At Dr. James Dsilva' Clinic, we provide a range of scar removal techniques that produce observably better cosmetic results. The way these cosmetic procedures treat scars and the kinds of scars they treat differ. A combined strategy involving several treatment techniques is frequently necessary for scars. This works for scars that are complicated and have special qualities that are impossible to treat with conventional unidimensional techniques.
Anaesthesia will be administered; however, it may be topical or injectable, contingent on the necessary course of treatment. Topical anaesthesia is most frequently used for superficial or non-invasive procedures, however local or even general anaesthesia may be utilised for surgical scar revision.
Dr. James Dsilva will go over your medical history, take into account any particulars of the nature and location of your scar, and create a personalised treatment plan during your appointment for scar revision.

What is Laser Scar Treatment?
Laser scar treatment is a medical procedure that uses focused light energy to improve the appearance of scars. It works by either removing the outer layer of the skin's surface or stimulating the production of new skin cells to cover damaged skin cells.
There are different types of lasers used for scar treatment, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Some common types include:
Pulsed dye laser (PDL): Targets red or purple scars by breaking down blood vessels.
Fractional laser: Creates tiny holes in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture.
Ablative laser: Removes the top layer of skin, promoting new skin growth.
Laser scar treatment will be performed by a plastic cosmetic surgeon Dr. James Dsilva in an outpatient setting. It may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results.
