Laser procedures

During the laser scar removal procedure, the laser beam causes microscopic injuries to the skin. This starts the skin regeneration process, during which the synthesis of collagen and elastin is activated and the texture of the skin is improved. As a result of the laser procedure, the skin tightens, becomes denser and more elastic, scars are noticeably reduced with each procedure and become less and less noticeable. We remove acne scars, stretch marks, surgery scars, post-traumatic and other scars on the body and face. We recommend starting scar treatment as early as possible, because, for example, newer keloid, surgical scars and stretch marks respond better to treatment than older ones.

Before starting the procedures, a thorough consultation is carried out, during which the doctor evaluates the suitability of the procedure, possible results, determines the price, explains everything related to the procedure and gives instructions for proper home skin care. We recommend contacting you for a consultation immediately after the scar appears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful?

Laser scar removal can be painful, but it’s possible to use local anaesthesia for pain relief. The need for anaesthesia primarily depends on the size of the treated area – smaller scars often do not require anaesthesia.

How long do I have to wait after a scar forms to start laser treatment?

You can begin scar removal as soon as the wound has healed. However, you can seek consultation earlier, as more recent scars such as surgical scars, keloids and stretch marks respond better to treatment than older ones. During the consultation, the doctor will assess the suitability of the procedure and the potential outcomes, set the price, explain how to prepare for the procedure and outline its course, and give recommendations for aftercare.

How effective is laser treatment for postpartum stretch marks?

The effectiveness of laser treatment depends on the width and age of the stretch marks (red or white). Narrower and younger scars can usually be made completely invisible with the laser, while wider and deeper scars become narrower and gradually blend in with the rest of the skin.

How many procedures are needed for scar removal?

The number of procedures required depends on the scar and is individual, which is why we recommend seeking a consultation first to create a precise treatment plan with your doctor. However, we can say that the scars will diminish significantly with each procedure and become less and less noticeable.

What should I consider after the procedure and how should I care for my treated skin?

After the laser treatment, you may experience some swelling and redness in the treated area. Swelling usually subsides within the first three days, but redness decreases more gradually and may persist for up to two weeks. The day after the procedure, you can shower under running water and will need to start applying the moisturising cream recommended by your doctor at least twice a day. In the first week after the procedure, avoid exposing the treated area to sunlight and then use a sunscreen of SPF >30 for at least one month.
