It is important to understand that there are many types of scars. The same treatment cannot be used on hyperpigmented scars, red scars, atrophic scars or fibrous scars. For example, a recent scar (red scar) should be seen to more urgently than an old scar.
At Clinic Lémanic we design scar treatment plans on a case-specific basis. Lasers are almost always used, sometimes in conjunction with other equipment. Patients at Clinic Lémanic enjoy the most advanced technology and techniques in the field. We use a spectrum of lasers, classed as high-performance Energy Based Devices (EBD), to achieve the best possible treatment results for our patients.
Fractional lasers are most commonly used. They can reduce different types of scars, facial pores and certain types of stretch marks. Fractional lasers are particularly effective when used to support the healing of post-surgical scars resulting in less visible scarring after an operation. Treatment should ideally start immediately after the removal of sutures as the more recent a scar is, the faster and more effective the treatment.
Fractional laser treatment can be used on the body and the face. It is harmless, comfortable, fast, and requires little recuperation time, allowing patients to return to their normal activities without delay. Fractional lasers can be used on men and women of any age.
Fractional lasers function according to the principal of selective photothermolysis. This is a recent technique which treats the skin using light energy which is emitted from the laser in several microscopic columns (as opposed to a single beam). Thanks to this technology fractional lasers produce a fine matrix of alternating treated and untreated skin which ensures rapid and even healing. As opposed to ablative laser therapies, the technique works at a deeper level yet allows for fast healing (four to five days) and less intensive aftercare. It is important to note that scars can have multiple causes and they may require a custom treatment plan. The doctor will assess the specific nature of your scar and recommend the type of laser and technique most suited to your problem. For the best results, at Clinic Lémanic we tend to combine several treatments using different equipment:
In the case of extensive scars, a topical anaesthetic can be used to render the treatment painless, treat several areas at the same time and advance the treatment more rapidly.
A commonly held but incorrect belief is that a scar or post-operative wound should be allowed to heal for a few months before deciding on a treatment plan. This advice is sometimes influenced by the fact that not all doctors are aware of or have access to laser treatments appropriate for this kind of treatment. The best results are achieved if treatment begins when a scar is still red and fresh.
It is the prerogative of the patient to seek the advice of a specialist dermatologist to assess the options for laser therapy in the case of post-operative lesions. Fractional lasers improve the appearance of scars on the face and body and this technique has several advantages:

Consultation
Procedure
Post treatment
Consultation
During your consultation, our specialist doctor will perform a detailed diagnostic exam of the area concerned and determine the appropriate treatment plan based on specific criteria presented by your case. This essential step is used to determine which procedure or combination of treatments will yield the best results in your case. The doctor then elaborates a customised treatment plan.
Procedure
Fractional laser treatment does not typically necessitate local anaesthetic but in cases where the treatment area is sensitive for any reason, a topical anaesthetic cream usually suffices to numb the area.
The duration of a treatment session can vary between 30 minutes and 2:30 hours. Mixed treatments using different laser types may take longer. You will be in a comfortable prone position throughout the procedure. You will be able to listen to your favourite relaxing music during the session.
To ensure fast and even healing, Clinic Lémanic uses healing support products. These are applied after the treatment to help your skin heal.
Post treatment
It is vital to apply sun protection for as long as it takes for post-treatment redness to completely disappear. Treatment should be followed up with one or two appointments to monitor the results.
The frequency of sessions is variable. At Clinic Lémanic we tend towards an average of 2 to 4 sessions to erase skin imperfections and obtain the best results.
Sport can be resumed after 2 days. If the laser treatment is performed on the face, social downtime of 2 to 4 days is necessary. For treatments on the body, you can resume your normal work and leisure activities immediately.

Due to state of the art fractional lasers, you will find your skin smoother and more even one month after the treatment. The overall appearance of the face or body will be permanently and visibly improved because the laser treatment both eliminates imperfections and closes pores. The full effects of anti-scar fractional laser treatment can be seen after six months and are permanent.
Fractional laser treatments have existed for more than 10 years. They are a proven technology. Healing is rapid and the results are impressive. Fractional lasers can be used on almost every type of scar tissue.
This treatment is particularly indicated for scarring following a caesarean section. The laser works to activate collagen production and improves the appearance of the scar. Excellent results are also achievable on acne scarring; leaving the skin smooth and even.
In the case of complex scars, fractional laser treatment can be combined with other techniques. The dermatological examination is essential for establishing a specific treatment plan designed for your skin.
