Burn Scars
Fractional COâ‚‚ Laser Treatment for Burn Scars
Fractional COâ‚‚ laser therapy is an advanced, medical laser treatment used to improve the appearance and symptoms of scars from burns. It’s commonly offered in burn centres, plastic surgery departments, and scar management clinics.
​
What This Treatment Is
-
COâ‚‚ lasers deliver a concentrated beam of light that creates tiny micro-thermal zones in scar tissue.
-
This stimulates the body’s natural healing and remodelling processes, encouraging the scar to soften, flatten, and become more flexible.
-
Fractional lasers treat a fraction of the skin surface at a time, leaving untreated areas between the laser spots to support faster healing.

Why choose C02 laser?
Clinical studies and patient outcomes demonstrate that fractional COâ‚‚ laser treatment can:
✔ Improve scar texture and pliability (softness)
✔ Reduce thickness and tightness of hypertrophic scars
✔ Decrease redness and surface irregularity
✔ Reduce symptoms such as itching or pain
✔ Improve range of motion when scars restrict movement
​
Note: Laser therapy does not completely remove scars, but often makes them less noticeable and more comfortable.
Suitability for treatment
-
Adults and children can be considered, depending on scar size and location.
-
Scars from burns that are several months old up to many years old can respond to treatment.
-
A clinical evaluation is needed to check suitability and set expectations.
