What is Pixel laser?

In this technology, the Pixel laser treats only a small fraction of the skin at a time (about 25-35%), and leaves the rest of the skin unaffected. There may be a slight redness for one day & the patient can go to work the very same day. Treatment is quick- only 15 minutes.

Why is it better?

It works well for irregular scars like oval, linear, post injury scars. Healing and recovery are rapid. It is a very safe, effective & painless treatment. 4-6 sessions are needed once in 2-3 weeks. It by itself gives 60% results.

Derma roller

In this method, an instrument called Derma roller consisting of tiny needles is rolled over the scars. It is done after applying an anaesthetic cream to the treatment area to be left for about 35-40min. It is followed by mild redness & swelling of the treated area for 2-3 days. It is done once in 3-4 weeks and is useful for scars which are deeper and have loose skin.

Here, a chemical called Trichloro Acetic Acid is applied onto the Scars. It results in mild redness of the treated area lasting for 1-2 days. It gives good results for the tiny pinhole like scars. It is a painless procedure & no anaesthesia needed.

Subscision

In this technique, after local injection of anesthesia, a needle is inserted underneath the skin to break the fibers that have been pulling the scar down. This relaxes the scars & the scar is lifted up. This also results in mild redness & swelling of the treated area for 3-4 days.

Punch Elevation

Here, a punch is used to treat the round regular scars. 2-3 mm punch with cutting edge is used to lift the scars. It is also done under local anaesthesia.

How to apply creams?
