Introduction
Laser treatment for dark scars works by using high-energy light to break down melanin and repair the scar. The general reference price for laser treatment of dark scars is 1000-5000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed within 15-30 days. In most cases, laser therapy is suitable for removing dark scars, although results may vary from person to person. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician.

In general, laser therapy is suitable for removing dark scars, but results may vary from person to person. Detailed explanation is as follows:
Laser therapy directly targets damaged scar tissue with specific wavelengths of laser light, stimulating the breakdown and metabolism of melanin, thereby effectively reducing scar pigmentation. Additionally, the laser can promote the regeneration of collagen fibers in the dermis, achieving the goal of repairing damaged tissue and improving the texture and smoothness of the scar. For dark scars with significant color differences or heavy pigmentation, laser therapy can fade the scar color, making it closer to the color of the surrounding normal skin.
Laser therapy can also refine the texture of scars, making them softer and smoother, and gradually reduce the scar's size through multiple treatments. This is particularly effective for larger scars, as it can blur their edges and reduce the overall scar area.
If necessary, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician to reduce procedural risks. After treatment, patients should avoid getting the wound wet to prevent bacterial infection from water.
