Symptoms Treated
Scars are a normal part of the skin’s healing process and everyone experiences scarring at least once in their lives. Unfortunately, some scars can turn into unattractive blemishes that can begin affecting your self-esteem. Fortunately, the appearance of scars can be reduced and in some cases, eliminated completely.
Scars form when the second deepest layer of the skin, the dermis, is damaged. This could be due to injury, surgery or even weight loss or gain. Once the skin is injured, the body starts working to repair the wound by creating a scab and producing collagen to renew the skin.
If collagen is produced too quickly, it may not be able to replicate the exact patterns that are present across the rest of your skin, which is when scars can appear. If too much collagen is produced, the scar can look raised.
There are also several different factors that can affect the appearance of your scars and determine how easily you scar too. These include age, skin tone, the location of the injury and hormones.
These are the various types of scars that can be treated at Clinica Lase:
Everyone scars differently and while scars can lighten over time, some won’t ever go away without additional assistance.
At Clinica Lase, there are various ways that we can treat scars so that you can enjoy a clear and smooth skin. Some of the treatments that can be used to reduce the appearance of scars include Excel V, Laser Genesis, LED light therapy, Pico Genesis, skin needling and chemical peels.
Your clinician will develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs once your skin has been analysed during your consultation.
Before your treatment commences, your clinician will discuss your medical history, past treatments and your skin’s condition with you. This will provide us with the full picture that is required to create a skin treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs.
Before the laser is applied, your skin will be cleaned and prepped. Patients can usually expect a warming sensation once the laser is applied to their skin, a sensation that is tolerable. If you are concerned about discomfort, a topical cream can be used before the laser is applied.
If you will be receiving a chemical peel, you can expect a tingling sensation after the peel starts to dry and the chemicals begin taking effect.
Skin needling may also be slightly uncomfortable for some but the treatment is very quick and the results are exceptional.
The average treatment will last between 20 and 30 minutes and most patients should bargain on needing more than one treatment before the desired results are achieved.
You clinician will explain to you what you can expect after your treatment and how you can care for your skin going forward.
The condition of your skin and the supplements and medications that you’re taking can all affect the results of your scar treatment at Clinica Lase.
Patients should refrain from tanning or using any self-tanners for at least two weeks prior to their appointment. Your clinician will also tell you whether there are any products or medications that you should stop using before your treatment as certain ingredients can cause adverse effects.
If at any point your skin is injured and you have an open wound, you will need to reschedule your appointment at Clinica Lase.
Side effects will vary between patients but most laser and skin treatments don’t require much down time, if any at all.
Patients can expect some mild swelling and redness after their treatment, which subsides after several hours. It’s very important to avoid direct sun exposure for a week or two after your treatment and to always protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen.
Your clinician will let you know whether there are any products that you can use to accelerate the healing process.
Every treatment at Clinica Lase is carried out by qualified and experienced clinicians who also have government approved laser safety qualifications. All of our lasers are medical-grade, which means they are 100% safe and effective for the treatment of scars. We draw on our years of experience and in-depth knowledge to provide each of our patients with a tailored skin treatment plan. To assess the skin’s reaction to our treatments and to gauge each patient’s comfort levels, we will test a small patch of skin before carrying out the full treatment.
Diversity within treatments is how we can get some of our best results. Not one shoe fits all is one of our mottos at Clinica Lase. Here we have combined Pico Genesis and LimeLight to achieve the desired result, a beautiful more even complexion.

The cool weather and heating can often leave our skin feeling dull, dehydrated and sensitive. One of our go to products this winter is the PCA Hyaluronic mask. One ingredient that makes this product so special is Sodium Hyaluronate – a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid that occludes the skin, attracting and holding 1,000 times its weight in moisture within the skin. PCA's Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask is great all for seasons but especially in winter when we need that extra boost of luxurious nourishment.

Why is winter the best time to have laser hair removal?
It’s not just so we can be silky smooth and hair free by summer! The wavelength we use to target the hair follicle is not colour blind. This means that if you have been exposed to the sun or have fake tan on the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair as well as in the skin. This can then lead to unwanted adverse reactions. Therefor it is always best to start your laser hair removal journey through the cooler months.
