Enjoy laser scar removal with Washington, DC, area professional

While lasers often remind us of science fiction movies and space cartoons, many don’t realize how many areas of medicine use laser light for medical purposes. Laser light is used in many fields of the health system and can also be used to improve the skin’s appearance. Dr. Cheryl Burgess is a board-certified dermatologist in Washington, DC, who is pleased to offer laser treatments for patients who are looking for scar removal options. Our professional team is here to help!

What type of scars can laser therapy address?

Laser scar removal can be used on most scars that might be present on the skin, including:

• Acne scarring
• Burn scars
• Hypertrophic scars
• Keloids
• Surgical scars
• Trauma scars

Many of these scars, especially if present on the face, can be difficult to disguise using cosmetics. Instead, patients should look into their options for treatment, including laser scar removal with our professionals.

Am I a good candidate for laser scar removal?

Determining if laser treatment will work for your scars starts with a consultation appointment and initial evaluation with Dr. Cheryl Burgess of the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery. She can determine what type of scar is present and provide options for patients to choose from. Laser therapy is not the only way to address scars, so it is best to have an open discussion with our professionals to find out what type of treatment will provide the most noticeable ( and affordable!) results.
