These devices utilize focused light energy to target scar tissue, promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. Different wavelengths of light are used to address various scar types, including acne scars, surgical scars, and burn scars. An example is the use of fractional CO2 lasers, which create microscopic wounds in the skin to stimulate the healing process.
Minimally invasive procedures offer a potential solution for improving the appearance and texture of scarred skin. This technology has evolved significantly, offering patients quicker recovery times and more precise treatment options compared to traditional methods like dermabrasion or excision. This advancement contributes to a higher standard of care in dermatology and plastic surgery.
