SCARS AFTER ACNE
The Most Effective Treatments for Acne Scars at DermoCosmetic
DermoCosmetic is a cosmetic dermatology clinic and one of the few clinics in Denmark that offers customized treatments tailored to your specific type of acne scars. You will be treated using the most effective methods by both dermatologists and specialized nurses.
What Results Can You Expect?'
You can expect the best results in Denmark. We treat you with the highest quality using our extensive range of laser equipment specifically designed for acne scars. We also utilize the most advanced medical and surgical methods available at an international level.
Most cosmetic dermatology clinics can only offer acne scar treatments using a single type of laser or superficial peels. This does not always provide the best results. At DermoCosmetic, we have multiple types of lasers.
We are experts in treating all forms of acne scars, including the most severe and complex types that cannot be treated with laser alone. We save you from expensive and ineffective treatments. If we cannot reduce your scars, no one can!
Before Treatment
Initially, you will meet with one of our dermatologists, who will identify your type of acne scars and design a precise treatment plan to ensure smooth and beautiful skin.
You will receive a thorough explanation of your entire treatment process from A to Z, with ample time to have all your questions answered, so you feel safe and ready to begin your treatments.
Treatment Process
At DermoCosmetic, there are two types of acne scar treatment plans: one for mild to moderate acne scars and another for severe acne scars.
If you have mild, superficial to moderate acne scars without deep indentations, we always treat them with laser. We use a variety of lasers, each working at different layers of the skin. Your treatment will be carried out by both highly trained nurses and dermatologists.
Six months after your final treatment, you will have a follow-up appointment with one of our dermatologists.
If you have severe acne scars, your treatment will initially be performed by a dermatologist without using a laser. This is because it is essential to first repair deep indentations or uneven areas, as this reduces the number of laser treatments needed afterward.
We use the most advanced medical and surgical methods to treat severe scars:Once the initial treatment is completed, you will be ready for laser treatment, performed by both dermatologists and highly trained nurses. We use a combination of lasers that work at different depths of the skin, including:
-
Subcision (surgical release of the skin) and fillers – if you have rolling scars
-
TCA Cross – if you have icepick scars or box scars
-
Corticosteroid injections – if you have thickened or keloid scars
-
ICON Fractional Laser Er: Glass 1540 nm – from the American company Cynosure
Six months after your final treatment, you will have a follow-up appointment with one of our dermatologists.

SCARS AFTER TATTOO REMOVAL
Scars After Tattooing and Tattoo Removal Can Be Reduced
After having a tattoo removed, you are often left with scars on your skin. The scar may have occurred during the tattooing process or when your tattoo was removed using subpar laser equipment. At DermoCosmetic, we can help you reduce the appearance of these scars. As a dermatology clinic, we guarantee safety and comfort in your treatment.
What Results Can You Expect?
You can expect a significant reduction in your scars after a tattoo or tattoo removal. We use the latest, most modern, and highest quality Pico laser on the market: Discovery Pico by Quanta. If you have thick, raised scars (keloid scars), we use injections with Kenalog (corticosteroid) to reduce the scar tissue and make the skin appear more even and smooth.
The treatment is the fastest and least painful way to reduce your scars. From the start of your first treatment, the Pico laser begins repairing the scars and removing damaged skin cells with its microscopic laser beams. This stimulates your body’s natural healing process, replacing the damaged skin cells with new, healthy skin cells. The result is a significant reduction in the appearance of the scars.
Treatment for scars after tattooing / tattoo removal is available at our clinics in Copenhagen, Skodsborg, and Aalborg.
SCARS FROM BURNS AND SURGERIES ARE TREATED EFFECTIVELY.
Effective laser treatment for scars from burns and surgeries with minimal intervention to the skin surface.
At DermoCosmetic cosmetic dermatology clinic, you will be treated with the most effective methods by specially trained nurses. We use only high-quality laser equipment, and we are specialists in the treatment of scars from surgery and burns.
What results can you expect?
You can expect the best results in Denmark. We treat you with the highest quality in our wide range of laser equipment, specially designed for scars from surgeries and burns.
Most clinics can only offer scar treatment with one type of laser or superficial peels. This doesn’t always give you the best result. We save you from costly and ineffective treatments. If we can’t reduce your scars, no one can!
From the start of your first treatment, the repair of the damage begins, and the body activates a rejuvenation process where new, fresh skin is formed. The skin’s cells are "restarted" to produce new connective tissue. The effect is cellular renewal, a significant collagen improvement, and ultimately, a significant reduction of the scars.
It is important that scar treatment after surgery begins as early as possible, and studies have shown that even treating scars with laser before the surgery itself prevents and creates better healing after surgery. In other words, you can’t start laser treatment on your scars too early.
Before Treatment
During the consultation, we identify the severity of your scars and plan a treatment course that ensures you achieve the best possible result. Before deciding to begin treatment for your scars, it is important to know that scars from burns or surgeries can be reduced, but they can never be completely removed. Book a free consultation here.
You will be thoroughly informed about the entire treatment process from A to Z, and ample time will be set aside for you to ask any questions, so you can feel comfortable and ready to begin treatment. Treatments can start without hesitation, meaning the same day.
Treatment Course
We offer treatment with well-documented and high-quality fractional lasers: Fractional laser 1540nm and/or fractional Pico laser. These laser types are non-ablative: The surface of your skin remains intact, and you avoid open wounds. About 4 weeks should pass between treatments. In severe cases of scarring, Co2 laser may be considered.

