For these patients, it is usually because the body produces too much collagen, and scars develop that are raised or appear darker in pigment. Raised scars are called keloid scars or hypertrophic scars, and are more common in those with darker skin tones and younger people. Scars can also develop with a pitted or sunken appearance. This kind of scarring occurs when the underlying structures supporting the skin (for example, fat or muscle) are damaged or lost.
Fortunately for his patients, Dr. Reis offers a simple yet highly effective pre- and postoperative skincare scar regimen that optimizes procedure outcomes and can dramatically reduce the visible appearance of surgical scars. Additionally, Dr. Reis offers CO2 Laser Resurfacing treatments for areas with suboptimal scars to significantly improve their overall appearance.

The Corrective Effects of Fractional Laser
Diminish The Appearance of Scars With CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing is an effective way to reduce the appearance of suboptimal surgical scars. Laser Skin Resurfacing works by sending out pulses of high-intensity energy that heats and vaporizes thin layers of skin, allowing new, fresh skin to grow over the treated area for a dramatically improved appearance in tone and texture. A dual benefit of Laser Skin Resurfacing is that the heat promotes collagen production, stimulating skin in the treatment area to heal with a more youthful, radiant appearance.
