Treatment of atrophic scars on face and body in Paris 7^e

In some cases, we may propose a surgical revision: the scar is removed and a new one created.

This technique can be effective, but it is somewhat risky. The new scar is necessarily a little longer than the old one, and atrophy may well recur. The result may not be as good as the initial situation.

Volumizing products such as hyaluronic acid or fat can be injected into the scar. This procedure is regularly effective in treating the hollow nature of the area. It does not treat any redness and has no smoothing or erasing properties. What’s more, the effect is not permanent, and regular re-injections are required. In the case of hyaluronic acid injections, the main advantage is the regular simplicity and swiftness of the treatment.

Atrophic scars are the indication of choice for fractional ablative or non-ablative lasers such as the Fraxel laser.

Deep heating of the skin induces new collagen synthesis, which fills in the area to be treated. On palpation, the scar looks more like normal, denser skin. Visually, the dermabrasion induced by these lasers improves the aesthetic appearance of scars, even making them disappear in the case of the finest and smallest scars.

These lasers are therefore particularly suitable for this indication. However, in the most difficult cases involving large, deep scars, laser-induced improvement may be only marginal.

Fraxels Dual and Repair lasers are the most effective lasers for not only fighting acne scars, but also preventing skin aging and reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
