Can Laser Treatment Be Used for Spots, Burn Scars, Stretch Marks and Wrinkles?
Yes. Laser treatments are among the effective methods used to reduce the appearance of skin spots, burn and acne scars, stretch marks and fine wrinkles. The laser light creates a controlled effect in the target tissue, helping to break up pigment and supporting the skin's self-renewal, that is, the production of new collagen.
Which Problems Is It Used For?
Sun spots, age spots and certain pigmentation problems
Burn, surgical and acne scars
Stretch marks (striae)
Fine lines and wrinkles
Treatment Process
The type of laser to be used and the number of sessions are determined by a dermatologist according to skin type and the depth and extent of the problem. Results usually become noticeable after several sessions; for some scars, the goal is significant improvement rather than complete healing. Protecting the skin from the sun and using sunscreen during and after treatment is important.
