Scarring is a natural process of wound repair. A scar will develop on the skin while recovering from an injury caused by an accident, burn, surgery, or acne. Generally, scars appear due to natural healing anywhere on the body in any size and shape.

What are Scars?

In simpler words, when an injury damages the skin’s deeper layers, scars develop on the skin. If the skin’s superficial layer is damaged, it usually does not cause scarring. However, scars can look unappealing on the skin, especially if they are easily visible. Scar Removal in Dubai is an effective technique used to remove different types of scars.

Who is the ideal candidate?

Anyone bothered by scarring due to various reasons can benefit from scar removal treatments. Individuals seeking dermatological help for Laser Scar Removal Dubai should have one or more of the following:

  • Acne scars
  • Burn scars
  • Trauma scars
  • Injury scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Keloid scars

Aim of the Treatment

Scar Removal Treatment in Dubai aims to:

Types of Scars

Depending on the type of scar, different scar removal treatments are available. Some common types of scars are as follows

Acne Scars

The most common type of scar is acne scars. They occur as a result of pulling out acne causing a minor skin injury. Inflammation happens in that wound and causes scarring. An Acne Scar Treatment is suitable for eliminating acne scars. Other types of acne scars include atrophic, boxcar, icepick, and rolling scars

Keloid Scars

Keloid scars are thick and raised in appearance, and they appear on the skin’s surface due to tissue damage. They grow larger than the injury and do not go away on their own. A Keloid Treatment in Dubai can help get rid of them.

Contracture Scars

They occur as a result of skin burning. A part of that skin area is damaged in the healing process and contracture scars appear.Laser Scar Removal Treatment can help remove them.

Hypertrophic Scars

These scars are like keloid scars in appearance. They appear as a result of chronic inflammation in the second inner layer of the skin. Tension on the healing wound may lead to the development of this scar. They can be treated with injections and plastic surgery.

Treatment Options

Several effective scar removal treatment options are available for minimizing the appearance of scars. Some of these treatments include topical creams, ointments, gels, dermal fillers, skin resurfacing procedures, and laser treatments.

These popular treatment options are as follows:

Topical Creams

Over-the-counter and prescription creams/ointments can be used to remove scars caused by acne, cuts, or minor injuries and wounds. Consult a dermatologist, and they will guide you on whether over-the-counter products will work for you or not. They may also prescribe you steroids-containing or antihistamine creams.

Dermal Fillers

A dermal filler is another option for the best Scar Removal in Dubai. Dermal fillers are soft, gel-like material that is injected underneath the skin’s top layer. As a result, they add volume to scar depressions and enhance skin texture. If you have acne or deep surgical scars, dermal fillers can fill the scar depressions. Moreover, they can also successfully treat moderately deep scars caused by accidents or injuries.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing procedures – like Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion – are also used to reduce and remove scars. These techniques work by removing the skin’s damaged topmost layer, revealing fresh and smooth skin underneath.

Excisional Procedures

Include surgical removal of scar from the target area. Punch excision removes the scar and seals the wound. Punch grafting uses tissue from some other part of the body to close the wound after scar removal.

Silicone Gel Sheeting

A thin layer of silicone gel is applied twice a day which dries itself. This method shows a great decrease in color texture and height of scars.

Cryosurgery

Uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the scar by inserting a needle. Anaesthesia is given before freezing. The scar shrinks and fades away after 11 weeks.

Subcision

Uses a needle to insert into the scar and move in several directions to disconnect the fibrous tissues in the skin under the scar. This shrinks the scar making it less apparent

Techniques We Use

Laser Scar Removal

At Laser Skin Care Clinic, we use laser technology to remove scars. Laser Scar Removal in Dubai is a minimally invasive treatment. It uses intense laser beams to target a body part that requires treatment, promoting collagen growth(a protein in skin that replaces damaged tissues and produces new skin). This treatment option is the most advanced and requires careful precision. However, the results are flawless and permanent. Two types of lasers are used depending on the scar

Ablative laser

  • Uses Fractional CO2, Er: YAG, or YSGG to vaporize the water-containing tissue in the scars destroying it in the process. Collagen heals the affected area giving you scar-free skin.
  • Targets the uppermost layer of skin.

Non-Ablative laser

  • Uses Nd: YAG and Er: Glass lasers to cause a thermal injury in the second inner layer of the skin which triggers collagen production.
  • Wounds the second inner layer of the skin so there is no chance of infection and faster healing.

Machines We Use

At Laser Skin Care Clinic, we use the following laser machines for the removal of Scars

Ellisys

  • Uses a radio frequency(nonablative) of 1Mhz to treat scars with depths ranging from 0.5-3.5mm.

Pollogen Legend

  • Uses tripolar radiofrequency(nonablative) to heat the deeper layer of skin at a depth of 0.2mm.

SmartXide

  • Uses CO2 lasers to treat scars, surface pigmentation, and deep wrinkles.

Plexr

  • Uses ablative lasers to remove scars.
  • Results can be seen in 2-3 weeks.

  • Cleanse the face thoroughly if the scar needs to be removed from facial regions. Use any antibacterial, oil-free cleanser the night before the treatment.
  • Take a shower if the scar is on a body part other than the face, like the neck, abdomen, back, or chest. Also, shave the hair from the treatment area before scar removal.
  • History of trauma and the type of scar should be evaluated

  • A laser beam with a specific wavelength and intensity is glided along the scar using a handheld device.
  • The laser beam causes microscopic wounds at a controlled rate in the scar tissues.
  • It triggers a self-healing process that also helps to minimize scar appearance.
  • It also resurfaces top layers of skin, revealing new and smooth skin underneath.
  • The laser also goes deeper into the skin targeting lower layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production.
