Scar treatments are procedures performed on a scar to improve its appearance. In addition to reducing itching, the treatment may reduce the scar's visual impact and help restore function to an affected body area. Scars can never be completely removed. But treatments can reduce their visibility.

Scars form when the body's response to a wound is disorganised, developing scar tissue (fibrotic tissue) from collagen. Scars can be categorised as atrophic, hypertrophic, contracture, or keloid.
The scar elimination therapies can be anything from grafting for traumatic scars to topical creams for mild ones. In addition to improving the appearance and function of the skin, laser scar revision is a viable treatment option for a wide variety of scars.
Laser Acne Scar Treatment
Fractional skin resurfacing can effectively treat textural and pigment concerns. Acne scars are most effectively treated with lasers. Intense Pulsed Light(IPL) can help reduce pigmentation and vascular effects.
Laser Surgical Scar Treatment
Laser therapy can improve the appearance of scars caused by surgery or trauma by stimulating collagen formation and remodelling the affected area covering the depressions on skin, while leaving surrounding skin unharmed.
Burn Scar Treatment
Treatment of burn scars is more complex than others. Fractional ablative laser resurfacing is an effective treatment for such scars, leading to both lasting functional improvement and visible cosmetic improvements.
Laser Keloid/Hypertrophic Scar Treatment
Keloid / Hypertrophic scars are raised from your skin surface. They develop due to dysregulated deposition of collagen at the site of an injury.These scars are difficult to treat by medications and so the best treatment option is laser removal.
