Who is a good candidate?

Typically, good candidates are in good health. Sunburn or other skin conditions may disqualify you from being an ideal candidate. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Rhee to determine if you are a good candidate.

What kind of scars can be treated?

Generally, scars left behind from acne, accidents, surgeries, and even some wrinkles can be improved with laser treatments. Scars can not be completely removed, though they can be made to look less noticeable.

How does it work?

There are a few options when it comes to laser scar removal. Intense pulse light therapy works by sending light energy through the outer layer of the skin, down into the dermal layer where it stimulates collagen productions. Other lasers like the Co2 work by removing surface layers of the skin to reveal healthier skin below.

How much will it cost?

Please contact our office to get an idea of what laser scar treatments may cost. Also, it is important to check with insurance. Often, scar revision or removal treatments are considered cosmetic procedures and are not covered by insurance.
