Scar Reduction & Management: It’s A Journey

Any type of scar can have considerable negative impacts on your physical and mental health, even causing aesthetic and functional impairments.

At Remington Laser, we offer a combination of therapies designed to help reduce any physical symptoms and improve the appearance of your scars to help you regain your confidence.

Scar management can take time and may not fully restore your skin to its pre-injury state. However, our goal is to help you achieve both functional and visible improvements.

We Can Help Manage Various Types of Scars

At Remington Laser, we have the expertise, technology, and passion to treat various types of scars. Traumatic, surgical, acne, and keloid scars are complex injuries that have multiple characteristics that need to be addressed differently.

It’s essential to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that focuses on the individual features. Scar remodelling is a process, not a single event, and different modalities tend to work together to enhance outcomes.

Types of Scars

There are 4 types of scars we can help manage and improve at Remington Laser Dermatology.

Traumatic scars result from an injury such as burns, accidents, or signifcant skin damage. As they can vary greatly in type, size and characteristics, they require customized treatment plans to help manage them appropriately.

We have changed our focus to prevent excessive scarring by intervening early in the scar remodeling process, rather than waiting for scar tissue to form.

Starting treatment as early as 2 weeks post procedure, depending on the type of surgery and location, can help enhance outcomes. However, even old, mature scars can often be improved.

Acne scars vary in size, type, and color, so we offer multi-step customized treatment plan.. Skin preparation is an essential step in scar management to help control acne.

Following a medical grade or prescription skincare routine can help nurture healthy skin and enhance treatment results.

Resulting from an exaggerated healing response, keloid scars can be large and painful. They extend beyond the original site of injury and in some cases, form spontaneously.

Keloids usually require multiple steps within each treatment session to address colour, elevation and symptoms.

Our Treatment Technology

At Remington Laser, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment approaches and technologies aimed at effectively reducing scar tissue.

Scars can be complex injuries, but combining multiple therapies often improves results. After a thorough consultation, we can determine a suitable approach from our range of topical products, medicated injections, or laser treatments.

We’re proud to offer innovative technology, including Lumenis UltraPulse, Fotona SP Dynamis, and the Dp4 dermapen for microneedling. These treatments work by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process, encouraging it to produce fresh, healthy cells to replace scarred tissue.

Lumenis UltraPulse CO2 Deep FX and SCAAR FX create tiny, vertical heat zones, penetrating through the entire depth of the scar, breaking it up, and allowing for the enhanced delivery of medication.

As only a small portion of the scar is targeted, the surrounding healthy skin allows it to heal quite quickly.

The Dp4 dermapen is a microneedling technique that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to trigger collagen production, which aids in skin renewal and scar reduction.

The Dp4 can effortlessly glide over the skin, creating fine vertical channels that help improve the absorption of topical nutrients deeper into the skin. By combining collagen induction therapy with serum treatment, we can offer you a comprehensive solution.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to reduce redness and inflammation. Because IPL can break down excess melanin, the M22 IPL treatment can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

Lumenis M22 ResurFX delivers energy in a fractional pattern into the deep layers of the skin. The energy stimulates collagen production and scar remodelling.

The laser doesn’t harm the top of the skin but instead triggers a natural healing response in the deeper layers. There can be some initial swelling after the procedure.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

Nicole

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.

Dr. Kent Remington and Nurse Pam have been so positive with their guidance in my dermatological cosmetic journey so far. My last visit was life-changing, and I feel blessed to have these wonderful professionals in my life. I am over the moon with how I look. Thank you both for your expertise and personable approach!!!
