Jakie blizny można usunąć laserem Fotona?

Laserem leczymy blizny chirurgiczne (w tym po cięciu cesarskim), pourazowe, poparzeniowe, potrądzikowe (zanikowe i przerosłe) oraz po ospie wietrznej — na wszystkich etapach gojenia, od świeżych ze szwami po wieloletnie. Wyjątkiem są bardzo silnie ukrwione keloidy.

Czy laser usuwa blizny po cięciu cesarskim?

Tak. Blizny po cięciu cesarskim to częste wskazanie. Blizny świeże podgrzewamy wiązką Nd:YAG, by zapobiec przerostowi, a zagojone frakcjonujemy laserem Er:YAG — poprawiając koloryt, grubość i strukturę blizny.

Ile zabiegów laserowego usuwania blizn potrzeba?

W zależności od grubości, głębokości i rozległości blizny pełna terapia obejmuje zwykle od 4 do 10 zabiegów co 4 tygodnie. Terapię kontynuuje się aż do satysfakcjonującego efektu — na każdym etapie można ją zakończyć lub wydłużyć.

Czy laser usuwa blizny wypukłe i przerostowe?

Tak. Blizny wypukłe i przerostowe wyrównujemy techniką zimnej ablacji (odparowanie powierzchni do poziomu okalającej skóry) w połączeniu z podgrzaniem struktur kolagenowych. Bardzo silnie ukrwione keloidy stanowią jednak przeciwwskazanie.

Kiedy widać efekty usuwania blizn laserem?

Pierwsze efekty są widoczne po zagojeniu (mikrostrupki schodzą w 7–14 dni), a przebudowa kolagenu i poprawa struktury blizny narastają przez kolejne tygodnie i miesiące serii. Efekt jest indywidualny i zależy od typu oraz wieku blizny.

Ile kosztuje laserowe usuwanie blizn?

Cena zaczyna się od 300 zł i zależy od wielkości oraz typu blizny. Dokładną wycenę ustalamy na konsultacji. Pełny cennik znajdziesz na stronie cennika.

Laser Scar Removal Warsaw — Fotona Er:YAG

02 — About the Treatment

Fotona laser scar removal — how it works

Fotona laser treatments are modern methods of removing and treating post-traumatic, surgical and acne scars at every stage of healing — from fresh scars (even with stitches still in place), through newer, red scars, to mature, pale scars, including scars that are several years old. Fresh scars are treated with the Nd:YAG beam, which warms the newly forming collagen, lowering the risk of scar overgrowth. Healed scars undergo Er:YAG fractional treatment with the F-Runner scanner — dozens of micro-injuries per cm² of the scar, surrounded by healthy skin, heal quickly, producing new collagen and improving the colour, thickness and structure of the scar.

How scars form and how the laser remodels them

Scars form as a result of deep skin damage — the defect in the dermis is replaced by fibrous connective tissue. A scar may be hypertrophic/keloid (raised, firm, often red) or atrophic (depressed, common with acne). The Fotona laser works through synergy: Er:YAG fractional treatment of the scar (a network of micro-injuries that rebuild collagen), cold ablation (vaporising the surface of raised and overgrown scars to level them) and controlled warming of the dermis (remodelling deeper collagen structures and stimulating fibroblasts). At Velvet Skin Clinic we perform the treatment with three Er:YAG and Nd:YAG handpieces — a full or fractional beam, the R11 manual handpiece or the digital F-Runner scanner.

04 — Technology · Er:YAG and Nd:YAG Synergy

How the Fotona laser remodels a scar

01

Er:YAG fractional treatment

The F-Runner / F-22 scanner creates a network of micro-injuries surrounded by healthy skin — intensive collagen rebuilding within the scar.

02

Cold ablation

Vaporising the surface of raised and overgrown scars to level it with the surrounding skin.

03

controlled Nd:YAG heating

Controlled warming of the dermis remodels deeper collagen structures and stimulates fibroblasts to produce elastin.

The choice of handpiece (R11, F-Runner), beam (full/fractional) and effect (ablative/thermal) depends on the type, age and depth of the scar. For comfort, the skin is cooled with the Cryo6 cooling device.

What we help with

What laser scar removal helps with

We use this treatment for 2 indications. It works a little differently for each of them — below we describe what exactly it does in each case.

