Scar Treatment with Palomar Laser Icon

Posted August 21, 2012 in Skin and Laser

Sometimes a scar does not just affect you physically but emotionally as well. Most people are embarrassed or uncomfortable with the appearance of scars on their body. Whether you have acne scars, surgical scars, or scars that resulted from an injury, you may be ready to improve their sight and quality.

Fortunately, I offer an effective, non-invasive solution for treating scar deformities. Using the Palomar Aesthetic Laser Icon our state-certified laser technician, Kristina Feliz, will skillfully perform this procedure with ease. The Palomar Laser Icon can directly diminish the patient’s scarring without harming the healthy skin around it. The pulse from the laser light renews scar tissue and promotes the production of collagen to improve the appearance of the scar.  In comparison to surgery, the Palomar Laser Icon offers fast, effective scar reduction with very little risk and less downtime. The handpiece also has an advanced cooling system that is delivered immediately to the skin tissue to lessen pain. Directly after the treatment, patients may experience mild redness to the skin and/or a sensation of heat.  This usually only lasts about two to three days. Most patients can return to work immediately after a treatment.

A major benefit of laser scar reduction with Palomar Icon is that it can be used on all skin types, while many other laser systems are limited to specific candidates.

If you are interested in scar removal with the Palomar Laser Icon, please call 480.890.0600. We are happy to answer your questions regarding your skincare options with the Palomar Icon™ Aesthetic System. I look forward to meeting with you for a consultation.
