advantages of the method include:
- No harm to healthy tissue;
- Impact accuracy;
- A small list of contraindications;
- Bloodless intervention;
- Visible result after the first time;
- Lack of rehabilitation period;
- Elimination of serious and major defects.
Immediately after the first session, the treatment area is washed and gently soaked with a paper towel. Then an antibacterial gel or cream is applied, and a light protective bandage is applied.
Carrying out the procedure
The question often arises: how to get rid of scars? Laser treatments immediately come to mind. It is the only one of its kind - it significantly reduces the depth of scars, and after a few sessions completely eliminates them.
A scar is several layers of connective tissue that appear as a result of mechanical or other damage to the skin. After the skin has lost its integrity, it is filled with tissue, which in its structure and color differs from the rest of the body, and therefore stands out strongly against them.
During laser resurfacing, the top layer of the dermis is removed and the tissue that has already healed is destroyed. This stimulates skin cells to divide and the synthesis of collagen and elastin is enhanced in the treated area, which contribute to the formation of new healthy skin. The scar becomes smaller in size, it is not so noticeable on the general layer. After the repeated procedure, not a trace remains of it.
Types of devices
They are produced by American and European manufacturers. Today, two types of devices are used to remove scars:
- erbium
- carbonic
The latter is used for deep penetration into connective tissue; it is capable of exerting a therapeutic effect on the treated area of the skin. The scar removal process is controlled by precise sensors; all stages are included in special programs developed by the device manufacturer. Such automation eliminates the risk of defects and does not depend on the human factor.

The erbium apparatus, unlike carbon dioxide, acts on the surface of the skin without going deep into its layers. Its laser beam, passing deeper, loses its ability to affect tissue when it comes into contact with the liquid in it, so it can only work at a depth of several microns. It eliminates the upper layers of scars; when it reaches the skin with nerve endings, its effect ends. But even this is enough to reduce scars and trigger the synthesis of collagen, which regenerates the skin.
This stimulates the supply of oxygen to the tissue in large quantities, which promotes:
- tightening the skin, restoring its firmness and elasticity;
- fibrous tissue at the site of the scar is filled with new tissue;
- Pigmentation lightens, and some of its manifestations disappear completely.
This type of laser resurfacing can be used to treat particularly sensitive skin, even on the face. It is used for delicate areas such as the area around the mouth and eyes.
Its beam acts on the dermis gently and carefully thanks to the cooling system built into the laser device. It helps to avoid mistakes and complications, shortens the rehabilitation period after the procedure
The impact of the laser and the determination of the size of the treated areas are calculated by a cosmetologist and adjusted by a computer program.

Procedure for carrying out the procedure
Getting rid of the scar occurs within two hours, during which time the patient’s preparation is included. The process takes place in a special operating room that meets medical standards.
Getting rid of a scar is carried out in several stages:
- Preparatory. The treated area is cleaned with a special gel, and then a soothing lotion is applied to it.
- Anesthetic. Local anesthesia is used on the areas exposed to laser irradiation. This involves applying a cream consisting of lidocaine and prilocaine. Before using it, the doctor must find out whether the patient is allergic to these substances. After the procedure, the anesthetic cream is removed with a special product. But its effect lasts for another hour.
- The grinding process lasts half an hour; to relieve tension, use a special ointment or make lotions. Then a moisturizer is applied to the treated area.
- Medical examination. After completing the procedure, the cosmetologist talks about further skin care.
