The appearance of ugly scars on the body and face can be associated with various factors. No person is insured against the occurrence of such cosmetic defects, regardless of gender, age and social status.

Although sometimes the scars turn out to be practically invisible, in most cases they give their owner pronounced discomfort and often become the cause of the development of psychological complexes.

That is why you want to get rid of scars and scars as soon as possible.

This can be done in various ways, but the most noticeable result can be achieved with skin resurfacing.

This procedure in the overwhelming majority of cases is carried out in a cosmetology clinic, however, there are certain opportunities to do it at home.

Causes of facial and body scars

1. Scars appear on the human body as a result of the replacement of skin tissues with connective tissue, which is always a consequence of the adverse effects of various external factors. Most often, such defects are found after the healing of injuries and mechanical damage - cuts, tears and others, thermal lesions of the skin - burns and frostbite, as well as as a result of past dermatological and other diseases.
2. The face and body of young women is very often covered with ugly small and large scars, called post-acne. This is one of the consequences of acne, which very often accompanies adolescence, pregnancy and other periods in the life of beautiful women.
3. It should be noted that wounds on the skin do not always leave behind ugly scars. In the event that the damage has affected exclusively the upper layer of the human skin, the epidermis, after healing there will be no trace of it. If the dermis is directly affected by trauma or adverse effects of a certain external factor, for example, too high a temperature, serious treatment will be required to get rid of the scars, one of the elements of which is skin resurfacing.

What is scar and scar resurfacing?

Resurfacing the skin from scars does not completely remove these ugly cosmetic defects, it only makes them much lighter, as a result of which they become almost invisible.

• There are quite a few ways to carry out this procedure, but in the overwhelming majority of cases today laser resurfacing of scars on the face and body is used, which allows you to achieve excellent results quickly and painlessly.
• This method of treatment is carried out exclusively in a cosmetology clinic. During laser resurfacing, the doctor carefully applies the laser to the problem area of the skin, working through layer by layer, as a result of which most of the cells of existing scars are removed.
• Laser resurfacing of scars on the face and body not only makes cosmetic defects almost invisible, but also helps to increase the rate of cell regeneration and collagen synthesis. Thanks to this, the complexion noticeably improves, the first age-related changes disappear, and the patient's appearance becomes much more attractive.
• Laser resurfacing of a scar after cesarean is especially popular among women. Many of the fair sex, who had to go through this difficult operation, in the future hesitate to undress on the beach and show a bare belly. To get rid of this complex, a scar left on a woman's body after surgery can be removed with a laser completely bloodless and painless.

Benefits of laser scar resurfacing
