Hypertrophic, Keloid and Atrophic Scars can be effectively revised through the use of the Erbium YAG Laser. This laser system emits
a low energy laser beam with short pulses that ablate the tissue by vaporisation, with minimal heat conduction to surrounding tissues.
The thermal effect generated from this energy is used to stimulate more collagen formation, improving the skin texture in the long
term.
Each individual case is different. On average one to four laser peel treatments are required at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks
or longer.
The higher the Laser power we use, the longer the downtime due to redness but the fewer treatments are required. If the
client wishes to minimise the downtime, more treatments may be required.
Acne Scars:
Many men and women who have had severe or cystic acne during their lives are often left with deep, depressed scars that
give the skin a crater-like or orange-peel appearance. These scars are a result of collagen and epidermal damage and do not go away
without treatment. Frequently acne scars also retain a red appearance.
Acne scar improvement most often requires a special combination
of treatments. Some will respond well to a collagen-remodelling
ND: YAG laser, while others will need an Erbium YAG Laser resurfacing
or Dermal Fillers. There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected into acne scars to raise the surface of the skin and
give a smoother look. Acne scar treatments require that a person's skin is free of active acne, so if you still break out you will
have to address this first.
