Laser Scar Removal
WHAT IS LASER SCAR REMOVAL?
Laser scar removal utilizes the Palomar Iconâ„¢ XD Aesthetic System, an FDA-approved laser platform that precisely targets scarred tissue. By emitting fractional laser beams into the skin, the system:
- Smooths and lightens scars.
- Encourages collagen production and tissue regeneration.
- Provides a seamless, natural look by blending the scar with the surrounding skin.
This treatment is suitable for various scars, including light or dark, raised or indented, and even prominent keloids and contracture scars.
WHY WOULD I UNDERGO THIS PROCEDURE?
Scar formation is a natural part of the healing process, but scars can often become pigmented or textured, making them highly noticeable. In some cases, scars like contracture scars from severe burns can even impair mobility. Laser scar removal offers a non-surgical alternative for improving both the appearance and function of the skin.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE LASER PLATFORM DO FOR ME?
HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?
A pair of laser goggles will also be provided to protect your eyes from the laser light.
To begin, Dr. Sedgh will place the handpiece against the scarred surface. The device will then emit concentrated beams of light into the skin, targeting scar tissue without damaging the surrounding tissues. For larger scars, the doctor will pulse light in small sections until the entire target area has been treated.
