Laser Treatment for Scar Removal

Almost everyone would had experienced mild to severe acne during their high school and college days. Acne can't be cured completely but can be controlled. Treatments are very important not only to keep acne and inflammation under control, but also to remove scars that would had formed as a result of acne. Scar removal is not an easy process as one can think of. This needs to be done very carefully as it may cause adverse permanent side effects.

Most of the treatments work by removing scars either mechanically or chemically. Mechanical removal treatments are quite unsafe. These type of treatments if not administered properly may cause more harmful effects. Chemical treatments work by dissolving dead cells along with scars. Laser scar treatment is quite a new method to remove scars. In these methods neither mechanical brushes or used or alpha hydroxy chemicals or used. But a high precise laser beam would be made to fall on scars.

The laser beam can effectively and precisely remove the bonding between dead cells and living skin cells. In effect the scars are burned out leaving mild wounds or redness on skin. Skin cells repair themselves after certain period of time which would be acne free. Laser treatments if not administered in right intensity levels can damage active living skin cells. This is quite an undesirable effect and can result in skin rashes and hyper pigmentation. One should undergo these treatments only with an experienced dermatologist in specialty clinics.
