SCAR REVISION
Overview
Don’t let your Scar scare you for life!
Who doesn't appreciate healthy skin free from scars and marks? However, the harsh reality of life is scarring happens, it happens for various reasons!
A scar forms after the skin has been damaged or injured. It is the natural healing mechanism of the skin. Scars and skin abnormalities come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including:
-
Textural alterations on the surface.
-
Elevated hypertrophic scars, which develop when the wound healing process produces extra scar tissue, such as keloids.
-
Depressed atrophic scars, which are often linked with acne scarring Stretch marks.
-
Hypopigmentation, when the skin is lighter than usual.
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, when the skin is darker than normal.
A Highly Collaborative Treatment Plan
Laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat scars of different kinds. Er: YAG skin resurfacing is utilised for the removal of scar tissue, which in turn causes activation of collagen remodelling. Er: YAG treatments work particularly well on acne scars. Clinical study has shown that Nd: YAG wavelength treatments provide better cosmetic and functional results, including skin redness, tissue volume, pliability, and erythema.
Scar Revision Therapy
The revolutionary dual-wavelength scar-revision therapy by Fotona helps people take advantage of dual-wavelength treatment options that include Er: YAG, Nd: YAG, and all-absorption Nd: YAG. This is a very successful therapy for treating appearance as well as addressing the reasons that make the scar prone to bleeding.
Procedure
Fotona’s Dual Wavelength Scar Revision Therapy.
Both non-ablative Nd: YAG and fractional-ablative Er: YAG wavelengths are combined in Fotona's pioneering dual-wavelength scar-revision therapy as part of a single comprehensive scar-treatment regimen, with immediately visible results that outperform traditional laser-based and conventional scar treatment techniques. Dual-wavelength scar treatment treatments are a very successful treatment option that not only improves the cosmetic look of a scar but also helps to resolve complications with the scar's vascular feeding system.

Prior to Treatment
Every person wishing to be treated at Advanced Laser Clinic will require a consultation with our Laser Consultant prior to their first treatment.
At this appointment, we welcome all questions to advance your understanding of the treatment. There will be a consultation form to be completed about your health and medications to asses your eligibility for treatment.
A patch test will be performed on your skin to ensure the laser settings are suitable for you. If there are no reactions 24 hours after your patch test, we can commence your laser treatment.
Before laser therapy, it is very important that you keep your treated area away from sun exposure. Your skin needs to be protected from the sun for a minimum of two weeks before any treatment commences. This is crucial both before and after the treatment. The lasers work on providing a specific heat at a specific depth in your tissue to produce a desired end point. This end point can be exacerbated if exposed to sun and can cause unwanted side effects.
