UrgoTouch laser is a portable laser designed for the preventive treatment of scars in the operating room, in a simple, safe, and painless procedure.
By acting early on the deepest layer of the skin, tissue reconstruction is optimized, resulting in less visible scars.
Other types of non-surgical scars, such as those caused by acne or chickenpox, can be treated through skin biostimulation with PRX-T33.
Can UrgoTouch laser eliminate postoperative scars?
The scar is an integral part of the healing process after surgery; it always leaves a trace that cannot disappear completely. 92% of patients would like to erase the scar or have a less visible mark on the skin.
Despite the surgeon’s expertise, healing is unpredictable and varies from one person to another. UrgoTouch helps optimize the appearance of the scar from the moment of suturing.
This is a significant advance in aesthetic surgery, especially in breast surgery (breast implants, breast reduction in Barcelona, mamoplasty) and body surgery (abdominoplasty – abdominoplasty in Barcelona –, arm and thigh lifts, breast lift in Barcelona), procedures that result in visible scars.
How does UrgoTouch laser help reduce scars?
- Skin treatment during surgery
The UrgoTouch portable laser technology is the result of ten years of research in collaboration with laser experts, aesthetic surgeons, and dermatologists.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia at the end of the surgery. UrgoTouch is completely painless. - By diffusing into the skin, the heat generated by the laser pulse modulates the inflammatory response and promotes the organization of the collagen fiber network, improving the final scar outcome.
- Scar care after surgery
During the following two or three days, there is slight edema and erythema for about five days.
To avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, exposure of the scar to light should be avoided as much as possible, and it is recommended to use high or maximum SPF sunscreens (> 50) until the scar tissue matures, as well as to keep the area well hydrated.
Results of UrgoTouch laser treatment
UrgoTouch has developed a clinical study that has demonstrated its effectiveness.
An average improvement of 36% in scar volume has been observed. Five parameters were taken into account: vascularization, pigmentation, thickness, relief, and scar surface.
