At Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine, Dr. Ahmadur Rahman and his team are dedicated to providing the best care possible for new and returning patients. This includes offering a number of scar removal and reduction solutions, such as laser scar revision and lightening treatments. If you have been thinking about these types of treatments and want to speak to a professional about your options, you are not alone! Here are a few frequently asked questions regarding laser scar revision and lightening services at our office.
What is laser scar revision?
Laser scar revision is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes today’s laser technology to improve the appearance of scars. It works by targeting the scarred area with concentrated light energy, breaking down scar tissue and stimulating collagen production for smoother, more even skin.
What types of scars are treated with laser scar revision?
Laser scar revision can be used to treat a variety of scars, including:
- Acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Burn and trauma scars
- Stretch marks
This treatment might not be suitable for all types of scarring. It is best to consult with our team of medical professionals to determine if this treatment is right for you and your specific type of scar.Â
Will this treatment offer scar lightening?
Yes, laser scar revision can also help to lighten the appearance of scars. The laser energy targets the pigment in scars, breaking it down and reducing its appearance. This can be especially beneficial for darker or more prominent scars.
How many treatment sessions are needed for optimal results?
The number of treatments needed varies from person to person, as it depends on the type and severity of scarring. Some patients see significant improvement after just one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique and specific needs and goals.

Is there any downtime associated with laser scar lightening, removal, and revision?
The amount of downtime associated with laser scar lightening and removal depends on the intensity of the treatment. Generally, most of our patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. However, there may be some mild redness and swelling in the treated area, though it usually subsides within a few days. Be sure to follow any post-treatment instructions given by our team to ensure proper healing.
