Result
& Longevity
For an optimal result usually several treatments are necessary. The
controlled, laser induced
inflammation must heal
completely before the next
layer can be removed. Final
results are usually very
satisfying.
The result is permanent.
Notes
It depends on the condition and on the original injury as to whether
and to what extent a scar
can be removed. Complete
removal is not always
possible.
The Laser is not suitable for the
removal of deeper scars or
large bulges,
which can be removed by a
surgical scar correction Excision
.
Acne Scars
and other small
Scars can also be corrected effectively by Dermabrasion
and other ablative methods.
