Why Do Scars Become More Noticeable with Age?


As we age, it’s common to notice that scars from past injuries or acne become more prominent. This change is largely due to the natural thinning of the skin over time. Fortunately, advancements in dermatological treatments, such as the Neo Elite laser, offer effective solutions to rejuvenate aging skin, stimulate thickening of the skin and minimize the appearance of old scars.


As we grow older, our skin undergoes several changes that can make existing scars more visible:


  • Thinning Skin: The dermis, which provides strength and elasticity to the skin, becomes thinner due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. This thinning makes scars more apparent. 


  • Loss of Elasticity: Reduced elasticity means the skin doesn’t bounce back as easily, causing scars to appear more pronounced.


  • Changes in Pigmentation: Aging skin may experience uneven pigmentation, making scars stand out more against the surrounding skin.


These factors contribute to the increased visibility of scars as we age.


Preventing and Treating Scars in Aging Skin

Prevention Tips

While it’s not always possible to prevent scars entirely, certain measures can minimize their development and prominence as the skin ages


  • Sun Protection: Ultraviolet (UV) exposure can worsen the appearance of scars. Using sunscreen and protective clothing helps prevent further skin damage.
  • Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in Protein and supplements that support healthy skin  like vitamins C and E, regular exercise, and adequate hydration support skin health and resilience.
  • Good collage supplement  that helps the skin maintain is collagen stores

Treatment Options

For existing scars, especially those that have become more noticeable with age, various treatments are available:

Microneedling using Growth factors or Exosomes  to stimulate skin remodeling: This procedure stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility.


Laser Therapy:  Advanced laser treatments, like the Neo Elite, that stimulate skin thickening, offer targeted solutions for scar reduction.


Neo Elite Laser: Stimulating Skin Remodeling at the Cellular Level



The Neo Elite laser by Aerolase  is a cutting-edge technology designed to rejuvenate aging skin, stimulate thickening of the skin and reduce the appearance of scars. It operates using a 650-microsecond pulse duration, delivering energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production without damaging the surface.

Benefits of Neo Elite Laser Treatment

  • Non-Invasive: The procedure is pain-free, requires no needles, and has no downtime, making it convenient for patients.


  • Safe for All Skin Types: Neo Elite is effective across all Fitzpatrick skin types, ensuring broad applicability.


  • Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation: Beyond scar treatment, it addresses issues like loose skin, wrinkles, rosacea, redness, spiderveins, hyper-pigmentation, and overall skin texture. (see results photos)

By promoting collagen remodeling at the cellular level, Neo Elite helps restore the skin’s youthful appearance and reduces the prominence of old scars.


Conclusion


The increased visibility of scars with age is a natural consequence of skin thinning and reduced elasticity. However, with preventive care and advanced treatments like the Neo Elite laser, it’s possible to minimize their appearance and rejuvenate aging skin. Consulting with a expert on noninvasive skin rejuvenation can help determine the most appropriate approach for your skin’s needs.

Dee Dee was recommended by a friend and I got laser and CO2 treatments on a wound on my foot. She is extremely knowledgeable and very nice. She explained everything very thoroughly and the treatments were quick and painless. I’ve already seen an amazing improvement. I will be back for additional treatments including some dark places on my legs. I cannot recommend her services more highly!
