Laser scar removal

Effective skin regeneration, visible improvement in skin structure

CO₂ fractional laser scar removal is one of the most advanced methods for skin reconstruction, working deeply and precisely – exactly where problematic tissue requires it. This technology effectively reduces both atrophic and hypertrophic scars, regardless of their cause – acne scars, post-traumatic scars, postoperative scars, or burn scars.

The treatment is based on controlled damage to micro areas of the skin, initiating intense cellular regeneration, reconstruction of collagen fibers, and natural leveling of the scar structure.

How does CO₂ fractional laser work on scars?

The procedure utilizes laser light emitted in fractional technology, creating microscopic columns of thermal damage within the scar. This process:

• removes excess keratinized and scarred tissue,
• stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin,
• rebuilds the skin in deep layers without affecting the healthy tissue surrounding the scar.

Fractional technology enables a quick healing process and reduces the risk of complications because healthy skin areas between micro damages intensify the regeneration process.

Who is the treatment recommended for?

The procedure is dedicated to individuals struggling with visible scars of various types:

• acne atrophic and depressed scars,
• hypertrophic and raised scars,
• post-traumatic and postoperative scars (fresh and longstanding),
• burn scars,
• scars from cesarean section, plastic surgeries, or surgical traumas,
• skin irregularities, especially in facial, décolletage, back, or other exposed areas of the body.

The treatment can be used for both women and men of all ages.

Skin Types

CO₂ laser can be used in skin therapy for:

• light and medium-dark skin (phototypes I-III) – with appropriate safety protocols,
• normal, mixed, and oily skin – particularly effective for acne scars,
• mature and sagging skin – additionally improves skin density and firmness.

Note: for darker phototypes, individual adjustment of parameters and prior skin preparation are necessary to minimize the risk of pigmentation.

Treatment Effects – what can be achieved?

The treatment brings multidimensional results – both aesthetic and functional. The effects appear gradually, and their intensity depends on the type of scar, depth of damage, and number of procedures performed:

• Reduction in scar visibility → scars become less prominent, lighter, and better integrated with the surrounding skin
• Smoothing of skin structure → the surface becomes more uniform, without noticeable indentations or thickening
• Reduction in tension and stiffness of scars → improved elasticity and comfort, especially with post-traumatic or burn scars
• Improvement in skin tone → leveling of discoloration and redness, especially with fresh scars
• Stimulation of neocollagenogenesis → the skin rebuilds from within, increasing its density and firmness
• Leveling of hypertrophic scars with the skin surface → excess tissue is effectively vaporized by the laser's ablative action
• Skin regeneration around the scar → healthy tissue also improves in quality, and the entire treated area looks fresh and healthy

Treatment Frequency – therapy plan

For optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended, with the number and frequency determined individually during the consultation.

• Typically, 1 to 3 treatments are performed every 6-8 weeks
• For deep or extensive scars, a longer therapy may be necessary
• Effects appear gradually and consolidate over the following months – the collagen rebuilding process can last up to 6 months

Why is it worth it?

Next-generation hybrid technology

Removal of scars with the OScar hybrid laser (Alma Hybrid™) is the most advanced and effective method for treating all types of scars – acne scars, post-traumatic scars, postoperative scars, and burn scars – based on the synergy of two advanced laser technologies: ablative and non-ablative. The combination of these two types of energy allows for simultaneous regeneration of deep skin layers and improvement of its structure and color at the epidermal level. As a result, the procedure provides comprehensive skin reconstruction and effective smoothing of even difficult, entrenched scars.

Currently, this is the most advanced laser therapy technology for scar treatment, delivering spectacular and lasting results without the need for long recovery periods.

Why is the hybrid laser so effective?

The success of scar treatment depends on the effective penetration of energy into the dermal layer of the skin. Traditional fractional lasers – ablative or non-ablative – only acted in one layer, offering limited regenerative effects.

The Alma Hybrid™ hybrid technology allows for the simultaneous use of two types of energy:

• Ablative CO₂ laser → vaporizes tissue fragments, creates ablative microzones with coagulated edges, initiates epidermal remodeling, and smoothes the skin surface.
• Non-ablative erbium-glass laser (1540 nm) → creates thermal coagulation zones deep in the dermal layer, activating fibroblasts for synthesizing new collagen and rebuilding the extracellular matrix without damaging the skin surface.

Thanks to the ability to independently control the length, depth, and density of pulses, the therapy is maximally precise and individually tailored to the type and depth of the scar. The result is a multi-stage skin reconstruction, leading to visible improvement in both structure and color.

Who is the procedure recommended for?

