Laser Scar Removal at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Laser scar treatment improves the appearance of scars — softening raised tissue, fading redness or discoloration, and smoothing texture — so they blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. Different lasers target different scar features, and Natural Results matches the right approach to your scar under the oversight of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®).
Vascular lasers fade the redness of newer scars; resurfacing lasers smooth raised or textured scars and improve flexibility. The plan depends on the scar's age, color, and texture.
For scars specifically from surgery, see scar treatment after plastic surgery; for acne scarring, see acne scar treatment.
A series of sessions usually gives the best result, with the scar gradually improving in color and texture. Treating scars earlier, once healed, often yields the best response.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.
