Skin Scar Removal - Results

If you decide to undergo scar removal treatment, you should be aware of the fact that scars never can be completely removed, but are simply addressed through the achievement of visual and in some cases functional improvements. This is based on the fact that scars represent a low-grade skin substitute and that there are, to date, no reliable methods of returning the skin to its original state. ³
The final result of scar removal depends on many factors such as the size, type, and development of the scar as well as individual scar care and wound healing. ¹

Generally speaking, a laser treatment can achieve better results in the presence of depressed scars as opposed to elevated scars. For elevated (hypertrophic) scars it may be the case that these redevelop after the treatment. ⁴

With a professionally executed chemical peeling, the skin can be rejuvenated and the scars can be visually improved. The length of a peeling's effects is normally between two and ten years and can be repeated upon request. ⁵
