Scar Treatment with Laser

At Spirit Plastic Surgery, we offer the revolutionary Twinlight™ laser treatment, providing a non-surgical solution for scars and stretch marks. This innovative technology effectively stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, and causes minimal discomfort, making it an ideal choice for those seeking quick and lasting results. The procedure uses the latest laser technology, ensuring maximum safety and effectiveness while delivering natural and visible aesthetic results.

What is Twinlight™ Scar Treatment?

The Twinlight™ method is a two-step laser procedure that combines the benefits of Nd and Er lasers:

• Nd
   

  Laser: This phase stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface, helping to reduce the visibility of scars and stretch marks.

• Er
   

  Laser: The second phase involves fractional and full-surface resurfacing of the skin, significantly improving texture and providing a smoother, healthier appearance.

When is Laser Scar Treatment Recommended?

Laser scar treatment is particularly recommended for those who have bothersome or aesthetically unappealing scars, including surgical scars, trauma scars, or acne-related scarring. This method is especially effective in the following cases:

• Deep or Indented Scars: Scars caused by damage to the deeper skin layers.
• Raised or Bumpy Scars: Often caused by excessive connective tissue growth, such scars are known as keloid or hypertrophic scars.
• Pigmented or Discolored Scars: Scars that appear in different shades from the natural skin tone.
• Stretch Marks: Caused by rapid changes in body size (e.g., pregnancy, weight gain, or loss), leading to tears in the skin’s underlying connective tissue.

Laser scar treatment can improve skin texture, reduce scar size, and lighten their color, significantly enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the affected area and boosting confidence. Results may vary depending on the number of treatments and the initial condition of the skin, but most patients notice significant improvement after the first few sessions.

Stretch Mark Treatment

Stretch marks, also known as striae, often occur due to sudden body size changes, such as pregnancy, rapid weight gain, or intense muscle growth. These marks are caused by the stretching and tearing of the skin’s connective tissue, which happens when the skin can’t adapt quickly enough to body changes.

Laser therapy is one of the most advanced treatments for stretch marks, targeting the skin’s structure and stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers. Using laser light, the skin’s elasticity improves, stretch marks become less visible, and the overall condition of the skin improves.

During laser stretch mark treatment, targeted energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging natural healing processes and stimulating collagen and elastin production, which improves texture and elasticity.

Benefits of Laser Scar Treatment

Laser scar treatment is one of the most innovative solutions in modern aesthetic medicine, allowing the skin’s deeper layers to begin the healing and regeneration process. This procedure is highly effective for various types of scars, including surgical, traumatic, and acne scars.

• Healthier Skin Appearance: Laser treatment smoothens scarred areas, making them less noticeable. The laser stimulates collagen production under the skin, helping to restore its natural structure and improve its texture.
• Minimal Discomfort: Thanks to modern laser technologies, the treatment is quick and relatively painless. Patients typically experience a mild tingling sensation, which is minimized by the built-in cooling systems of the laser devices.
• Quick Recovery Time: After laser scar treatment, patients can quickly return to their daily activities. The minimal recovery time allows them to enjoy the benefits of the treatment with less risk and discomfort.
• Long-Lasting Results: The effects of laser scar treatment are long-lasting and can significantly improve the skin’s appearance and quality. The formation of new collagen fibers and improvement in skin structure can lead to a lasting reduction in scar visibility.
• Personalized Treatment: Each laser scar treatment is tailored to the patient’s unique skin type, the nature of the scar, and the size of the treated area, ensuring the best possible results for everyone.
• Safe and Effective: Laser treatments are performed with high precision and control, minimizing the risk of unwanted side effects. The safety and effectiveness of laser technology are clinically proven, giving patients confidence in the procedure.

Scar Treatment Process

At Spirit Plastic Surgery, scar treatment begins with a thorough preparatory phase that includes a medical consultation. During this consultation, we assess your needs and discuss the intensity and number of treatments required. This step ensures that the treatment is fully customized to your skin condition.

The treatment process occurs in two steps:

1. Step 1 – Nd

    

   Laser in FRAC3® Mode: This innovative technology uses a special pulse structure and fractional mechanism to target deeper skin layers. The laser creates localized high-temperature energy spikes that leave the surface unaffected, improving skin texture and reducing pore size.

2. Step 2-3 – Er

    

   Laser: Fractional and full laser resurfacing is applied using the Er

    

   laser. The laser creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering natural healing processes, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin texture.

Pre- and Post-Treatment Care

Before treatment, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight and tanning for at least one week. On the day of the treatment, the skin should not be treated with creams or ointments. Post-treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least a week to maximize the treatment’s effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.

Healing Time

After laser scar treatment, mild redness, slight peeling, and swelling may occur, typically lasting from a few hours to a few days. The skin gradually regains its natural color and smoothness, although the full healing process may vary depending on the extent of the treatment.

Results

The results of laser scar treatment can be seen relatively quickly. Skin structure improves, and scars become less visible. For optimal and long-lasting results, several sessions are recommended, spaced about four weeks apart. Collagen production is delayed, so the best results may take up to six months to appear.

Treatment Comfort and Duration

Patients may feel a warming sensation during the treatment, which can be eased with topical anesthetic cream for stronger fractional treatments. Treatment duration depends on the size of the area being treated, typically lasting 10-40 minutes.
