Treatment and Correction of Scars with DEKA Laser; Saying Goodbye to Scars and Burns
The appearance of the skin plays a crucial role in beauty and self-confidence. However, factors such as cuts, stitches, burns, or deep acne can leave long-lasting marks known as scars. These scars often resist home remedies and topical creams, negatively affecting the skin’s texture and tone. In recent years, CO2 DEKA scar laser has gained popularity as one of the most advanced and effective technologies for skin regeneration and scar reduction. In particular, DEKA scar laser treatment can significantly improve the texture and color of stitch scars, helping the skin look smoother, healthier, and more natural.
What is a scar and why does it form?
A scar is actually part of the natural process of skin repair after injury. When the skin suffers a cut or burn, the body produces new collagen fibers to repair the damaged tissue. But in many cases, this reconstruction occurs irregularly and, as a result, a scar or burn mark remains on the skin.
Common types of scars include:
Hypertrophic scar: raised and red, usually at the site of the wound or stitch.
Keloid: protruding and thicker than normal skin tissue; sometimes painful or itchy.
Atrophic scar: depressed, such as an acne or pox scar.
Burn scar: associated with color changes, roughness, or contraction of the skin at the burn site.
Why is laser treatment the best option for scars?
In the past, common treatments such as plastic surgery, steroid injections, or microdermabrasion were used to improve scars. However, these methods were usually time-consuming, costly, and sometimes associated with side effects. Today, the use of CO2 DEKA scar laser—due to it high precision, minimal invasiveness, and very natural results—has become one of the most popular choices among patients and physicians.
The main advantages of scar treatment with DEKA laser include:
Natural skin reconstruction through stimulation of collagen production.
No need for surgery or stitches.
Minimal pain and bleeding.
Improvement in skin color, smoothness, and texture.
Short recovery period.
What is DEKA laser (CO2 DEKA)?
DEKA laser is one of the most advanced generations of fractional CO2 lasers. Using infrared light, it vaporizes damaged skin tissue and replaces it with new, healthy cells. This laser works with micron-level precision and targets only the necessary portions of the skin; therefore, the skin surrounding the treated area is not harmed.
With its precise settings, DEKA laser is used for various treatments including laser treatment of stitch scars, laser treatment of burn scars, wrinkle reduction, treatment of pigmented lesions, and even skin rejuvenation.
Treating stitch scars with DEKA laser
Stitch scars are among the most common scars that usually remain after surgical operations. In many patients, even over time, the color and texture of these stitch scars do not change and they may even become raised or darker. In the laser treatment for stitch scars using the DEKA device, controlled laser beams penetrate the superficial and mid-layers of the skin and, by stimulating tissue remodeling, reduce the color irregularity and raised appearance of the scar.
Advantages of DEKA laser for stitch scars:
Smoother skin at the stitch site.
Better color matching with surrounding skin.
Painless procedure, no need for general anesthesia.
Applicable for all skin types.
Treating burn scars with CO2 DEKA laser
Scars resulting from burns are usually among the most difficult wounds to treat. These lesions may cause skin stiffness, color change, or even functional limitations. Laser treatment of burn scars with the DEKA device is one of the effective and safe methods to improve such scars. In this method, the laser with controlled energy penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and softens the scar tissue, increases elasticity, and evens out skin color.
Many patients report a significant reduction in discoloration, roughness, and thickness of the skin at the burn site after only a few DEKA laser sessions.
The procedure for CO2 DEKA scar laser treatment
1. Initial consultation and evaluation
The specialist physician first examines the type of scar, skin color, and depth of the lesion so that appropriate laser parameters can be set.
2. Skin preparation
The target area is cleaned, and if necessary, a topical anesthetic cream is used.
3. Laser application
DEKA laser beams are applied point-by-point on the skin so that the damaged cells are vaporized and the remodeling process begins.
4. Post-treatment care
After a laser session, the skin may be slightly red or swollen, which typically improves within a few days. The use of healing creams and sunscreen is essential to speed up recovery.
Post-laser care to prevent complications
Avoid washing the treated area with hot water for a few days.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
Use healing and anti-inflammatory creams as prescribed.
If peeling or redness occurs, do not manipulate the skin.
How many sessions are required?
The number of treatment sessions depends on the type and severity of the scar. In most cases, patients see satisfactory results after 3 to 5 sessions. The interval between sessions is usually about 4 to 6 weeks to allow the skin time to regenerate.
Advantages and disadvantages of CO2 DEKA scar laser treatment
Advantages:
Natural and long-lasting results.
No need for hospitalization or surgical operation.
Simultaneous improvement in skin texture and color.
Suitable for all body areas.
Disadvantages:
Temporary redness and inflammation.
Need for repeated sessions in severe cases.
Rare risk of color change in darker skin types.
Cost of CO2 DEKA scar laser treatment
The cost of treatment depends on several factors:
Size and depth of the scar.
The area to be treated (face, body, hands, etc.).
The number of sessions required.
The physician’s expertise and the type of device used.
Overall, CO2 DEKA scar laser is often more cost-effective compared to surgical or injectable methods, while providing more natural and lasting outcomes.
Summary and conclusion
DEKA laser (CO2 DEKA) is one of the best available methods for the treatment and correction of skin scars—whether they are stitch marks, burn scars, or old wounds. This advanced technology stimulates skin remodeling and collagen production, resulting in smoother, softer, and more even skin. If you are looking for a safe, fast, and effective way to improve your scar or burn marks, it is recommended that you consult with Dr. Benyamin Rahmati, a surgeon and specialist in skin, hair and aesthetic treatments, for expert advice and tailored treatment plans.
