What Is Scar Removal?
Scars can be a difficult topic for many people who have them. Whether it's from surgery or a past traumatic injury, a scar might be an unsightly symbol of a time or experience you'd rather not remember. At Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics, we offer a selection of state-of-the-art scar removal treatments from Alma to help our Orlando, FL patients move forward with their lives in a more confident way. Using some of the most sophisticated skin care technologies on the market, our team can dramatically reduce the appearance of scarring, leaving you with a smoother, more even complexion. Say goodbye to old scars, and give your skin a clean slate by scheduling a scar removal consultation with our experienced dermatologists today. We offer:
- Alma Opus Plasma: This treatment uses fractionated plasma and radiofrequency (RF) energy to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production. It improves the appearance of scars while enhancing skin texture and firmness, all with minimal downtime.
- Alma Hybrid®: Combining an ablative CO2 laser with a nonablative 1570nm laser, Alma Hybrid treats both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Its HyGrid™ technology allows for customizable treatment settings, making it a versatile and effective option for a wide range of scar types and skin tones.
How Does Scar Removal Work?
Laser scar removal can be performed almost anywhere on the body. Before starting your procedure, a member of our team will massage a numbing ointment into your skin to minimize any sensations from the laser. As the treatment begins, we'll pass the selected handpiece over the treatment area a number of times, resurfacing the damaged upper layers of skin while stimulating collagen generation from within. You can expect some slight discomfort throughout this process, but most patients find it manageable. Afterward, you can get back to your routine, though you should take care to protect the treated area for a few days as it heals. Many of our Orlando, FL patients report a dramatic improvement in the appearance of scars after just one session, but multiple appointments might be necessary to see the full results. During your consultation, our team will build out a treatment plan that includes the number of required sessions.

Am I A Candidate for Scar Removal?
Candidates for nonsurgical scar removal are those looking to improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, injury, or surgery through advanced, minimally invasive treatments. These treatments are designed to work on various skin types and tones by targeting scar tissue beneath the surface to encourage collagen production and smoother skin. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have stable scars that are not inflamed or infected, and maintain realistic expectations about the outcome. Factors such as the severity, type, and age of the scar, as well as individual skin sensitivity, help determine the best treatment approach.

Scar Removal FAQ
Can scar removal treat all types of scars?
Laser scar removal at Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics is effective for a variety of scars, including those from surgery, injuries, acne, and even keloids. However, the treatment's effectiveness can depend on the scar's age, size, and location.
How soon will I see the results of laser scar removal?
The timeline for seeing results from scar removal can vary. Some patients notice improvements after just one session, while others may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired outcome. Generally, the skin continues to improve over several months as collagen production is stimulated and the treated area heals. Your dermatologist will provide a personalized treatment plan to outline the expected timeline based on your individual case.
Are there any precautions to take before and after laser scar removal?
Before undergoing scar removal, it's important to avoid sun exposure, as tanned skin can increase the risk of complications. You should also avoid using certain skincare products that might irritate the skin. After treatment, protecting the treated area from the sun and following your dermatologist's care instructions is crucial to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
