WHAT IS LASER SCAR TREATMENT?
At AJC Medical in Raleigh, NC, our expert team performs innovative Harmony XL PRO laser scar treatments. This nonsurgical procedure can decrease the size of a scar and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin. Laser scar treatment can help with one or multiple scars, and we can use it on different parts of the body. No matter the cause of your scar, you may want to reduce the constant reminder of your injury or trauma. During a private consultation, we will assess your scar to determine if laser scar treatment is right for you. Please call to schedule an appointment and learn more.
Each situation is different, and some patients may require more or fewer treatments than others. However, most patients will only need 4 – 6 laser scar treatments before they've received the maximum benefits of the procedure. After your initial consultation at AJC Medical in Raleigh, NC, we will have a much clearer picture of your specific treatment plan.
The length of time you must wait after the formation of a scar depends on the underlying reason. For instance, if it stems from a surgical procedure, it is usually safe to perform laser scar treatment after only a few weeks of removing the stitches, allowing the scar to completely heal. However, acne scars may be treated as soon as the underlying acne outbreak is under control.
Unfortunately, there is currently no treatment that can make a scar go away entirely. Instead, laser scar treatment is a useful technique for significantly reducing the visibility of a scar.
Some patients find laser scar treatment to be painful and others do not. The patient experience is determined by the type of laser, depth and area of treatment, and the patient's own pain tolerance. Those who have undergone the treatment usually refer to it as feeling like having a rubber band repeatedly popped against their skin.
