Bothered by scars and longing for a smoother skin texture? At UMA Clinic, we treat scars and scar tissue with advanced laser treatments, including the CO2 laser. It’s a highly effective way to remove and reduce scars, on both the face and the body.
Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, old scars, hypertrophic scars or hard scar tissue under the skin, a laser treatment encourages your skin to repair itself intensively. Controlled heat breaks down the scar tissue and activates the production of new collagen. The result? Smoother, more even skin with less visible scarring.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is a laser scar treatment?
A laser scar treatment renews your skin from within. The laser creates microscopic channels in the scar tissue, breaking down damaged tissue and prompting the skin’s natural repair process.
At UMA Clinic, we use the CO2 laser, among others, to:
- soften scar tissue
- reduce thickening
- even out colour differences
- improve skin texture
Every treatment is tailored to the type of scar, its location and your skin condition.
who is scar removal suitable for?
Scar treatment is suitable for anyone bothered by visible or palpable scars who would like to improve their skin texture. It’s effective for both new and old scars, as long as the scar has fully healed.
indications
- acne scars
- removing or treating acne scars
- hypertrophic scars
- keloid scars
- facial scars
- scars after surgery or injury
- hard scar tissue under the skin
- coarse or thickened skin texture
- uneven skin surface
treating and removing acne scars
Acne scars are caused by inflammation deep within the skin, which can leave behind pitting, thickening or discolouration. A laser treatment is an effective way to reduce them.
The laser:
- renews the skin
- makes pits less deep
- improves skin texture
- stimulates collagen production
Depending on the depth and severity of your acne scars, several treatments may be needed.
facial scars
Scars on the face can feel especially bothersome, whether they’re from acne, small wounds or surgery. A laser treatment for facial scars refines your skin texture and evens out your complexion, all without surgery.
what can you expect?
- straight after the treatment, the skin is red and swollen
- scabs may form
- recovery takes 5–10 days on average
- scar tissue becomes more supple
- the skin looks smoother and more even
- collagen production continues for months
As your skin continues to renew itself, the results of your laser scar treatment become more and more visible.
before and aftercare
- do not scratch any scabs
- avoid sun, sauna, exercise and heat
- do not use acids, retinol or scrubs
- protect the skin daily with SPF
- follow your personal aftercare instructions
