What is a rumen?
A scar is a formation on the surface of the epidermis that results from an injury to the skin. Scar and scar are different names for the same formation. In everyday life we more often use the word scar, and among medical professionals it is customary to use the word scar.
When the skin is severely traumatized, the body tries to close the wound as quickly as possible. As a result, instead of normal epidermal cells, connective tissue cells are formed, which form a scar.
How do facial scars form?
Most often, facial scars form as a result of domestic negligence, illness or accident.
- Mechanical path. This includes any traumatization: scratching wounds, pimples, animal bites, plastic surgeries and piercings.
- Temperature. Thermal burns on the face can be caused by a poor quality cryotherapy procedure or the use of a cheap laser. Procedures such as upper lip waxing, CO2 laser facial resurfacing and IPL Photorejuvenation should only be performed with quality equipment.
- Diseases. The most common culprits of facial scars and scarring are chicken pox and acne. After chickenpox, multiple blisters appear on the skin. If they are scratched, small scars will remain after healing. Persistent acne or pimples also lead to facial scarring.
- Hereditary . The genetic factor in the formation of scars and scars on the face plays not the least role. If your skin is prone to scarring from birth, even from minor injuries, you are likely to have a hereditary predisposition. Whatever the cause of scarring, we strive to find the best way to remove facial scars. In order to determine the best option for laser resurfacing, we recommend consulting with a specialist. The doctor will carefully examine the scar, determine its type, size and age. It is these 3 parameters that play an important role in the removal of the scar on the face.
Types of scars
Depending on the type of scar or scar, the specialist changes the parameters of the laser beam. Some types of scars are perfectly removed with CO2 laser resurfacing. To remove others requires a comprehensive approach.
Please note! The older and more complex the scar, the more difficult it is to remove. In special cases, surgical excision of the scar followed by laser scar resurfacing may be necessary.
- Normotrophic scar . The easiest scar to correct. It is at the same level as the skin and has a pale color. The scar rarely bothers the patient and almost never causes complications. This scar can be easily removed with a CO2 laser.
- Hypertrophic. A hypertrophic scar is more likely to cause discomfort than others. It is located above the surface of the skin and can have different colors from pink to blue.
- Atrophic. An atrophic scar resembles a dimple in the skin. Stretch marks or striae are also referred to as atrophic scars. It is located below the surface of the skin and has a color ranging from pink to dark purple.
- Celloid. The most complex type of scarring. Externally, it looks like a well-defined edge, protruding above the skin. Usually accompanied by discomfort: itching, pain, burning, bleeding. Celloid scar is prone to actvinomu and sudden growth. It is most often formed in people with a predisposition to kelloid scars.
The essence of the procedure
A laser beam of a certain length and power penetrates the cell. The intracellular fluid is heated and vaporized, causing the cell to be destroyed. The vaporization process gently removes a thin layer of skin, allowing the body to replace the pathological cells with healthy ones.
As a result, the active synthesis of collagen and elastin is triggered, as well as the process of tissue regeneration. New, healthy skin grows in place of the scar or scar on the face.
Thanks to Coolaser CO2 technology, which has the thinnest laser beam in the world, laser scar resurfacing is suitable for all skin types.
Laser removal of facial scars
There are many ways to correct facial scars. Most of them have low effectiveness and are also time consuming for the patient.
Laser resurfacing of facial scars is an ideal solution to the problem. Modern technology allows you to quickly and qualitatively correct most scars and make them invisible.
1. Preliminary preparation.
Preliminary preparation is individualized and depends on the initial skin condition. In some cases, additional consultation with a dermatologist or surgeon may be required.
We also recommend that all patients take a general blood test before the procedure. This will help to exclude viral and infectious diseases that affect the result and recovery process. Other preparations include:
- No tanning 14 days before the procedure
- Discontinue certain medications 7 days in advance (if the medication is taken regularly, an adjustment to the medication is required)
- In 3 days, giving up alcohol
- If herpes is present, it is required to undergo anti-herpes therapy
2. Cleansing of the epidermis.
Any laser resurfacing of scars is performed only on cleansed facial skin. To do this, the specialist will remove all remnants of makeup and care products
3. Application of local anesthesia.
Laser resurfacing of facial scars, according to our patients, is an almost painless process. However, each patient has an individual pain threshold and skin sensitivity.
For your peace of mind, we will apply local anesthesia in the form of anesthetic cream or gel.
4. Individual adjustment of the length and power of the laser beam.
The doctor adjusts the laser equipment individually and immediately before the procedure.
5. Antiseptic treatment of the epidermal surface.
6. Laser resurfacing of facial scars.

Recovery after laser resurfacing of facial scars
The rehabilitation period depends directly on the type of scar and the amount of work performed. The first few days after laser scar removal, redness, swelling and crusting may occur.
This is a completely normal reaction of the body. During this time, it is not recommended to scratch or traumatize the scar.
- Do not use cosmetics for 5-7 days after the procedure
- Delicate washing with cool water without the use of rough washcloths and cleansing peels
- It is not recommended to visit sauna and bath for 1-1.5 months after the procedure
- It is not recommended to sunbathe or go to a tanning salon during the recovery period
- Be sure to use SPF sunscreen with high protection (both winter and summer) before going outdoors
- Delicate home care is allowed to accelerate healing. Cosmetic masks, moisturizing and nourishing serums will help the skin to recover faster
- A comprehensive approach and combination of laser resurfacing of scars on the face with other procedures will significantly accelerate rehabilitation and improve the result.
