- depressed atrophic scars, often associated with acne scarring
- stretch marks
- post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, when the skin is darker than normal; and
- hypopigmentation, when the skin is lighter than normal

Scars and Stretch Marks How to prepare for an appointment
Scar revision is a laser treatment that can help to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. The Fotona SP Dynamis laser is a popular choice for scar revision, as it can help to break up scar tissue and promote the production of new collagen. Before your laser scar-revision appointment, it is important to clean the area to be treated and remove any makeup or moisturizer. You should also avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before the procedure. During the treatment, the laser will be passed over the scarred area multiple times. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. After the treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling, but this should resolve within a few days. Laser scar revision can help to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, giving you back confidence in your appearance.

In addition, it is important to keep the area clean and dry and to apply a sterile dressing if necessary. Finally, avoid strenuous activity or anything that could cause trauma to the area for at least two weeks.
