Types of Scars
We can help reduce the appearance of different types of scars. Scars can come in a variety of different types, including:
- Superficial scars – Superficial scars usually do not create any discomfort and are very light in color.
- Keloid scars – Keloid scars are more visible and can sometimes be painful. These lesions can feel hard, rubbery, and appear red or dark brown.
- Hypertrophic scars – Hypertrophic scars are thick and raised. This type of scar happens as an abnormal healing response to an injury or trauma.
- Contracture scars – Contracture scars are fibrous lesions, and they often develop across a large part of the body. A good example of this type of scar is a burn. In some cases, contracture scars may reduce movement for patients.

After Laser Scar Treatment

Because this procedure requires no anesthesia, you can leave and resume your daily activities. However, we do recommend following our aftercare instructions to ensure your skin properly heals. Aftercare instructions may include avoiding excess sunlight for six weeks and using cold compresses to reduce swelling. We will provide detailed instructions and answer any questions you may have.