The OScar hybrid laser treatment is recommended for individuals with visible scars who want to achieve maximum aesthetic and qualitative effects while ensuring safety and a short healing period:

• acne scars – atrophic, irregular, discolored,
• post-traumatic scars – resulting from injuries, mechanical traumas,
• burn scars – including extensive ones that are difficult to treat with other methods,
• postoperative scars – including those from cesarean section, plastic surgeries, orthopedic surgeries,
• stretch marks – as a form of extensive dermal scars.

The therapy can be used on the face and body – including in anatomically challenging locations (e.g., back, décolletage, arms, thighs).

Skin types – who is it safe for?

The Alma Hybrid™ hybrid laser can be used on individuals with light to medium skin tones (phototypes I–III). For darker phototypes (IV–V), individual qualification and caution are necessary due to the risk of discoloration.

The procedure is suitable for:

• mature skin with weakened scars,
• sensitive skin prone to slow healing,
• patients expecting significant improvement without aggressive surgical intervention.

Effects of scar removal with OScar hybrid technology

The treatment impacts both the skin surface and its deep layers, providing complete skin remodeling – structural, functional, and aesthetic:

• Scar flattening and smoothing → scars become less visible, with a more uniform and smooth surface
• Restoration of natural skin tone → pigmentation evenness, lightening of discolorations and redness
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin production → skin gains firmness, elasticity, and resistance to damage
• Deep remodeling of the dermal layer → rebuilding the extracellular matrix, stimulating cellular regeneration
• Improvement in skin tension and density → treated areas become more compact and better integrated with healthy tissue
• Visible reduction of all types of scars → both fresh and long-standing, regardless of their cause

Treatment frequency – therapy plan

To achieve full skin remodeling effects, a series of 2–4 treatments is recommended:

• treatments performed every 6–8 weeks,
• initial visible effects appear after 2–3 weeks,
• collagen remodeling continues for up to 6 months after the last treatment.

Each treatment is preceded by a consultation to individually adjust the parameters and treatment protocol.

Trust the top-tier technology and care for the beauty of your skin with the best results and minimal recovery time.

Effective Skin Rebuilding and Regeneration

Laser scar removal using fractional ablative laser is one of the most effective methods in aesthetic medicine, allowing for a permanent improvement in skin appearance. Thanks to advanced technology of micro-damage, the treatment stimulates deep tissue regeneration, smoothes scars, and restores the skin's natural structure. It works precisely, safely, and with high effectiveness - both for fresh and long-lasting changes.

After the first treatment, the skin regains better elasticity, and over time, the visible effects deepen along with the collagen rebuilding process, which lasts for several following months.

How Does Ablative Fractional Laser Work on Scars?

During the treatment, the laser emits thousands of microwaves of light that fractionally - meaning pointwise - penetrate the skin, creating micro-injuries. The ablative technology means that a small amount of tissue is removed in each micropoint, leading to:

• evaporation of the damaged scar structure,
• initiation of intense healing and regeneration processes,
• stimulation of fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.

The healthy tissues remaining between the columns of micro-damage accelerate the repair process, allowing the skin to heal and rebuild faster. This technology allows for precise treatment - both for deep and superficial scars, regardless of their extent.

Who Is the Treatment Recommended For?

The treatment is intended for individuals who want to effectively get rid of scars of various origins and characters, such as:

• acne scars - atrophic, uneven, pitted,
• postoperative scars - including those after cesarean section, surgical and orthopedic procedures,
• post-traumatic scars - resulting from mechanical injuries or cuts,
• burn scars,
• stretch marks - fresh and older skin stretch marks.

The treatment can be performed on both women and men, even on more delicate areas - e.g., face, neck, décolletage, or back.

Skin Types - Safety and Effectiveness

Ablative fractional laser can be used on individuals with light to medium skin tones (skin types I-III) while maintaining proper skin preparation and selected parameters.

In the case of darker skin tones (skin types IV-V), the treatment may require prior color-evening therapy or the use of alternative technologies that reduce the risk of discoloration.

Treatment Effects - What Does the Skin Gain?

The treatment brings clear and long-lasting aesthetic benefits that impact not only appearance but also the patient's psychological comfort. Among the most important effects:

• Visible reduction of scars → Scars become shallower, less visible, and better integrated with the surrounding skin.
• Smoothing the skin structure → The skin surface undergoes significant smoothing, reducing unevenness, thickness, and indentations.
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin → The skin becomes more elastic, dense, and firm, while scars soften and undergo natural stretching.
• Improvement in skin tone → Even out discolorations and lighten darker areas within the scar, making the skin look healthier and more uniform.
• Reduced pores and texture improvement → Through the regeneration of deeper skin layers, there is an overall refreshment and rejuvenation of the treated area.
• Safety and fast regeneration → Fractional technology minimizes the risk of infections and complications, ensuring faster healing while maintaining high effectiveness.

