Laser Therapy
A laser will heat underneath the skin’s scarred collagen during laser therapy. It depends on the body’s response to healing wounds to produce fresh, healthy collagen. Laser therapy promotes the growth of new skin to replace the skin’s surface. Ablative and non-ablative laser resurfacing are two distinct subtypes of the procedure.
Moreover, a dermatologist will decide which type is ideal to perform. It depends on one’s skin type and the characteristics of existing acne scars.
The skin’s top layer is removed by laser resurfacing, like chemical peels and dermabrasion. However, unlike any other treatment, it is said to recover faster.
Laser therapy treats severe scars, similar to chemical peels and dermabrasion, but it focuses more on the scar. It also focuses on specific blood vessels. The skin is typically puffy and red for around five days after the surgery. The treatment is done multiple times for better effects. The area must be wrapped until it fully recovers. This method, however, is not recommended for people still prone to breakouts and is less effective for those with darker skin.
