Laser scar removal 

Types of scars

Scars can have different origins, and from this depends on their appearance and degree of severity.  Let's consider the main types of scars.

1. Atrophic scars are scars from acne, chicken pox, or trauma. The lack of collagen production during the wound healing process gives them a depressed appearance against the general skin texture.
2. Hypertrophic scars are a consequence of trauma or surgery. Their bulging appearance is caused by excessive collagen secretion during wound healing.
3. Keloid scars - develop after minor skin injuries, surgeries, cuts or burns. The most difficult to treat as they can often develop beyond the original wounds. 

Laser therapy for scarring helps:

• smooth out scarring and restore a more even texture to the skin;
• reduce scars and make scars less noticeable;
• in combination with other methods will help remove keloid scars and prevent them from reappearing.

Laser treatment of scars

Laser therapy, using the Clear Lift technology, is one of the most effective methods for scar removal.

How does the Clear Lift laser work?

The principle of Clear Lift is based on the penetration of laser pulses into the deep layers of the skin, activating the processes of collagen secretion and cell renewal. Acting from within, the laser rays destroy scar tissue, contributing to its replacement by healthy cells. The procedure is safe and minimally traumatic, when penetrating into the skin, the rays do not traumatize the surface layers, which is especially important for clients with sensitive skin.

How does the procedure work?

1. Consultation: during the examination, the cosmetologist will perform a scar revision procedure, determine the type of scars and choose an individualized treatment plan.
2. Skin preparation: the skin is cleaned and a special cooling gel is applied.
3. Laser application: the Clear Lift laser is directed at the scarred areas. The patient feels a slight tingling or warmth. 
4. After the procedure: no long recovery time is required. Possible slight hyperemia subsides after a few hours. 

Overall, Clear Lift can improve the overall condition of the skin and achieve a significant reduction in the appearance of scarring.

What to expect after the procedure?

• Immediately after the session, there may be slight redness of the treated skin areas, which subsides within a few hours.
• Since the procedure is performed with a non-ablative laser, the skin surface is not damaged, which eliminates the formation of crusts, peeling and other visible traces of intervention. This avoids discomfort and irritation.
• The procedure does not cause any pain during or after the session. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after their visit to the clinic.
• The laser stimulates the processes of natural collagen secretion and tissue regeneration, and this takes time, so the results become noticeable a few weeks after the first treatment. 

Skin care after the procedure

To ensure the best results after laser scar removal, it is important to ensure proper skin care.

• After treatment, it is recommended to apply a high SPF sunscreen daily for several weeks to maintain the results of the treatment.
• For 1–2 weeks after your session, limit sun exposure, especially during peak sun exposure.
• Keep the skin highly moisturized after the treatment. Use mild moisturizers.
• For a few days, do not use aggressive care products that can irritate the skin (scrubs, acid peels, etc.).
• It is not recommended to visit saunas, baths and hot baths for a few days after the procedure, it may cause skin irritation.

Depending on the type of scarring and the condition of your skin, a Bella Sana Med Spa specialist can make individualized care recommendations and prescribe the necessary course of follow-up sessions to achieve the best results.