Treatment Frequency - Therapy Plan

To achieve optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended, the number of which depends on the type of scars and the expected end result:

• Usually, 3-5 treatments are performed
• The intervals between treatments are typically 4-6 weeks
• The full effects appear gradually - the skin reconstruction process lasts from 2 to even 6 months

Visible improvement can be seen after the first treatment, but the most significant changes occur as the production of new collagen increases.

Why Choose Ablative Fractional Laser?

This is an innovative solution for individuals who expect lasting effects and maximum safety. The treatment not only improves the appearance of scars but also affects the overall skin condition - making it look younger, healthier, and more natural. By using medical-grade devices (e.g., Er:YAG 2940 nm Cynosure, iPixel Erbium Alma Lasers), you can count on the treatment being performed with the utmost precision - by experienced therapists in a renowned clinic. Your skin deserves a second chance - regenerate it in a modern, safe, and effective way.

Skin Regeneration Without Damaging the Epidermis

Non-ablative fractional laser is a modern and effective method for improving the appearance of skin with scars, working deeply without damaging the outer layer of the epidermis. The treatment is based on the use of erbium-glass technology (1540 nm) or Q-Switch picosecond laser (ClearLift), which precisely stimulate the natural skin regeneration processes.

The result is a gradual smoothing of the scar structure, improvement of its elasticity and color - without the characteristic recovery period associated with more invasive methods.

How Does Non-Ablative Fractional Laser Work?

The treatment involves controlled heating of the deeper layers of the skin using light microbeams, which:

• do not damage the epidermis,
• penetrate the skin in a punctate manner,
• cause microdamage in the reticular layer of the dermis,
• trigger strong skin regeneration and neocollagenesis.

As a result, degraded scar tissue is replaced by new, elastic, and uniform collagen structure. This is a completely natural process, but accelerated and optimized by the action of the laser.

Fractional technology allows for selective action - on specific areas of the skin - without harming healthy tissues, significantly reducing recovery time and minimizing the risk of side effects.

Who Is the Treatment Recommended For?

The treatment is recommended for individuals dealing with various types of scars and seeking a safe but effective alternative to ablative lasers:

• acne scars (atrophic and hypertrophic),
• postoperative scars (including after cesarean section, plastic surgeries, orthopedic procedures),
• post-traumatic scars (e.g., after cuts, sports injuries),
• stretch marks (fresh and old),
• burn scars,
• skin irregularities, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and pigmentation changes accompanying scars.

The treatment is ideal for active individuals who cannot afford a long recovery period.

Skin Types - Who Is It Safe For?

Non-ablative fractional laser is very well tolerated by most skin phototypes (I-IV) and can be used at any time of the year - even in months with higher sun exposure, with proper sun protection.

It is ideal for:

• thin, reactive, and vascular skin,
• mature skin with established scars,
• individuals prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation,
• patients who are apprehensive about ablative or aggressive laser procedures.

Effects of Non-Ablative Fractional Laser Scar Removal

The treatment works multifacetedly, gradually improving skin quality without the need for strong exfoliation or epidermis removal:

• Reduction of scar visibility → The skin gradually rebuilds from the inside, scars become less deep, less red, and better integrated with the surrounding tissue.
• Smoothing skin texture → Reduction of indentations, thickening, and unevenness associated with scars, especially from acne or trauma.
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin production → The skin gains firmness, density, and better tension, and scars soften and become more elastic.
• Improvement of skin tone and lightening of pigmentation → The treatment reduces redness, dullness, or dark spots associated with scar healing process.
• Safety and comfort → No disruption of the skin surface means minimal risk of complications, faster return to daily activities, and excellent tolerance by patients with sensitive skin.

Treatment Frequency - Therapy Plan

To achieve optimal results, a series of treatments individually tailored to the type and depth of scars is recommended:

• usually 3-6 sessions are performed,
• gaps between sessions range from 3 to 5 weeks,
• initial effects are noticeable after 2-3 weeks, and full skin remodeling continues over the following months.

The treatment can be combined with supportive therapies (e.g., serums, microneedling, tissue stimulators) to maximize the effects.

Why Choose Non-Ablative Fractional Laser?

It is the ideal choice for individuals who value a safe, precise, and comfortable approach to skin regeneration, without long recovery periods and risk of complications. By utilizing the latest technologies (such as 1540 Alma Lasers, ClearSkin, ClearLift), we offer effective scar treatment while maintaining full patient comfort.

The treatment not only reduces scars - it activates the skin for self-regeneration. It is a conscious investment in healthy, uniform, and smooth skin.
