Keloids & Scars
|
| Scar tissue is a collection of cells that forms and gradually grows back after a specific injury or surgery in the dermis (middle) layer of the skin. A scar is a visible mark left by the healing process when the dermis layer is damaged. It can appear anywhere on the body, and the composition will vary depending on its cause.

FAQ
|
|
|
| How long does it take for a scar to be removed?
|
|
|
A scar can come in different colors, patterns, severity, and complexity. The most suitable treatment option will be determined during your initial consultation.
|
|
|
| Can scar tissue come back after being removed?
|
|
|
In general, most scars can be remolded to resemble normal tissue when treated appropriately.
|
|
|
| How does laser treatment work on hypertrophic scars/keloids?
|
|
|
Keloids/hypertrophic scars can be flattened by lasers, and it is also effective in relieving itchiness. Cynosure Elite IQ long-pulse 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser treatment reduces the vascularity of keloids/hypertrophic scars. The reduction in vascularity may, in turn, decrease cytokine or growth factor levels in the tissue, which then promote collagen deposits. Laser therapy is delivered over several sessions with 4 to 8 weeks between sessions. Our doctors may recommend combining laser therapy with other treatment methods to achieve long-lasting results.
