Scar Excision and Tattoo Removal
Operation Description
Scars can result from injuries, surgeries, or healed acne, often causing aesthetic disturbances, especially when on the face, making the skin uneven. Scar removal at Colić Hospital is performed using lasers to stimulate skin regeneration. This process creates new, youthful skin that gradually covers the scar. Additionally, the laser works on the scar's pigmentation, making it less noticeable.
