Laser scar correction treatments are designed to improve the appearance of scars by addressing differences in texture, depth, and color. Because scars form in different ways, treatment is tailored to the specific scar type.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars result from excess collagen and appear raised and firm, while atrophic scars are sunken due to loss of underlying tissue, commonly seen with certain acne scars. Advanced laser technologies help remodel collagen, smooth uneven texture, and reduce discoloration so scars blend more naturally with surrounding skin.
At The Vera Medical Institute, laser treatments are customized using physician-selected technology to safely and effectively treat a variety of scar types.
The Lumenis® laser creates microscopic channels that break down the fibers in the scar and trigger the production of new collagen and elastic fibers, while leaving some unaffected skin in between the channels to reduce healing time.
The result is deep dermal regeneration that dramatically improves the elasticity and appearance of your scar. At least, 2 to 3 treatments are required for desired results.
Lutronic PiQo is a picosecond laser used to treat pigmented scars and post-inflammatory discoloration while also stimulating collagen. Its ultra-short pulses allow for effective treatment with minimal heat damage.
Downtime: Minimal. Temporary redness may last 1–2 days.
Lumenis AcuPulse is a powerful fractional CO₂ laser used to treat deeper, more pronounced scars. It delivers controlled energy to stimulate significant collagen remodeling and improve scar depth and texture.
Downtime: Approximately 7–10 days, depending on treatment depth and intensity.
