Fractional Laser Treatment (Scarring Treatment)

If after your limb-lengthening process has finished successfully and you don’t like the way your scars look, we have great advice for you to get rid of your scarring up to 99%. Fractional Laser Treatment, Scarring Treatment in other words, is one of most efficient treatments. For most of our patients, the scars heal as their limb-lengthening journey ends but because of the external fixator, for our LON (Combined) patients especially, the scars might be irritating. Fractional Laser Treatment has come to your rescue for your aesthetic concerns.

What is Fractional Laser Treatment?

It is a non-invasive treatment, which means without needing to insert anything under the skin, the esthetician uses a laser device that targets the scarred skin and the device resurfaces it.

This is how it looks during the treatment. The laser device’s beam is divided into microscopic zones that treat the surface of the scar pixel by pixel. When it is healed, the scar becomes invisible. The pictures of patients before and after the treatment are towards the end of the article.

The Difference between Fractional Laser and Other Laser Treatments

Fractional Laser Treatment is the latest technology for scar healing because it works on both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. Before the fractional laser was created, the ablative laser technique only treated the epidermis, which is the skin cells that are on the surface, and the non-ablative technique only treated the dermal, which is the mid-layer of the skin.

1 Fractional Laser Treatment session takes only 20-25 minutes and it is guaranteed that %80 of the scar will be gone in just one session. Although for most, the scar goes away in only one session, it might take 1 or 2 more sessions depending on the skin color and structure. With your second session, it is guaranteed that %99 of the scar will be diminished.
