Benefits
The appearance of white scars can be effectively reduced through Excimer Laser Therapy. 

Treatment
The Excimer laser delivers a precisely targeted, high dose of ultraviolet light to the scarred tissue through a handpiece that rests directly on the skin. Treatment takes only five minutes. Six to ten treatments are typically required to reduce the appearance of scars.  Excimer Laser Therapy is ideal for reaching hard-to-treat areas and successfully treats patients with mild to moderate scarring.

Recovery
The most common side effect of this therapy is mild, short-lived sunburn. On rare occasions people may see some blistering and hyperpigmentation, which tends to be mild and short-lived. UV treatments also may cause dryness and itching and, over time, increase freckles and pigmentation of the skin.  This is minimized by the short duration of the treatments.