Results You Can Expect
At DermoCosmetic, we offer the most effective treatment method: Fractionated Pico laser. Stretch marks can never be completely removed, but with the Pico laser, they can be reduced by up to 80%.
Pico laser is the most modern method for reducing stretch marks. The treatment is the fastest and least painful method. Another advantage of Pico laser treatment for stretch marks is that it leaves your skin's surface intact, meaning you avoid any wounds during or after the treatment.
From the start of your first treatment, the Pico laser works by removing the damaged skin cells with its microscopic laser beams. The natural healing process is stimulated, and the damaged skin cells are replaced with new, healthy skin cells. The result is a significant reduction in your stretch marks.
Before Treatment
You will attend a free consultation where you will be thoroughly informed about your entire treatment process from A to Z. Ample time is set aside for you to ask any questions, so you can feel safe and ready to begin the treatments. Book your free consultation here.
A specialized nurse will assess your stretch marks, and together you will align expectations for the treatment result. Your treatment plan will be scheduled, and the first treatments will be planned.
Treatment Process
You will be treated with a minimum of 4 weeks between each laser treatment. On average, you can expect 4-6 treatments.
The number of treatments depends on several factors:
-
The extent of the stretch marks (small or large areas)
-
The severity (new or old stretch marks, depth)
-
Your skin’s ability to regenerate new skin cells
-
Your expectations for the result (when you think the stretch marks have been reduced enough)
Treatment for stretch marks is offered at our clinics in Copenhagen and Skodsborg.

TCA CROSS
Ar der egner sig til TCA cross behandling er f.eks. dybe akne ar eller ar og huller i huden efter piercing. Akne ar af typen ”icepick scars” (issyl akne ar) er særligt velegnede til at behandle med TCA cross metoden.
TCA cross er en særdeles effektiv metode til at behandle dybe ar i huden, som ellers er svære at behandle med andre metoder.
TCA cross anvendes lokalt på mindre områder af huden og kan komineres med andre behandlingsmetoder såsom subcision eller dermapen. Efterfølgende, når disse dybe ar har ”hævet sig” til niveau med de mindre dybe omkringliggende ar, kan en behandling med laser være velegnet.
Du kan blive behandlet samme dag, som du bliver konsulteret.
Hvad er effekten af TCA cross behandling?
TCA cross virker ved en lokal ætsning i et velafgrænset område af huden. Bindevævsceller (fibroblaster) i underhuden stimuleres til at producere nyt bindevæv, der får arrets bund til at hæve sig og arret til at udjævne sig. På den vis reorganiseres arvævet og der skal en øgning af bindevæv, en volumenvækst, øget elasticitet og kollagendannelse i huden.
Allerede efter få uger kan det første resultatet ses. Du skal forvente at skulle have gentaget behandlingen efter 2-4 uger. For at nå det endelige resultat skal behandlingen udføres i alt op til 3-4 gange for at arrene har ”hævet sig” til den omkringliggende huds niveau.
Effekten er særdeles overbevisende. I mange tilfælde kan ar udglattes helt efter få behandlinger. Dokumentation fra videnskabelige undersøgelser viser, at der sker en 70-100% reduktion af ar behandlet med TCA cross metoden.
SUBCISION
Subcision er et enkelt og mindre kirurgisk indgreb, hvor fordybede ar (f.eks. ar efter svær akne) kan behandles. Dybe ar er er ofte forankrede i underhuden med tråde af ar, som kun kan løsnes kirurgisk.
Fordybede ar af typen ”rolling scars” kan kun løsnes kirurgisk, da de er forankrede i underhuden med tråde af ar. Har du fordybede ar i huden efter svær akne, vil behandling med laser ikke være tilstrækkelig til at hæve huden til niveau med den omkringliggende hud. En professionel kosmetisk hudlægeklinik tilbyder i stedet behandling med subcision.
Subcision består af et enkelt og mindre kirurgisk indgreb, der er særdeles velegnet til netop behandling af fordybede ar i huden, opstået som følge af svære tilfælde af akne. Det kirurgiske indgreb resulterer i en langtidsvirkende udglatning af den dybt arrede hud.
De fleste har en kombination af forskellige ar, Derfor vil det ofte være nødvendigt med forskellige typer ar behandling for at opnå det optimale resultat. Subcision kan med fordel kombineres med TCA cross, Dermapen / dermaroller (microneedling) og efterfølgende med laserbehandlinger.
Hvordan foregår subcision?
Forud for selve det kirurgiske indgreb desinficeres og lokalbedøves de dybe ar.
Dernæst løsnes de dybe ar tråde under arret med en særlig nål med et skarpt blad på siden. Arrets bund og arret udglattes. Huden komprimeres og nedkøles med ispose for at lukke eventuelle blødende, små blodkar. Herefter påføres huden en bakteriedræbende salve.
Hvad er effekten af subcision af dybe ar?
Resultatet er ofte meget tilfredsstillende og effekten af behandlingen er vedvarende – modsat mange andre behandlingsmetoder med indsprøjtning af f.eks. filler.
Kvalitet og sikkerhed i behandling af dybe ar med subcision metoden
Ved alle kirurgiske indgreb er der risiko for blødning og infektion. Behandlingen foregår dog helt overfladisk i huden uden risiko for skade på dybe blodkar eller nerver.
Man kan dog ikke undgå mindre blødninger under og efter behandlingen, idet de øverste lag af huden forsynes med små blodkar. Mindre hævelser samt misfarvning skal forventes i det behandlede område. Dette forsvinder i løbet af 1 uge til 10 dage.
Sjældne tilfælde af mindre blodansamling kan behandles med binyrebarkhormon.
