For many people, scars can be unsightly and embarrassing. Dr. Yousefi offers a safe and effective treatment for these patients looking to finally get rid of their unwanted scars.
Scars form as part of the skin's healing process whenever multiple layers of skin are injured. The injury may be the result of an accident, surgery, a burn or even severe acne.
How is Scar Revision in Arlington Performed?
Today, several new laser techniques are available to treat a wide variety of scars. The laser's energy stimulates the skin under the scar and causes the fibroblasts in the skin to begin to divide again. It also stimulates the production of collagen. This thickens the skin under the scar until it closely resembles the surrounding normal skin.
What Can I Expect After Scar Revision in Vienna?
Results vary from patient to patient and may not be immediate. Results from laser scar treatment are generally progressive and may require multiple treatments. If you respond to the first treatment, your second treatment will usually be as good as the first, and the third treatment will be almost as good. About 70% of patients receiving laser treatments for their scares notice a marked improvement. Newer, shallower scars respond better than older and deeper ones.
