Scar Revision

Scars are the result of damage to the skin, from scrapes and incisions to chicken pox and acne. The more severe the injury, the slower the healing time and the more likely a noticeable scar will remain. Fortunately today there are several effective options for minimizing the appearance of scars.

The skin technicians at SoLux Med Spa in Chicago have extensive experience in treating and minimizing scars with the latest technology and treatments. Following an initial consultation and exam, the SoLux technician will develop a treatment plan that addresses the patient’s particular needs. Optimal treatment depends on several factors, including the scar type, whether hypertrophic, in which excess collagen causes the scar to be raised, or atrophic, in which the scar forms a sunken recess in the skin.

SoLux Med Spa uses Palomar Medical’s fractional laser technology as the foundation for their acne and surgical scar removal procedures. High-energy light beams allow for the removal or reshaping of areas that are affected by scar tissue. Raised and reddened scars may be most effectively treated by IPL treatments. While many acne scars react effectively to laser skin resurfacing.

In addition, SoLux often combines laser treatments with chemical peels and microdermabrasion to achieve the finest results.

With today’s available treatments and technology, there is no reason to live with scars, or suffer the pain and risk of surgical removal. Schedule a free consultation with SoLux Med Spa to learn more.
