Frequently Asked Questions
You’re a good candidate for laser scar treatment if you have noticeable acne or trauma scarring on your face, arms, legs, or any other body region. This treatment is most successful at targeting and treating scars that are relatively recent, as they’re closer to the surface. Laser scar treatments are not ideal for ice-pick scars. All candidates should be healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their results.
A typical laser scar removal session with the Palomar Icon Laser takes about 20 minutes to perform. This procedure is non-invasive, so patients can go in and out of their session without worrying about downtime or recovery.
It usually takes about two to four laser scar removal sessions for patients to see a significant reduction in acne and trauma scarring. Patients will notice clearer skin with a more even tone; additionally, the new skin growth can help improve the overall complexion.
There’s no downtime associated with laser scarring treatments, although the targeted site might be a little red and warm to the touch for a few days after the procedure. You should wear sunscreen after your scar removal session, as your skin may be vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays.
