Laser Scar Reduction
Laser scar reduction can reduce the appearance of keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and atrophic scars, which have the following characteristics:
Keloid Scarring: Firm, raised, and reddish-purple scars that extend beyond the initial wound area and builds over time.
Hypertrophic Scarring: Firm, raised, and pink scars that remain within the initial wound area and possibly naturally regress over time.
Atrophic Scarring: Depressed pin like pockets in the skin that can result from skin conditions such as acne.
