Scar Removal Technologies

There are many types of scars, and at INOVO Medical, we have options for treating the array of existing scars. Our two main technologies for scar treatment are Opus Plasma and the Fotona Laser.

Opus Plasma for Scars

Opus Plasma is a revolutionary high-frequency unipolar radiofrequency technology. The first fractional plasma device on the market, it combines radiofrequency with microplasma energy to create tiny channels in the skin, which activates collagen production and rejuvenates the skin.

For scars, the Alma Hybrid is now our best option for people who do not have very dark skin. Opus is very good on very dark skin, with much less downtime than the older CO2 lasers. Because we own both, we use our judgment: what we sell is safety and the best possible treatment.

We Own Three Resurfacing Devices

We do not ask one machine to cover every problem. When a problem needs its own device, we buy it. RF microneedling — needles that carry radiofrequency into the skin — is one category we decided not to offer. We often already owned a device that could do the job. When a better one existed, we bought it anyway. The excel V+ is for blood vessels, the StarWalker for pigment and tattoos, Ultherapy for tightening, truSculpt iD for body fat and truFlex for muscle. Resurfacing is where this matters most, because we own three different ways to do it and they overlap.

The Fotona SP Dynamis Pro in erbium mode works at 2940 nm, a wavelength absorbed almost entirely by water at the surface. It removes a thin, precise layer, which is what fine texture and shallow lines need. The Alma Hybrid combines an ablative CO2 beam at 10,600 nm with a non-ablative 1570 nm beam and goes the deepest: it removes the surface layer and heats collagen underneath in the same treatment. We bought it after two years of comparing resurfacing devices. Opus Plasma uses fractional plasma generated by radiofrequency, applied at the skin surface without inserting needles, so the energy is not aimed at pigment the way light is. That is why it is usually the first option we consider on medium-to-deep skin tones. Lower risk is not zero risk, and we assess your skin before we book anything.

Which one we suggest depends on how deep the problem sits, on your skin tone, and on how much recovery time you can take. Deeper is not automatically better: the deepest option needs the most recovery time and carries the most pigment risk. Because we own all three, there is nothing we need to sell you first.

Laser Treatment for Scar Revisions

Fotona’s laser is ideal for mild scar revision. It safely and effectively penetrates the skin for gentle resurfacing of scarred skin, helping to improve your skin texture and tone.

Fractional skin resurfacing is a type of Fotona laser treatment that targets microscopic areas of the skin. The laser light pulses heat columns of skin without damaging untreated areas. The results are a marked improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and other pigment irregularities.

These cosmetic procedures have very low complication rates and are minimally invasive. They are same-day procedures, meaning that the procedures only take a few hours to be complete, and patients return home the same day. 

Our Approach

Our innovative approach to cosmetic medicine combines a number of medical procedures, many of which are complementary and work synergistically to optimize results and offer the best possible cosmetic outcome.

We view beauty as more than just an outward appearance. It reflects how you feel inside, and in turn affects your confidence, your self-esteem, and your appreciation of life. It also affects your career opportunities, your relationships, and your personal growth.

At INOVO, we offer exceptional medical aesthetic services to improve your skin, and the contours of your face and body, and we treat a variety of skin conditions.
