Scars, whether from acne, surgery, or trauma, can deeply affect your confidence. To address this, we offer advanced Fractional Laser Treatment designed to significantly reduce the appearance of scars.
This advanced technology (combined with our skilled team of skincare professionals) precisely targets damaged skin to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin with minimal downtime.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that target large areas, fractional lasers create tiny wounds that stimulate your body’s natural healing process. Remember, reducing scars with fractional laser treatment is a journey. Treating scars can be difficult and may need combination of different treatments to achieve the best results (because this process requires patience). Although some may see results quickly, others might take longer to notice improvements, but persistence is key.
Ideal candidates generally include those with various types of scarring, such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling acne scars, as well as surgical and trauma scars. Those seeking to improve uneven skin texture or address sun damage may also benefit from this treatment.
Candidates ought to maintain realistic expectations; achieving optimal results may necessitate multiple sessions. Good general health, alongside the absence of active skin infections, is essential. Non-smoker, or those who are prepared to quit smoking, are preferred, as smoking can impede the healing process.
Although fractional lasers can be tailored for diverse skin types, a consultation is often required for individuals with particular skin conditions or very dark skin. This is important because it ensures that the treatment is both safe and effective.
Any scar you wish to have treated should be at least 6 months old and fully healed before undergoing fractional laser treatment. This timeframe ensures that the scar has matured and that the treatment will be both safe and effective. To determine whether this approach is suitable for you and your specific scar concerns, we conduct a thorough consultation, medical assessment, and a patch test on the edge of the scar to determine how it responds to the laser. The procedure is relatively quick, and we apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
This allow us to tailor the treatment to your individual needs and ensure the best possible outcomes.
A patch test must be conducted at least seven days before your scheduled treatment. This preliminary test is crucial for evaluating how your skin responds to the fractional laser and ensuring that there is no risk of the scar developing into a keloid. During this period, we carefully monitor the test area for any adverse reactions or unusual responses. Once we are satisfied with the results, a local anaesthetic will be applied to numb the area. We also use a cooling machine during the procedure to help manage the heat generated by the device. This combined approach helps to minimise any discomfort and ensures a smoother, more comfortable experience.
The preliminary patch test (which is very important) for assessing how your skin reacts to the fractional laser is essential. We will carefully review the results: to ensure that treatment is suitable for your specific scar and skin type. Only after the practitioner is fully satisfied with the test results will we move forward with full laser scar reduction treatment. To maximize your comfort, local anaesthetic will be applied; however, a cooling machine will be used to manage and regulate the heat generated by the laser. Although this process is detailed, it is necessary because it ensures optimal outcomes.
Fractional laser treatment is a highly effective method for reducing scars. The procedure stimulates natural healing that improves your skin’s overall texture and tone.
Potential side effects typically include temporary redness, swelling and mild discomfort in treated area. However, these reactions are common and generally subside within few days. Although rare, more significant side effects, such as infection or scarring, may occur; this can be concerning for some patients.
Initial improvements may be visible after few weeks. Optimal results, however, usually become apparent after several months.
At our clinic, located in the heart of Covent Garden, London, we offer advanced Fractional Laser Scar Reduction treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars and achieve smoother, more even skin.
After undergoing laser treatment, it is advisable to avoid applying makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours.
