Scar Removal Services Using Today’s Laser Technologies

If you had severe acne in the past, you might be dealing with the aftereffects on the skin. Acne scars are common in individuals with acne, as pimples may damage the surface of the skin and leave behind rolling or deep scars along the facial skin. To address this, Dr. Ahmadur Rahman of Jamaica, Queens, New York and Manhattan, New York, may recommend scar removal with laser treatment.

How is scar revision performed with laser devices?

Laser scar revision is a minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses high-intensity light to improve the appearance of scars. Dr. Rahman will direct the laser beam over the surface of your skin, targeting the pigment in your scars. The heat from the laser will break up the scar tissue and stimulate collagen production in the skin. As new collagen grows, it will help to fill in indented scars, smooth out raised scars, and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.

What types of lasers are used for scar removal?

There are many varieties and types of lasers that can be used for scar revision, including fractional CO2 lasers, Er: YAG lasers, pulsed dye lasers, and more. The variety of lasers that is best for you will depend on the type of scars you have and your skin type and goals for treatment. Dr. Rahman will carefully evaluate your skin before recommending the best laser device for your needs.

What can I expect during my scar revision treatment?

Before beginning your laser scar revision treatment, our experienced doctor will apply a numbing cream to the surface of your skin to help ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once you are comfortable, he will begin moving the laser device over the surface of your skin, targeting the scars with brief pulses of light energy. The entire treatment process usually takes under an hour to complete.
