I need a laser scar removal. How much does it cost? Does this really work? How do I make a consultation? My scar is on my leg and on my knees. The keloid and the other scars became black and noticeable.
Answer: How Much Does Laser Scar Revision Cost Dear FlorSmaller scars an inch or less generally cost $200-$300 depending upon the location and the complexity of the scar. Larger scars might cost closer to $800-$1000. Keloid scars are quite complex and require aggressive treatment and therefore cost around $1800.The reason for the expense in treating scars relates to the cost of the laser that a surgeon might choose to use. New lasers cost from $150,000 to $200,000, and require a great deal of skill and training in order to be used safely and effectively. Sure, you can go one of the multitude of spas in a shopping mall and probably save some money, but do you really know who is on the other end of the laser and what training they have had? I perform all laser treatments personally and do not use laser techs, nurses, or any other physician extenders.The Lumenis Ultrapulse Laser that I use I use is state of the art for laser scar removal, and gives incredible results in 1-2 treatments. I also often combine laser scar treatment with platelet rich plasma (PRP) applied topically right after the laser. PRP has been shown in the medical literature to improve healing and reduce downtime. Keloids can be treated with CO2 laser and steroid applied topically or a new procedure known as Cryoshape.

Answer: Scar revision may take many different treatments including laser to improve it the lower on the body a scar is, the more difficult it is to treat it without it looking worse from hyperpigmentation after the treatment. Some scars can be laser resurfaced but that might entail a gentle laser such as Clear and Brilliant or a more moderate laser such as Fraxel Dual. Other lasers such as PicoSure laser with focus lens array can be used. some scars have lost pigment and others are darker. some are raised and some are flat. there are different treatments for all these scars, but all procedures have risk of looking worse after the treatment on the legs.
