Smooth and blemish free skin is something that many people desire but few people ever really have. Cuts, bruises, acne, burns and surgery can all leave scars that can cause some to be self conscious or ashamed of their skin. Surgery and Laser skin resurfacing can help the presence of scars, but they can still leave marks and divots in the skin.
What are Scars?
A scar is caused by damage to the skin dermis, the deep layer of skin beneath the surface. If the dermis cannot regenerate itself completely, a depression exists in the skin which makes a scar. Injuries or minor cuts only affect the epidermis, the surface of the skin, and that it why they usually heal without a scar. When a visible mark is left that means the injury was deep enough to affect the dermis.
How can a Scar be Removed?
In order to remove or drastically improve the presence of a scar, there needs to be regeneration in the dermis by an injection or boost of collagen to the skin. If collagen can be induced and created, the depression or scar of the skin will become plump and less visible.
How Does Starlux 1450 Laser Treatment Work?
The Starlux 1450 laser beam goes deep down into the dermis and promotes new growth of collagen. This collagen growth fills the depressed dermis and plumps up the skin underneath the divot or depression. Starlux 1450 is a non abrasive laser that does not damage or remove any skin during the treatment. You do not have to undergo any recovery time and you skin is intact immediately after the treatment. Before the procedure begins, a small amount of numbing cream is applied to the area, and the Starlux 1450 machine is placed directly on the skin. You will feel heat when the machine is on, but it should not be painful or too uncomfortable.
Most patients need at least 4 treatments spaced throughout a number of weeks. Severe wounds or scars may take longer to heal, or may require additional treatments. New collagen growth takes about 6 weeks to develop, so you should see results within a few months. Remember, it is still a treatment, so you will want to be sure to consult with a doctor as well as doing everything necessary so the treatment is as effective as possible.
