Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Scar Removal?

It’s easier to treat scars than you may think.

Do you have unwanted scars on your face from acne, surgery, or a past injury? Nearly all types of facial scars can be removed using laser scar removal treatment. This procedure is FDA-approved and can work wonders for those who struggle with self-esteem issues related to facial scars.

How Does Laser Scar Removal Work?

Laser scar removal is not surgery. It’s a simply procedure that uses short pulses of extremely fine laser light to connect with the deepest layers of your skin and treat the supportive structure there. Damaged tissue that stuck around when you had your scars will then slough away, and new, fresh and smooth-looking skin will reappear.

Keep in mind that laser scar removal is not a one-time only procedure. Sometimes up to 7 or more treatment sessions will need to take place before you see the results you’re after. This all depends on the severity and pervasiveness of your scars. What’s for sure is that laser scar removal can truly change your life and give you fresh, smooth skin you can feel confident about.