01

Acne scars

A separate Fotona procedure targeted at the scar itself, not the whole surface of the face — matched to the stage of healing and the nature of the lesion. We choose it when there are a few clearly defined scars, instead of working on the entire complexion.

Scars on the body

A treatment matched to the stage of healing and the nature of the scar — we work differently with a fresh C-section scar than with a years-old, contracted one. For post-surgical scars it is the method of first choice.

08 — Scientific Research

What research says about laser scar therapy

Laser scar treatment (ablative fractional Er:YAG, combination therapy) is the subject of studies and meta-analyses. The papers below concern fractional laser technology — the mechanism common to laser scar removal.

Er:YAG fractional · meta-analysis

Atrophic acne scars

A meta-analysis and systematic review compared fractional CO2 and fractional Er:YAG in the treatment of atrophic acne scars — both methods effectively improve the appearance of scars.

Er:YAG 2940 · post-traumatic scars

Early post-traumatic phase

A study of fractional Er:YAG 2940 nm resurfacing demonstrated safety and efficacy in the treatment of post-traumatic scars as early as the initial period after the injury.

PubMed →

Fractional + PRP · histopathology

Scar collagen remodelling

A comparative clinical-immuno-histopathological study confirmed collagen remodelling in atrophic scars after fractional laser treatment (with and without platelet-rich plasma).

PubMed →

The cited studies concern fractional laser technology, not a specific device brand. The number and type of treatments are determined by a specialist; results depend on the type, age and depth of the scar.

09 — Treatment Step by Step

What laser scar removal looks like

First, a detailed review of your medical history is carried out to rule out contraindications. After the skin is cleansed and disinfected, the treatment is performed, and the treated area is cooled with the Cryo6 cooling device. Immediately after the treatment the skin may be very red and swollen; slight bleeding may occur, and a small amount of fluid may ooze from the treated area — this subsides within 1–2 days. Micro-scabs then form and heal over the following 7–14 days.

10 — Aftercare

Aftercare recommendations — scar removal

After the treatment the skin needs protection and gentle care. Micro-scabs and peeling are a normal and expected part of healing; leave them undisturbed.

Protect from the sun (SPF 50+)

For at least 4 weeks, keep the treated area out of the sun; use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen.

Avoid heat and exertion

For 5 days, skip the sauna, intense exercise and anything that dilates blood vessels.

Gentle skincare

Mild cleansers (Cetaphil) and soothing creams (Avene Cicalfate, Alantan); no soap or alcohol-based toners.

Do not pick at the scabs

Let the micro-scabs fall off on their own — this lowers the risk of discolouration and complications.

Follow your treatment plan

A full course is usually 4–10 treatments every 4 weeks, with a follow-up around 6 weeks after the last session.

16 — Questions and Answers

Frequently asked questions — laser scar removal

Which scars can be treated with the Fotona laser?

We use the laser to treat surgical scars (including C-section scars), post-traumatic, burn, acne (atrophic and hypertrophic) and chickenpox scars — at every stage of healing, from fresh scars with stitches to older scars. The exception is highly vascularised keloids.

Does the laser remove C-section scars?

Yes. C-section scars are a common indication. We warm fresh scars with the Nd:YAG beam to lower the risk of overgrowth, and treat healed ones with Er:YAG fractional passes — improving the colour, thickness and structure of the scar.

How many laser scar removal treatments are needed?

Depending on the thickness, depth and extent of the scar, a full course usually includes 4 to 10 treatments every 4 weeks. Therapy continues until you are happy with the result — at any stage it can be concluded or extended.

Does the laser remove raised and hypertrophic scars?

Yes. Raised and hypertrophic scars are levelled with the cold ablation technique (vaporising the surface down to the level of the surrounding skin) combined with warming of the collagen structures. Highly vascularised keloids, however, are a contraindication.

When are the results of laser scar removal visible?

The first results are visible once the skin has healed (micro-scabs come off in 7–14 days), and collagen remodelling and improvements in scar structure build up over the following weeks and months of the course. The result is individual and depends on the type and age of the scar.

How much does laser scar removal cost?

The price starts from 300 zł and depends on the size and type of the scar. We set the exact quote during a consultation. You will find the full price list on our pricing page.
