Laser scar removal

In the process of healing of any deep wounds, the final stage is the formation of scars. It should be noted that the full formation of the "mature" scar tissue continues for about a year.

In medical practice, scars are classified into normotrophic, hypertrophic and hypotrophic. The pathological condition - the keloid scar - belongs to experts in a special category. At the same time, the scars not only do not decrease in size, but, on the contrary, expand, they capture healthy skin areas.

The main causes of excessive growth of scar tissue include genetic predisposition, endocrine disorders, lowering of the immunological status, and others.

Certain areas of the human body are most susceptible to hypertrophy. These include the middle line, the sternum area, the outer surfaces of the shoulders. When forming a scar in the joint region, it is possible to develop contracture (restriction of mobility). To more coarse healing often lead to unfavorable conditions. Among which the stretching edges of the wound, inflammation, burns.

These include ultrasound, chemical peeling, radio wave therapy. The method of eliminating a defect is chosen depending on the size of the scar, its age.

Laser scar removal today is undoubtedly considered to be the most effective. This is due to the fact that this method provides the result, the most predictable in the presence of scars of any origin. Modern laser removal of scars can eliminate even such severe conditions as keloid scars. Such a defect on the skin can be turned into a normal tissue.

Today, many clinics use fractional laser scar removal. According to doctors and experts, this technique is the best in modern aesthetic medicine. Laser removal is used in the presence of scars from acne, scars, left after operations, injuries. In addition, the technique is very effective in correcting skin defects (striae, wrinkles).

Earlier, ablation laser destruction was used to remove scars . During the procedure, the entire surface layer of the skin was eliminated. Such laser treatment of scars was complicated, during its implementation anesthesia was needed. In addition, the period of healing (about a month) was very long and the risk of adverse events was high.

Today, when a fractional laser is used, the removal of a column of skin 1.5 mm in depth and 0.3-0.4 mm in diameter is carried out. Such factions can be made quite a lot on one square centimeter of the cover. Between them, areas of intact skin are preserved. This causes a fairly rapid healing. During one session, about twenty percent of the skin surface can be removed, so the entire surface is replaced in four to five sessions.

As a rule, laser treatment of defects is tolerated by patients well. More pronounced sensations in the area near the eyes and upper lip.

The duration of the session depends on the nature and type of the defect, as well as the skin area on which it is formed. On average, the procedure can last from ten to forty minutes.
