Laser treatment for scars is increasingly becoming a sought-after solution for those hoping to improve their skin’s appearance. With a non-invasive approach that causes minimal discomfort, this technique uses focused light technology to reduce or even eliminate visible scars on your skin.
But what types of scars can lasers treat? It depends on the patient, but the Skin & Beauty Center can help you understand the options.

Laser technology has developed quickly in recent years, and now the technique is capable of treating a range of scar tissue.

Laser Treatment Candidacy
While laser treatments have historically been more efficient on lighter skin, technological advancements have improved their range of application. Modern devices can treat a range of skin tones, though very dark skin may still not be a candidate for every laser treatment.
It’s also important to remember that you can’t take Accutane for six months prior to a laser treatments. They’re also not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing.
