Burn Scar Laser Treatment Description
BURN GRADES AND TREATMENT ELIGIBILITY
Burns are classified into three grades:
First-Degree Burns: These affect only the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and may cause redness and minor pain. They typically heal without scarring and do not require laser treatment.
Second-Degree Burns: These affect both the epidermis and the second layer of skin (dermis). They can cause blisters and may result in scarring. Laser treatment can be effective for these scars, especially if they are mature and stable.
Third-Degree Burns: These penetrate through the skin layers and damage underlying tissues. They often result in significant scarring and texture changes. Laser treatment may be performed, but it depends on the individual’s specific healing process and the stability of the scar.
Burns that cannot be treated by laser include:
Fourth-Degree Burns: These extend beyond the skin into muscle and bone. Due to the extent of tissue damage, laser treatments are not appropriate.
How It Works...
The Burn Scar Laser Treatment involves a two-step process:
Pico Laser Treatment:
The Pico Laser laser emits precise energy that penetrates the skin to target and break down the discolored and textured areas of the scar. This process stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and a more even appearance.
E-LIGHT Therapy:
E-LIGHT therapy utilises a combination of light and radio frequency to rejuvenate the skin around the scar. This enhances blood flow and stimulates collagen and elastin production, further improving the appearance of the scarred area.
The advantages of Burn Scar Laser Treatment include:
Non-invasive procedures with minimal discomfort
Comprehensive approach to scar reduction and skin rejuvenation
Visible improvements in skin clarity and texture
