Laser Scar Removal Treatment Dubai

What Is Laser Scar Removal?

Laser scar removal is a minimally-invasive procedure in which focused beams of light are used to treat the specific areas of your body. With this procedure, you can get rid of the scars that you might have got as a result of pimples or any injury. It helps to remove the appearance of such scars.

Some people who have prominent scars on their face or legs may use cosmetic products like foundation and concealer to hide any prominent scars that make them feel conscious about themselves. Others might spend some cash to get surgical procedures to change the way their scars look and make them slightly less noticeable. Laser scar removal in Dubai & Abu Dhabi depends on how big the scar is or where it is located. Treatments and procedures used by surgeons also depend on what type of scar they are dealing with.

Types of Scars According to Skin Doctors

• Acne Scar: This type of scar is caused by severe acne, which may occur during the puberty stage. Other women may experience severe scarring due to acne during the premenstrual stage which happens every month. The worst thing that could happen when acne scar is not taken care of, is that it can leave the skin bumpy or hollow.
• Keloid Scar: It is a type of scar that appears to be swollen and has a bump. It can occur due to heredity and is the most common among individuals with dark skin.
• Contracture Scar: this can be caused by trauma due to burns and appears to be a much tightened and plastic thin skin. Such scars can cause immobility and can affect muscles and nerves.
• Hypertrophic Scar: this is a type of scar that appears to be red and may have a little bump like that of a keloid.

Are You A Candidate?

Before heading towards the procedure, you should know if you are a good candidate to get it or not. Your doctor may not recommend it to you because it includes specific light and heat that are not suitable for all. If you are on a particular medication, it may cause light sensitivity in you. So, it is highly recommended to ask your doctor before deciding anything.

Different Scar Removal Treatments in Dubai

• Topical creams and ointments which can be bought over the counter are the easiest way to get rid of scars. These are only advisable for small scars that were caused by cuts or wounds. Ask your skin doctor for prescriptions if the scar is caused by surgical procedures.
• Prescription creams that contain steroids can be prescribed by any surgeon or dermatologist. Patients are not advised to use any of these prescription creams without the recommendation of their skin doctor because using medications such as steroids can cause harmful effects to the body.
• Silicone gel sheets can be used to treat the scars and are the best option for flattening keloid scars. 
• Smaller keloid scars can be treated by using cryotherapy or freezing therapy using liquid nitrogen.
• Surgical removal for scar is the best option to treat deeper skin tissue scars, which can be caused by severe accidents and certain surgical procedures.
