Individuals with healthy skin and good healing capacity typically do not develop noticeable scars when appropriate laser equipment and parameters are used. Selecting the correct type of laser according to the specific type of pigmentation and having the procedure performed by an experienced physician can effectively reduce the risk of scarring.
However, caution is needed: if you have a scar-prone constitution, or if the laser penetrates too deeply and damages the deep dermis or subcutaneous tissue, scarring may result. Improper control of treatment depth and duration, leading to excessive thermal injury, may easily cause depressed (atrophic) or hypertrophic scars.
It is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility promptly, undergo careful evaluation by a physician, and receive treatment administered by qualified medical professionals.
