Scar excision
Operation Description
Scars can appear as a result of injuries, surgeries, or healed acne, and often cause aesthetic concerns, especially when located on the face because they make the skin uneven and less uniform. Scar removal at Special Hospital Colić is performed using lasers. We use lasers to stimulate regeneration and renewal of the skin. This process creates new, youthful skin that gradually covers the scar. Additionally, the laser affects the scar’s pigmentation, making it more neutral and less noticeable.
If you have a scar and want to significantly reduce its visibility, schedule a consultation at +38169 3699801. At Colić Hospital, you will be welcomed by one of our expert specialists in aesthetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery who will discuss your motives and expectations for the procedure and explain all the details.

Preparation
Scar reduction does not require any special preparation. It is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure and aggressive cosmetics on the treated area for a few days before the procedure. Upon arrival for the scheduled laser therapy, the skin should be clean and free of any oily products. It is advised to avoid aspirin and herbal supplements that can affect blood coagulation and complicate scar or tattoo removal.
Operation time
The treatment may cause only mild discomfort, so anesthesia is generally not needed. The laser is directed at the treatment area, and by heating the targeted skin changes, the scars are treated. Several sessions are usually required, as determined by the physician based on scar size. Each treatment lasts about 30 minutes.
Recovery
After scar reduction treatment, patients can return to daily activities. It is advised to avoid intense physical activity, swimming pools, saunas, aggressive cosmetics, and similar factors. Continuous sun protection is necessary if the treatment is performed on sun-exposed areas of the body.
Safety precautions
Laser scar removal does not carry significant complications. It is important to complete the prescribed number of treatments. Mild redness and sensitivity of the treated skin may occur. Serious complications such as infections and bleeding are very rare. By following the doctor’s post-treatment instructions, avoiding sun exposure, and using appropriate skincare products, all complications can likely be prevented.
