Lasers seem to be used for all types of treatments in today’s technologically advanced medical fields. I have found to treat acne, remove hair, correct eye-sight, and now they can remove scars.

Scars are formed because of the tissue healing itself after a skin breaking injury. The collagen under our skin kicks in and goes to work to help re-create skin tissue. Scarring will occur if there is too much or too little collagen during the healing process.

Lasers can help reduce appearance of scars by taking off a top layer of skin which then allows new skin to show after it heals. Some lasers even target under the skin and stimulate the growth of collagen to help properly heal the injury from the inside.

There are many types of scars and each person is unique so which scar removal treatment is right for you or if you are a candidate it is always best to consult the pros.
