    get rid of scars & Dead Skin

    Every time the skin suffers an injury, it runs the risk of healing with a scar. Scars can vary wildly in appearance, ranging from light, silvery-coloured lines on the skin to prominently raised keloid scarring.

    Most of us have scars, but for some of us, it can be more of an issue than for others. Those who have scars that they wish to conceal may find that they suffer from low self-esteem, and are restricted in their clothing options in order to hide unsightly areas of scarring.

    On occasion, scarring is not simply a cosmetic concern and may be uncomfortable, itchy, or constrictive to movement, driving patients to seek to remove them.

    There are many ways scars can be treated. For example, some acne scars can be treated using laser or peels, while another type may need a different treatment option.

    Types of lasers for scar treatment

    There are several different lasers that can be used for scar treatment. The type of laser used will depend on the size, depth, and location of the scar. Some of the most common lasers used for scar treatment include:

    Carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers: CO₂ lasers are ablative lasers commonly used to treat deep scars. They deliver a high-energy beam that penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, helping to resurface the skin and improve texture.

    Intense Pulsed Light (IPLs): IPL laser therapy does not only reduce the visibility of the scar but also relieves pain or sensitivity. Discolorations are safely and effectively reduced, leaving you with more evenly toned skin.

    ResurFX Laser: ResurFX (non-ablative fractional laser) is a gentle laser treatment that helps improve the appearance of scars and uneven skin. It works by stimulating collagen production beneath the skin’s surface, helping to smooth and renew the skin with little downtime.

    Patient Before and After Images

    Laser treatment for scarring does come with a period of downtime of around one week, varying from patient to patient.

    What does laser scar removal do?

    If you feel self-conscious about the appearance of scars, laser skin resurfacing may be an effective solution. Laser scar removal uses advanced resurfacing technology to treat a wide range of skin concerns by removing damaged skin layers and encouraging the growth of fresher, healthier skin during the healing process.

    Laser scar removal treatments in London are fully personalised to each patient. The depth of the laser can be carefully controlled, allowing treatment of scars even in delicate areas. While some scars cannot be completely removed, laser treatment can significantly reduce their appearance, making them far less noticeable.

    All patients considering laser scar removal will require a consultation with Dr Hiba Injibar. During this appointment, she will assess the scar and recommend the most suitable treatment plan to achieve the best possible results, while also helping to set realistic expectations.
