How Does The Therapy Work?

There are two different kinds of laser therapy: fractional laser therapy and CO2 laser therapy.

CO2 laser treatment - With little harm to the skin around it, this kind of therapy removes very thin layers of skin using short light pulses or continuous light beams. Each treatment only targets a small portion of the scar tissue, therefore repeated sessions may be necessary for larger scars.

Fractional laser therapy - The collagen in the scar is made to tighten by the application of several, slender light columns in fractional treatment. Less of your skin is damaged in the procedure, but because the laser penetrates deeper, there is a chance for more scarring and a longer healing period.
