Scar Treatment in Berlin-Zehlendorf:
Modern Therapies with Dr. med. Meike Schröder
At her practice in Berlin-Zehlendorf, Dr. Meike Schröder offers customized scar treatments at the highest dermatological level. The goal is to sustainably improve the appearance, structure, and elasticity of the skin. Her years of experience ensure an optimal therapy that is gentle, effective, and scientifically sound.
Which Types of Scars Can Be Treated?
- Acne scars
- Accidental scars, self-harm scars
- Sunken, whitish scars
- Deeply depressed defect scars
- Raised red scars
- Stretch marks (striae)
- Hypertrophic scars and keloids
Every scar is unique. Therefore, every therapy is preceded by a detailed dermatological analysis that considers depth, extent, and skin type.
Modern Methods of Scar Treatment
eCO2 Laser Therapy
Targeted energy pulses stimulate the formation of new collagen. The eCO2 laser is particularly suitable for deep acne scars, surgical scars, striae, raised red scars, self-harm scars, and uneven skin textures.
Scar Treatment via Fractionated eCO2 Laser in Berlin-Zehlendorf
Thanks to the patented technology of the eCO2 system (Alma Lasers), high-energy light pulses in the 10,600 nm range are generated and strongly absorbed by the water in the skin. The laser energy is delivered into the skin in microscopic columns (Microthermal Treatment Zones, MTZ), while the surrounding tissue remains largely unaffected. After a few days, the treated points form fine crusts that are gradually shed, usually within a week. The skin’s renewal process begins.
How the eCO2 Laser Works
Targeted Tissue Ablation: The uppermost layer of the skin (epidermis) is vaporized in a controlled manner, removing old, pathologically altered scar structures.
Thermal Effect: Surrounding dermal layers are heated, creating a thermal remodeling stimulus.
Stimulated Healing Process: Controlled micro-injuries trigger an inflammatory repair response:
- Activation of fibroblasts
- Formation of new collagen and elastic fibers
- Increased production of hyaluronic acid and other matrix components
Effect on Different Scar Types
Atrophic Scars (e.g., Acne Scars)
- Depressed scars are lifted
- The skin surface becomes more even and smooth
- Pore size can be reduced
Mechanism: Collagen fiber remodeling leads to plumping and a newly structured skin matrix.
Hypertrophic, Red Scars
- Reduction of scar bulk and redness
- Improvement in elasticity
Mechanism: Thermal remodeling can reduce excessive collagen deposition; however, multiple sessions and potential combinations with other therapies (e.g., corticoid injections, silicone therapy) are often necessary.
General Structural Effects
- Improvement in pigmentation (mitigation of hyper- or hypopigmentation)
- Refined skin texture
- Reduced redness
Healing Phases Following Treatment
Acute Phase (1–3 days):
- Redness, weeping
- Slight scabbing
- Minimal edema effect
Proliferation Phase (1–4 weeks):
- Formation of new collagen
- Development of a new skin matrix
Remodeling Phase (1–6 months):
- Gradual improvement of scar structure
- Further smoothing, and stabilization
Treatment of Acne Scars with the CO2 Laser
Microneedling with the Dermapen or Dermaroller
Ultra-fine micro-channels stimulate the natural regeneration of the skin. The procedure improves surface texture, elasticity, and evenness—ideal for flat scars and striae.
Radiofrequency Microneedling (Potenza™)
Potenza™ is a high-tech radiofrequency microneedling system that targets deep skin renewal, specifically for the treatment of scars (primarily acne, surgical, or atrophic scars). Since scar tissue is often irregular, hardened, or sunken, Potenza™ works on multiple levels:
- Loosening fibrotic scar tissue
- Thickening and reorganization of the dermis
- Evening out the skin surface
- Improving skin elasticity
- Reducing the depth and sharpness of scar edges
This method is particularly effective for:
Visible Effects
Typically, after several sessions, the following are observed:
- Smoother, more even skin
- Softer scar structure
- Reduced scar depth
- Improved skin quality across the entire area
Results build progressively over weeks as collagen synthesis requires time.
Treatment and Regeneration
- Usually 3–4 sessions at intervals of 4–6 weeks
- Short recovery time (redness/swelling for 1–3 days)
- Enhanced effects and significantly reduced downtime when combined with PRP, exosomes, or polynucleotides.
Classification (Honest and Important)
Potenza does not remove scars completely, but it can significantly improve them—especially in terms of texture, depth, and the transition to healthy skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ultra-fine micro-channels stimulate the natural regeneration of the skin. The procedure improves surface texture, elasticity, and evenness—ideal for flat scars and striae.
How many sessions are necessary?
This depends on the type and depth of the scar. Generally, several sessions are recommended to achieve optimal results step-by-step.
Is the treatment painful?
Thanks to modern technology and local anesthesia, the procedures are well-tolerated.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements are often visible after a few weeks; the formation of new collagen develops over several months.
