Laser therapy for scars is a non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure that uses focused light energy to target and treat the affected skin.

Different types of lasers may be used based on the specific scar type, color, and depth. Some commonly used lasers for scar treatment include:

1. Fractional CO2 lasers: These lasers deliver intense but fractionated beams of light, creating tiny columns of treated tissue within the scar. This promotes collagen production and skin remodeling.

2. Pulsed-dye lasers: These lasers target the redness in scars caused by increased blood vessels. They are often used for hypertrophic and keloid scars.

3. Nd:YAG lasers: These lasers can be used for various scar types, including surgical scars and acne scars. They work by heating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

4. Erbium lasers: These lasers are often used for surface-level scars and can help improve skin texture and pigmentation irregularities.

The exact procedure and number of sessions required will depend on the severity and type of scars being treated. Laser therapy for scars is generally well-tolerated, but some mild discomfort and redness may occur after treatment.
