Laser Scar Treatment in Tampa, FL

Scars can be difficult to prevent, but now you can erase them with our Erbium resurfacing laser treatment. The advanced laser technology of the Erbium Aesthetic System is able to revitalize your skin and reduce the appearance of surgical scars without causing painful side effects. We combine our different laser modalities when treating you to give you the best results.

The Erbium platform uses laser beams to revitalize scar tissue by encouraging skin cell turnover. As new tissues develop, they will lessen the appearance of surgical scars while improving the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Our laser scar treatments are revolutionary because they use the body’s own healing process to safely deliver results. Laser scar removal is suitable for most skin types and areas, including the face.

Laser scar treatments take about 30 minutes. Most patients will need two to three appointments to successfully reduce the appearance of surgical scars. Our skin resurfacing laser treatments are not painful, but a topical anesthetic can be applied before your procedure to reduce patient discomfort. The most common side effects usually include some temporary redness and swelling. Many patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure without experiencing any downtime.

How much does laser scar treatment cost?
The price of laser scar treatment depends on each patient's unique situation. During your consultation, Dr. Panchal will listen to your concerns before analyzing your skin to determine a treatment plan. Then, we can give you a more accurate estimate of cost. The Aesthetics Lab regularly offers treatment specials and packages, so ask for more information during your appointment.

How can I help my skin recover after a laser treatment?
Dr. Panchal or someone on her staff will give you tips on how you can help your skin heal after a laser treatment. The most important rule is do not peel or pick flaking skin. Doing this can cause long-term damage including scars. You need to forgo all hair removal methods in the treatment area, which means no shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams. We can suggest cream to help soothe and heal your skin.

How often should I get laser scar treatments?
Depending on your treatment plan, you may need to wait a few weeks or even months between treatments. Deep laser treatments will give you results that last a long time, but do need a lengthy recovery period. You should tell Dr. Panchal about how frequently you are willing to come back for treatments so she can consider this when creating a plan during your initial consultation.
