Why Scars Happen After Surgery
No matter how minimal, any surgical procedure will leave some form of scar. In procedures like liposuction, tummy tuck, breast reduction, or top surgery, a scar of approximately 1cm is common. At Evita Clinic, we understand that patients want to minimize these visible reminders of surgery. That’s why we offer free scar treatment using advanced Mosaic eCO2 Fractional Laser.
What is a Scar?
A scar is a natural part of the healing process. When skin is injured—either through surgery or trauma—the body initiates a repair process that includes skin regeneration, collagen production, and new blood vessel formation. During this process, dense connective tissue forms to close the wound, resulting in a scar.
How Can Scars Be Treated?
Scar treatment methods vary depending on the type, depth, and location of the scar. Options include:
- Surgical Revision Surgery: This involves cutting out the old scar and re-closing the wound with meticulous technique to produce a finer, less noticeable scar.
- Steroid Injections: Steroid medications are injected directly into hypertrophic or keloid scars to reduce inflammation and flatten raised tissue.
- Laser Therapy: Fractional lasers like the Mosaic eCO2 are used to resurface the skin, promote collagen regeneration, and smooth out uneven scar textures.
- Chemical Peeling: Chemical solutions are applied to the skin to remove its outer layers, helping to blend scars into the surrounding tissue.
- Variable Scar Materials: These include silicone tape or sheets, scar-reducing ointments, and pressure dressings—all aimed at flattening, fading, and softening scars.
- Filler or Fat Graft: For indented or atrophic scars, dermal fillers or a patient’s own fat can be injected to raise the skin to the level of the surrounding area.
Among these, fractional laser therapy has become a leading solution in dermatology.
Why Mosaic eCO2 Fractional Laser?
Evita Clinic uses the Mosaic eCO2 Fractional Laser, a state-of-the-art CO2 laser system approved by the Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). It is a minimally invasive laser that penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and skin regeneration.
Benefits:
- Short recovery time
- Effective for surgical and burn scars
- Minimal pain
- Reduced risk of side effects due to microbeam technology
- Enhances natural healing for smoother, healthier-looking skin
This technology avoids the grid-like pattern commonly seen in older laser systems, offering a more natural finish.
How It Works
The laser creates thousands of microscopic zones called microthermal treatment zones. These columns stimulate controlled injury and promote natural healing. Damaged tissue is replaced by new connective tissue, leading to a gradual improvement in scar texture and appearance.
Treatment typically takes less than 10 minutes and is repeated every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the scar’s severity and the patient’s skin condition.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
- The treatment is performed by trained professionals.
- You’ll be asked to keep your eyes closed and remain still during the session.
- Any mild discomfort can be managed with cooling right after the procedure.
- Redness and sensitivity may occur for a few days, but downtime is minimal.
