treatment
The laser resurfacing procedure is used to treat various types of skin defects. The main indications for laser resurfacing of a scar or suture include:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne
- Scars or marks after acne (post-acne)
- Striae (skin stretch marks)
- Fine wrinkles
Laser resurfacing of scars can significantly transform the appearance of the skin from the first time. The full effect appears only after the end of the course of treatment and after several months.
Laser scar resurfacing is not performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This temporary restriction is due to changes in hormonal balance.
Additional contraindications:
- Exacerbation of inflammatory processes
- Malignant neoplasms in the treatment area
- Recently performed (less than 2 weeks ago) chemical peeling
- Psoriasis
- Atopic dermatitis during an exacerbation
- Epilepsy
- Recently acquired tan
It is also not recommended to perform laser scar resurfacing on exposed areas of the body before traveling to hot countries. This is due to the fact that the treated skin is especially vulnerable to UV radiation. Exposure to sunlight increases pigmentation and slows down the healing process. Therefore, October-March is considered the most suitable time for laser correction of the face.

What is laser scar resurfacing?
Laser resurfacing of scars and sutures is aimed at improving the appearance and texture of skin that has scars.
The process uses a special medical device that emits short pulses of light. This light penetrates the upper layers of the skin and removes damaged cells. This stimulates the production of new collagen (a protein responsible for the elasticity and smoothness of the skin).
