About
Scars are caused by an overproduction or underproduction of collagen during the healing process. The ProFractional laser breaks down the existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen. The new collagen helps to heal existing wounds more evenly, improving their appearance.

REDUCES SCAR VISIBILITY
When scars develop, they may take on a number of appearances. Some scars are more raised and fleshy while others are thinner and long. They also occur in a wide variety of colors ranging from white to pink, red, and purple. Laser scar treatments will help ameliorate the appearance of a scar, reducing its visibility.
IMPROVES THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR SKIN
Laser scar treatments can help smooth your skin’s complexion and create a more even skin tone.
By reducing the visibility of scars, you can gain a noticeable improvement in your complexion. For many people, scars can be the source of extreme anxiety, especially when they occur in highly visible areas, such as the face. It can be difficult to hide certain scars using clothing or makeup.
INCREASES YOUR CONFIDENCE
When your skin doesn’t appear as bright and healthy as it should, you can begin to feel uncomfortable in your own body. By restoring your clear complexion, you can once again feel secure and confident with your appearance. Increased confidence and self-esteem often positively impact other aspects of your life because you are happier and more outgoing.

What Type of Scars Can Lasers Treat?
Laser treatment can effectively improve the appearance of nearly all scars, regardless of the type of scar or how old it is. The ProFractional laser from Sciton is just one of many tools that Dr. Bitter has available to treat scars. These treatments have been proven to reduce nearly all scars, no matter what their age. For most scars, the sooner they are treated, the faster they will disappear, and the better the results will be. Sciton’s innovative BroadBand Light (BBL) laser can effectively treat scars in as few as two weeks after surgery. BroadBand Light is the latest advancement in Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. BBL can improve the appearance of a scar in a little as one week.
