Scars can be more than just a cosmetic concern — they often carry emotional weight, acting as reminders of past injuries or impacting one’s self-esteem. At AestheticFX Med Spa in Frisco, TX, board-certified acute care nurse practitioner Beverly Farris offers advanced laser scar treatment to help patients reduce visible scarring and feel more confident in their skin. Below, we’ll explore how laser scar treatment works, the types of scars it can address, what to expect during the process, and when results typically appear.
What is laser scar treatment?
Laser scar treatment is a nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure that reduces the appearance of scars by delivering thermal energy to the skin. This stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, encouraging skin regeneration. Over time, the treated area becomes smoother and more even-toned, and in many cases, the scar becomes barely visible.
What kinds of scars can be treated?
Laser scar treatment can be used to improve the appearance of many types of scars, including:
- Acne scars
- Burn scars
- Injury-related scars
- Surgical scars
- Infection-related scars
How many sessions will I need?
The number of laser treatments needed varies based on the scar’s age, size, depth, and severity. Most patients require approximately 4 – 6 sessions to achieve optimal results. Beverly Farris will provide a customized plan during your consultation at our Frisco, TX office.
When will I start seeing results?
Immediately following treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, itching, or irritation in the treated area. These side effects usually resolve within a week. Visible results develop gradually as collagen production increases over the course of several weeks to months. Most patients begin to notice improvements after a few sessions, with full results appearing after the complete treatment series.
Can laser treatment completely remove scars?
Laser therapy can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, but complete removal is not guaranteed. Results depend on the type and severity of the scar as well as individual skin characteristics. However, many patients see dramatic improvement and report their scars becoming barely noticeable. During your consultation, Beverly Farris will assess your skin and set realistic expectations.
Are results from laser scar treatment permanent?
Yes, once a scar is treated and improved, it will not return. However, future skin health is influenced by factors such as sun exposure, age, and overall lifestyle. To maintain your results, avoid excessive sun, wear SPF, stay hydrated, and avoid smoking or excessive alcohol use.
