Can old scars be treated with laser scar removal?

I suggest posting photos of your scar so that we can determine what is the best, there are many options for treating old scars.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Best,

Hello Jessica. Lasers can help with scar removal, but to determine if the treatment may work for you, we would need to see photos.  To see examples of Los Angeles scar removal with lasers, click on the before and after photos at the link below.  

Old scars can be treated with laser.  We use a number of different lasers to treat scars depending upon the type of scar that you have.

Yes but the success depends upon the actual appearance of the scar and the type of laser selected to treat it. See a physician who is very experienced with lasers to determine if this treatment is right for you.
