10 things to know before a laser scar treatment - Dr. Priya J Talageri

Laser may seem like a magic wand that can make any scar disappear, be it an acne scar or wound scar, or a traumatic or a burn scar resulting from acne injury or surgery. It is important to know some basic facts. Lasers are becoming the dermatologists go to treatment. But laser cannot get rid of a scar 100% or totally. Whenever we are having a scar treatment done, we are replacing an old stubborn scar with a less noticeable smoother skin tissue. Your results depend largely on the skills of the person performing the procedure. In the hands of a certified dermatologist, a laser can address any type of scars. Medical consultation is crucial before you begin your scar treatment.
