Laser Procedures – StarLux® Laser by Palomar
For Acne and Other Scars
Scars are caused by damage to the dermis, the deep layer of the skin below the surface. A scratch, cut, surgical incision, acne pustules, deep burns, or any trauma that goes deep into the skin will injure the dermis. If the dermis cannot regenerate itself enough to replace all of the damaged tissue, a depression exists in the skin which appears as a visible scar. During treatment with the StarLux® Laser, pulses of fractional laser light break down scar tissue, triggering new tissue to form in its place.
