What is Laser Scar Revision

Laser scar revision, or laser therapy for scars, is a procedure performed to help improve the appearance of scarring. Laser scar treatment can be done on scars that form for a variety of reasons, such as post-surgical scars, scars from trauma, C-section scars, or acne scarring.
This treatment often combines multiple modalities to resurface the scar and stimulate collagen production, leading to a falter, more pliable scar and decreasing redness and pigmentation. Using industry-leading laser device systems administered by IT Intelligent Treatment providers, laser scar revision can help you achieve newfound confidence and make your scars less noticeable.

Our Approach to Laser Scar Revision Treatments

At IT Intelligent Treatment, we offer only the safest and most advanced laser scar revision treatments. We use the Nordlys™ Advanced Frax Platform, along with Picoway™, the industry leader in picosecond laser treatments, to improve the appearance of scars.
Picoway™ uses very short picosecond pulses of energy to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin without breaking the skin surface. This proprietary technology provides our patients with an advanced arsenal of safe and effective treatment options to improve the appearance of scars.

What to Expect with Laser Scar Revision

Before your treatment, please avoid any skincare products that contain glycolic acid or retinol, and also refrain from using tanning beds. Any tanned or sunburned skin cannot be properly treated with a scar revision treatment. First, a consultation where we will also potentially perform a test spot is a must. Not all scars are treatable – we do not treat Keloid scars and anyone with a proven history of keloiding.

During your treatment, it is normal to feel a slight warmth or tingling, which is generally mild. Scar revision sessions are quick and painless, with most appointments lasting between 30 minutes to one hour. The length of your session will depend on the severity and size of your scar.

Laser scar revision is a generally safe procedure, however, some mild side effects may occur. Following your treatment, you may experience temporary burning or redness, itching, or swelling. These mild side effects typically subside within a few days after the treatment. If you are experiencing discomfort, a cold pack or moist cloth can be used on the area to reduce the swelling. Over-the-counter pain medications may also be used to help you safely manage any mild discomfort. Most scars will respond to treatment by typically becoming wider and even raising up before they begin to “shrink” and/or fade and become less visible.

Post-Treatment Care

Your IT Intelligent Treatment practitioner will provide detailed post-care instructions after your laser treatment to ensure you get the best results from your laser treatment. Typically, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight on the treated area for about 4 to 6 six weeks after treatment. Proper sun protection using chemical-free SPF is a must to help protect your skin.

For scars on the face, avoiding cosmetics for a few days, post-treatment may be recommended to allow the area to heal. Our team may also recommend facial care products to help you keep the area clean and moisturized as it heals. It is also important not to pick or scratch any areas that start crusting, which can lead to repeat scarring or an infection.

FAQ

Laser scar revision treatments take time, as it can take several months for the body to begin producing collagen and elastin. Most patients will need multiple treatment sessions, usually between 4 and 6 sessions to achieve the desired outcome. Your IT Intelligent Treatment provider will assess the location and severity of your scar and guide you throughout the treatment process.

Laser scar revision is highly effective at improving the cosmetic appearance of various scars, however, it cannot eliminate scars in their entirety. In addition, not every type of scar is treatable with treatment. To determine if you are a good candidate for treatment, we require patients to first schedule a consultation (either in-person or virtually) with one of our master-level medical therapists.

During this consultation, our team will learn more about the type of scar and areas you wish to treat. Scars must be 12 months or older unless specific permission from a physician is provided. We do not treat Keloid scars.

Each patient, as well as every type of scar, responds differently to laser scar revision treatment sessions. Most patients require between one and four treatment sessions to achieve the best results. The initial healing phase after a laser treatment may cause swelling or discoloration for about 1 to 2 weeks. Patients do not see immediate results after laser scar revision treatments.

During these early treatment stages, skin-level and non-keloid elevated scars may appear worse. Scars may appear wider or higher than they were before treatment but will eventually level off with the skin again and improve over time. The IT Intelligent Treatment team cannot guarantee specifically how your scar will respond to treatment.
