Enhance your healing process with advanced laser scar removal at Potomac Aesthetic Surgery. With the precision of the DenaVe Laser, we reduce redness and improve texture, helping post-operative scars fade for smoother, more natural-looking results.
Reduce Redness and Smooth Scar Texture
Laser scar removal is a non-invasive treatment that improves the appearance of surgical scars by targeting redness, uneven texture, and discoloration. At Potomac Aesthetic Surgery, we use the advanced DenaVe Laser, which delivers 585 nm light energy to the scar tissue. This stimulates healthy skin remodeling while minimizing surrounding tissue impact. The result is a smoother scar that blends more naturally with your skin tone. It’s a safe, effective option for many post-operative patients seeking optimal healing outcomes.
Laser Scar Removal Treats:
- Redness and discoloration in healing surgical scars
- Raised or uneven scar texture after surgery
- Visible incision lines that remain after healing
- Thickened or firm areas along surgical incisions
- Post-operative scars from breast, body, or facial procedures
How Does Laser Scar Removal Work?
Laser scar removal works by delivering focused light energy into the scar tissue to gently heat targeted blood vessels and stimulate your natural repair process. We use the DenaVe Laser, which emits a precise 585 nm wavelength ideal for reducing redness and promoting healthy collagen remodeling.
This controlled stimulation helps break down excess scar tissue while encouraging more even skin regeneration. Over time, scars become less visible and blend more naturally with the surrounding skin for a refined appearance.
Benefits of Laser Scar Removal:
- Targets redness and discoloration for a more even skin tone
- Smooths uneven scar texture for a refined appearance
- Minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime
- Precise treatment that protects the surrounding healthy skin
- Stimulates natural collagen production for long-term improvement
- Safe for appropriate candidates soon after surgery
- Complements surgical results for a more polished outcome
Optimize Healing After Plastic Surgeries
Even with meticulous surgical planning and execution, plastic surgeries can leave scars as part of the body’s natural healing process. Dr. Dassoulas takes every measure possible to minimize visible scarring after surgeries, from placing incisions in discreet locations to using advanced suturing techniques that support precise skin closure. Her expertise and attention to detail help create the best possible foundation for an elegant, refined result.
To further enhance healing, Dr. Dassoulas offers post-operative laser scar removal using the DenaVe Laser. This gentle, targeted treatment reduces redness, smooths texture, and promotes healthy collagen production, helping your scars fade and blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. By incorporating laser therapy into your recovery plan, you can optimize your healing and the overall aesthetic outcome of your surgery.
Your Laser Scar Removal Session
During your laser scar removal session at Potomac Aesthetic Surgery, your skin will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. Dr. Dassoulas will guide the DenaVe Laser over your scar, delivering precise pulses of light to target redness and stimulate healthy collagen remodeling. You may feel a gentle warmth or mild snapping sensation as the laser works. The treatment is quick, and most sessions take just minutes. Afterward, your skin may appear slightly pink, but you can resume most normal activities right away.
Recovery After Laser Scar Removal
You may notice redness, slight swelling, or a warm sensation in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, though you should follow all aftercare instructions, which may include gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection to support optimal healing.
Initial improvements in redness and texture can often be seen within a few weeks as your skin begins to remodel. Most patients benefit from a series of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Full improvements usually occur gradually over a few months as new collagen forms and the scar blends more naturally with the surrounding skin. With proper care, these results can be long-lasting, leaving scars smoother and less noticeable.
