UrgoTouch is a laser designed for preventive scar treatment directly in the operating room, with a single application, sure and painless. By acting early, we optimize tissue reconstruction to obtain less visible scars.
Although scarring is an integral part of the healing process after surgery, it always leaves a scar that does not completely disappear. His surgeon, trained and qualified For these types of operations, you will use your best skills and the best technology you have available to help you improve your scar, but it will not prevent your scar from being invisible due to the randomness in the healing process.
At Clínica Weigand we now have a technological option that acts reducing associated inflammation to the healing process, improving the organization of collagen synthesis just after suturing, when the healing process begins. Performed right after surgery, when the patient is still under anesthesia, this treatment is completely painless. The effectiveness of this treatment has been clinically demonstrated.
The operation of the laser is fully automated and, with a safety system, the temperature that the system reaches is controlled. The treatment only needs one session.
The only risk of the operation is that the laser acts by locally raising the skin temperature, but there are safety devices that prevent this. Possible effects after treatment due to laser:
- Edema, related to vasodilation induced by the thermal effect of the laser. This phenomenon resolves spontaneously in 2-3 days.
- Erythema, related to the vasodilation of the vessels induced by the thermal effect of the laser. This phenomenon also resolves spontaneously in less than 5 days.
- Transient post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, often due to sun exposure after treatment, which can be spontaneous in dark phototypes. Resolution usually occurs within a few weeks. Sun protection is essential and you can use depigmenting creams if necessary.
The effectiveness of this treatment has been clinically proven with a clinical study in which an average reduction in scar volume of 36% was demonstrated.
