Scar Removal in Rochester
Scar Removal & Reduction
Laser scar removal, also known as laser scar revision or laser scar therapy, is a medical procedure that uses focused laser light to reduce the appearance of scars on the skin. Scars can result from a variety of sources, such as surgical incisions, injuries, burns, acne, or other skin conditions.
Scar Removal at Clear Skin Laser Treatments
The process of laser scar removal typically works by targeting the scar tissue with the laser beam, which breaks down the scar tissue and encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells. At Clear Skin we use Picosure and focus array lens which uses powerful technology to reduce the appearance of scars without harming surrounding skin. In just a few fast, easy treatments, scars are much less visible, leaving behind smoother, more attractive skin.
