There has been tremendous progress in laser treatment technology because of its effectiveness in treating and improving the appearance of hypertrophic scars, atrophic scarring and keloids. The type of scarring you have will determine the type of treatment as well as the number of treatments required. Laser treatment can target lower layers of the skin, stimulating new collagen growth and evening out scars from the inside out.

The laser is moved along the scar, removing a layer of skin and exposing a more natural-looking skin layer, which heals over time.

After the treatment it might be necessary to take medication to prevent infection and to help the scars fade. The Melrose Aesthetic Centre offers laser treatments that can restore your confidence as well as your skin. Beauty is not static, it needs constant care, and the doctors at the Centre will advise you on skin care products to improve and condition the texture of your skin.
