Why Dermatologists Recommend Laser for Scar Reduction
How Lasers Work
Lasers use concentrated beam of light to break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen. They resurface skin layers, reduce pigmentation, and improve overall skin texture.
Types of Lasers
- Q-switch laser: best for pigmented scars and acne scars.
- Vascular lasers: reduce redness in fresh scars.
- Resurfacing lasers: smooth raised or thickened scars.
Benefits Over Other Methods
Lasers deliver precise results without damaging surrounding skin. They also shorten recovery time compared to older surgical methods.
Safety Considerations
Not all skin types are suited for every laser. Dermatologists select the right option to prevent hyperpigmentation or irritation, especially in darker skin tones.
Lasers are a gold standard for scar reduction when performed by trained dermatologists.
