Restore smoother, clearer skin at Dr. A Clinic — a targeted laser treatment for scars and skin imperfections.
How Do Scar Lasers Work?
Scar laser treatments, like those using the EdgeONE Fractional CO₂ laser, work by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen production and encouraging damaged skin to regenerate with smoother, healthier tissue.
The laser specifically targets the scarred or uneven areas without affecting the surrounding healthy skin. This helps to:
-
Break down thick or raised scar tissue
-
Smooth out uneven texture
-
Fade discolouration
-
Encourage skin tightening and renewal
As your skin heals over the following weeks, the scar gradually becomes flatter, softer, and less visible, with improvements continuing over 2 to 3 months.
Types of Scars Treated with EdgeONE Fractional CO₂ Laser
The EdgeONE Fractional CO₂ laser is effective in treating a wide range of superficial to moderately deep scars, especially acne scars and those on the face, neck, or body. These include:
Trauma Scars
Scars resulting from injuries, accidents, or previous wounds.
Acne Rolling Scars
Broad, shallow depressions with uneven texture.
Ice Pick Scars
Narrow and deep acne scars that’s well treated with combination treatments for optimal results.
Acne Boxcar Scars
Deep, well-defined edges that respond well to fractional CO₂ resurfacing.
Surgical Scars
Post-operative or post-procedure scars that are raised, discoloured, or uneven in texture.
Common Skin Growth Removal with EdgeONE’s Surgical Mode
In addition to scar resurfacing, the EdgeONE CO₂ laser also features a surgical mode, which allows for precise removal of small benign skin growths using controlled laser ablation. This is ideal for patients looking for non-invasive solutionsto common skin concerns, especially in delicate or hard-to-reach areas.
Conditions that can be treated include:
Moles
Moles are small, dark spots or growths on the skin caused by clusters of pigmented cells. They are usually harmless and may appear anywhere on the body. At Dr. A Clinic, we primarily treat benign (non-cancerous) moles, with each case assessed during consultation to ensure suitability.
Warts
Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). They often appear on the hands, feet, or other pressure points. Though usually harmless, warts can spread or become uncomfortable, and laser treatment offers a fast, precise method for removal.
Corns
Corns (鸡眼) are thickened areas of skin that develop due to repeated pressure or friction, often from ill-fitting shoes. They commonly appear on the feet and may feel painful or tender when pressed. Laser removal provides a clean and minimally invasive alternative to surgical shaving or acids.
Oil Seeds
Milia (often called “oil seeds”) are tiny white or yellowish bumps that appear just under the skin, usually around the eyes, cheeks, or forehead. They form when keratin (a skin protein) becomes trapped beneath the surface. Milia are harmless but can be cosmetically bothersome. Laser removal is a safe, precise method without scarring.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are small, soft, flesh-colored growths that hang off the skin. They often appear in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, or under the breasts, and are typically caused by friction, hormones, or genetics. Though harmless, many patients choose to remove them for cosmetic or comfort reasons.
Why Choose EdgeONE Fractional CO₂ Scar Laser at Dr. A Clinic?
The EdgeONE is a Korean-made fractional CO₂ laser that treats both skin texture concerns and minor skin growths using two specialized modes.
🔹 Fractional Mode
This mode creates microscopic heat channels in the skin to trigger natural collagen production and skin renewal. It’s ideal for improving scars (including acne scars), large pores and uneven skin texture.
🔹 Ablative Mode (Surgical)
In this mode, the laser precisely removes small skin growths like skin tags, moles (benign), warts, milia (oil seeds) and corns.
🔹 Also Used in Other Treatments
EdgeONE is also used in selected intimate-area rejuvenation and skin resurfacing protocols, depending on clinical suitability. All treatments are personalised by our doctors to match your skin concerns and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓Is EdgeONE safe for Asian / fair skin tones?
Yes—with proper evaluation and parameter adjustment, EdgeONE fractional CO₂ is used on Asian skin types safely by experienced practitioners. Because fractional lasers treat discontinuously, they reduce risk compared to full ablative lasers. At Dr. A Clinic, our certified doctors always customise the settings (energy, density, depth) to suit your skin.
❓How long is the downtime after treatment?
Most patients experience 5 to 7 days of visible recovery (redness, swelling, crusting) before new skin begins to appear.
Some deeper treatments may push visible healing beyond a week, but major recovery is usually by day 7.
❓What can I expect during and after the procedure?
The session typically lasts around 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and most patients describe the laser sensation as warm or slightly prickly. For certain treatments, a Smoke Evacuator system is used to safely clear any laser plume or vapour during the procedure.
After the treatment, the skin may feel similar to a sunburn, with expected redness, swelling, and some oozing or crusting in the early days. It’s important not to pick at any scabs — allow them to fall off naturally for optimal healing. Our doctors will provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow up with you to monitor your recovery and results.
❓When will I see results for scar laser treatment? How long do they last?
You may begin to see smoother skin texture after a week when skin is fully recovered, while fuller results — including firmer skin and visible scar improvement — typically develop over 2 to 3 months as new collagen continues to remodel. Some studies have shown that results can continue to improve for up to 6 months after treatment. Long-term maintenance with proper sun protection and skincare is important to preserve your results. Our doctors will guide you through the treatment process, set realistic expectations, and personalise your plan based on your skin goals.
❓How many sessions do I need?
For common skin growth concerns such as moles, skin tags, or milia, one session is typically sufficient. However, for deeper acne scars or more extensive skin texture issues, a series of at least 6 sessions is usually recommended, with each session spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s response and desired results. Our doctors will assess your skin and design a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the best possible results.
❓What skin concerns can the EdgeONE CO₂ laser treat besides scars and wrinkles?
The EdgeONE CO₂ laser is a versatile technology that goes beyond just treating scars and skin aging. It can also be used for:
-
Improving stretch marks
-
Smoothing uneven skin texture
-
Removing common skin growths such as skin tags, moles, milia, and warts
-
Supporting intimate-area skin rejuvenation, where medically appropriate
The device features both fractional and surgical ablative modes, allowing it to precisely target both surface-level and deeper skin concerns with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. At Dr. A Clinic, our doctors customise the treatment approach based on your skin type and specific condition to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
❓Who is not suitable for this treatment?
This treatment may not be suitable for individuals with:
-
Active skin infections, acne flare-ups, or open wounds in the treatment area
-
Recent isotretinoin use (within the past 6–12 months)
-
A history of keloid scarring or pigment disorders
-
Very dark skin tones that may be at higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
-
Pregnancy or certain underlying medical conditions
At Dr. A Clinic, all patients are carefully assessed by our certified and experienced doctors to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
