Body Scarring: Causes, Types & Advanced Non-Surgical Treatments at AE.R Skinlab

Scars can be a physical reminder of past injuries, surgeries, acne, or stretch marks. While they are a natural part of the skin's healing process, body scarring can impact your confidence and comfort—especially when it affects visible or sensitive areas. At AE.R Skinlab, we specialize in non-surgical scar revision, using innovative technology like the Fotona laser to restore smoother, more even skin.

🔍 What Are Body Scars?

Scars form when the deep layers of the skin (the dermis) are damaged. As the body repairs itself, it produces collagen fibers to close the wound—often resulting in skin that looks and feels different from the surrounding area. Scars can vary in color, texture, size, and thickness depending on the cause and your unique skin type.

📍 Common Causes of Body Scarring

• Acne or cystic breakouts

• Surgical incisions

• Injuries and burns

• Skin infections

• Stretch marks from pregnancy or rapid weight gain/loss

• Piercings, tattoos, or cosmetic procedures

📌 Types of Body Scars We Treat

• Hypertrophic Scars – Thick, raised scars within the boundary of the original injury.

• Keloid Scars – Firm, raised scars that grow beyond the original wound site.

• Atrophic Scars – Indented or pitted scars (common with acne).

• Stretch Marks (Striae) – Linear streaks from rapid skin stretching.

• Post-Surgical Scars – Linear or textured scars after surgery or medical procedures.

• Pigmented Scars – Scars that appear darker or redder than the surrounding skin.

⭐ Non-Surgical Scar Treatments at AE.R Skinlab

We offer safe, effective, and personalized treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars on the body without surgery or significant downtime.

✅ Fotona Laser Scar Revision

The Fotona laser system uses advanced dual-wavelength technology (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) to treat scars at both the surface and deeper levels of the skin. It stimulates collagen remodeling while improving tone, texture, and pigmentation.

Fotona is ideal for:

• Stretch marks on the stomach, thighs, arms, and hips

• Post-acne scarring on the back, shoulders, or chest

• Surgical and injury-related scars

• Textural and pigmented scars

Benefits of Fotona Scar Treatments:

• Smooths and resurfaces scar tissue

• Evens out skin tone and texture

• Stimulates natural collagen production

• Safe for most skin types

• Minimal discomfort and downtime

✅ Chemical Peels for Body Scars

Customized medical-grade chemical peels can help fade mild surface-level scars, post-acne pigmentation, and uneven tone on the body. Peels gently exfoliate damaged skin and promote cell turnover for a smoother finish.

Ideal for:

• Acne scarring on the chest or back

• Pigmented scars or sun-damaged skin

• Improving skin texture and brightness

✅ Topical Skincare Support

We also offer medical-grade skincare to support in-clinic results. Products may include retinol-based creams, brightening serums, silicone-based scar gels, and collagen-boosting formulas to reduce inflammation and support ongoing healing.

🔄 Combination Therapy

Many body scars benefit most from a combination approach, such as Fotona laser + chemical peels + post-care skincare. Our team will assess your skin and create a custom treatment plan based on the type, location, and age of your scars.
