Understanding Circumcision Scarring
Circumcision done for medical, cultural or personal reasons can leave behind scars that vary in size and visibility. While many feel comfortable with the resulting scars, others find it unsightly, uncomfortable or can be a cause of self-consciousness. Scarring can be more pronounced depending on how the circumcision was performed, your healing process and how well the tissue responded after the surgery.
With the increase in modern technology, those looking to reduce the appearance of circumcision scars have access to quick and non-invasive options. At Eve Clinics our use of CO2 lasers enables us to treat circumcision scars safely and effectively.
The CO2 Laser: How It Works for Scar Removal
The CO2 laser iso one of the most advanced technologies available for the reduction in scar tissue. It works by emitting a targeted beam of light that removes layers of scar tissue in a controlled and precise way, unlike traditional surgery, the surrounding healthy tissue is not affected.
The process involves:
- Resurfacing the Skin: The laser will gently remove the outer layers of the scar, helping to smooth out any uneven texture.
- Stimulating Collagen Production: As the laser penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, it naturally promotes the production of collagen, a key protein in the body responsible for growing health skin.
- Encouraging Skin Regeneration: The treated area will begin to heal naturally with new skin cells replacing the damaged tissue, the results will be a smoother appearance over time.
If the scar is hypertrophic, our protocol may involve small injection of cortisone as well, to reduce the inflammation of the scar tissue and flatten down the scar.
If the scar is pigmented, mesotherapy with melanin inhibitors can be very successful.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Our circumcision scar removal procedure being with an initial consultation to discuss the procedure, your concerns and your desired results, during this consultation our specialist will give you an idea of what can be reasonably be expected from the treatment and answer any questions you may have.
The Procedure:
- Preparation: Before the procedure begins, a topical anesthetic is applied to the area to minimise any discomfort. The CO2 laser will then be carefully calibrated to ensure the treatment is both safe and effective for your exact scar.
- Laser Application: The CO2 laser is applied directly to the scars, you may feel a slight tingling or warming feeling as the laser removed the scar tissue. The treatment usually takes between 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the scar.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, mild redness or swelling similar to sunburn may be experienced, this is a natural part of the healing process and nothing to be concerned about and will subside within a few days. You will be given specific aftercare instructions to help the healing process and protect the area.
