Richmond, VA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/08/2015 -- The decision to undergo scar removal is an empowering one. Scar revision can help individuals regain confidence in their appearance and move on from past trauma. However, scar removal also has a reputation for being a lengthy, painful process. At Center for Scars, the leading facility for laser surgery for scars in Richmond, VA, scar removal can be performed in fewer sessions and with less discomfort when patients choose PicoSure laser scar removal.

PicoSure is a revolutionary laser technology that expedites the scar revision process, as well as minimizes the discomfort involved in scar removal. This laser is one billion times faster than any other laser scar removal technology currently available.

The laser also penetrates deeper into the damaged collagen that forms scars than any other laser: whereas other lasers are capable of penetrating only one millimeter beneath the scar's surface, the PicoSure penetrates up to four millimeters deep. The depth of penetration allows for more complete collagen remodeling. The process is much faster than conventional laser scar removal: only three to five sessions are required, and sessions usually take five to fifteen minutes. Patients typically report minimal discomfort during their sessions.

The PicoSure laser can also be used to remove tattoos. Just as it is the most advanced technology for scar removal, it is also the most advanced technology for tattoo removal. Center for Scars is the only facility in Richmond, VA, to have this technology
