Avatar m tn True scars don't change that quickly. Perhaps he/she is using "scar" when a better term would be opacity. In any case laser scar removal is done only after the eye is quiet and infection/inflammation free and only works if the scar is on the superficial layers (it will not treat very deep scars).
Avatar n tn I recently saw a retina specialist who said that the retina change was from scar tissue due to the cold laser treatment. He said it was often the case that the vision improved after the initial treatment but deteriorated after 4 to 5 years from scaring. He said my vision lost was permanent. Because of the vision lost he said they no longer performed the cold laser treatment to stop fluid leakage. Is there something that can be done to restore my lost vision?

Avatar m tn i want to go for laser treatment. please tell me, Is laser treatment is 100% safe.
Avatar m tn The silicon scar gel sheets I used were provided to be by a plastic surgeon after surgery on my cheeks, and although they did reduce the scar by somewhere around 80%, I still got laser scar removal to completely erase the scar. As Grace pointed out, the genital skin is definitely much more thin, sensitive, and delicate, so products that should be used on it will be recommended to you by your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. Apply hydroquinone cream on this scar after consulting a dermatologist and it should go away in a few days to months. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.

Avatar n tn I have got another question, I heard that after the laser treatment, the retina will be burned and will be a scar, will the scar changed many year after??
Avatar m tn Hello, The lesion that you have described sounds like a scar with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment but it should be under a dermatologist’s guidance because the skin of penis is very thin and delicate. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion.
Avatar n tn A surgical scar revision may narrow them, but do not expect them to disappear. Other modalities of treatment like laser will probably not improve them. See a local plastic surgeon for advise.
Avatar m tn IF the scar is interfering with vision, sometimes a rigid lens may be used to smooth the cornea and allow vision. Other options for the scar include surgical removal with a laser if it is superficial or if it is deep, a corneal transplant may enable clear cornea. Speak with your doctor about the best options given its appearance for improving vision. Dr. Feldman Sandy T. Feldman, M.D., M.S.

Avatar n tn your link just said that the CO2 laser works really well with great cosmetic results. That laser, CO2 laser, is a relatively new laser, and does have a wide range of conditions that it can treat. Though there are numerous other lasers that can be used. Going for surgery may only cause more scar tissue growth and leave a similar marking on the lip. Talk to your doctor about your options and then decide from there.
