The Benefits of Laser Treatment for Scar Reduction
Laser treatment has emerged as an effective solution for flattening and lightening scars. This safe yet expensive treatment has gained popularity in recent years due to its remarkable results. However, it is important to note that achieving the desired effect often requires multiple visits to the dermatologist’s office.
Unfortunately, health insurance providers typically do not cover the costs associated with laser therapy. As a result, some individuals may choose not to pursue this option due to financial constraints.
Surgery: A Common but Not Always Effective Treatment for Keloid Scars
When it comes to treating keloid scars, surgery is often the go-to method. However, it may not always be the most productive approach. In fact, studies show that in 70-100% of cases, keloids tend to grow back even larger after surgical removal, especially if surgery is the sole treatment option.
To increase the chances of preventing keloid regrowth, combining surgery with other forms of treatment is recommended. These additional treatments may include steroid injections, pressure therapy, laser therapy, or radiation therapy. Among these options, pressure therapy following surgery has shown the most promising results in inhibiting the regrowth of keloid scars.
