Laser Acne Scar
Removal is the treatment of choice for many. The process is like
sanding the surface of a damaged table so that the scars are less deep.
The procedure itself takes about an hour. First, the entire face is
numbed, using a topical cream. Then a beam of light removes the
outermost layer of the skin. Though healing takes 10 to 12 days, a 60%
to 80% improvement can usually be expected depending on the type and
extent of scarring. A single treatment may not remove scars entirely if
they are too deep. These deeper scars can be corrected by injections
under the skin. Collagen, silicone, and one's own fat can be used.
The
procedure of Laser Acne Scar Removal can be made to men and women
over the age of 18 who have no other medical complications. In most
cases this is an elective procedure. It is important to have realistic
expectations.
