Scar revision treatment can help improve the appearance of scars from surgeries, injuries, or acne. There are a variety of techniques to choose from depending on your scar’s type and severity, and we can customize each option for your needs.
Surgical Scar Revision
For deep or prominent scars, surgical revision might be a good option. A surgeon removes the scar tissue and uses advanced techniques to close the incision more discreetly. Healing times vary, but you’ll receive detailed care instructions to support the healing process.
Laser Scar Treatment
Laser treatments are highly effective for scars that are discolored or rough in texture. Using focused light beams, this technique removes or reduces the outer layers of the skin, promoting new, healthy skin growth. Laser scar treatment can decrease the visibility of scars without significant downtime, making it a popular choice for those who cannot take extended time off.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion involves carefully removing the top layers of skin with a rotating device. It’s particularly effective for surface scars from acne or chickenpox. This procedure can smooth out the skin surface, allowing new skin to grow in place of the scarred tissue. While dermabrasion is effective, it requires some recovery time during which the skin heals and regenerates.
Filler Injections
Filler injections are an effective treatment for atrophic scars, which leave depressions in the skin. These fillers raise the depressed areas to the level of the surrounding skin, making the scars much less noticeable. The results are immediate, though maintenance treatments may be necessary, as fillers typically dissolve over time.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution that causes the old, scarred skin to peel off, revealing healthier, less damaged skin beneath. This treatment is especially beneficial for those with superficial scars. The strength of the peel can be adjusted to suit the severity of the scar and the desired downtime.
Microneedling
Microneedling works by creating tiny punctures in the skin, which stimulates skin repair and the production of collagen. This procedure reduces the appearance of scars and improves skin texture and firmness. Microneedling sessions are typically spaced a few weeks apart to allow the skin to heal optimally.
