Scar Revision Services

Surgical Scar Revision:
Surgical scar revision involves removing the existing scar tissue and carefully closing the incision to create a finer and more cosmetically pleasing scar.
Laser Scar Revision:
Laser scar revision utilizes laser technology to resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of scars, improving texture, and promoting collagen production for smoother skin.
Dermabrasion:
Dermabrasion involves removing the outer layer of skin to minimize scar appearance. It is particularly effective for scars with irregular surfaces.
Topical Treatments:
Topical treatments, such as silicone sheets or gels, may be recommended to manage scar texture and color. These can be used as standalone treatments or in combination with other methods.
Injectable Treatments:
Injectable treatments, including corticosteroids or fillers, may be used to address certain types of scars, such as keloids or hypertrophic scars, by reducing inflammation or adding volume.

How soon after injury or surgery can scar revision be performed?

Scar revision is typically performed once the scar has fully matured, which may take several months. However, early intervention with certain techniques may be considered.

Can scar revision completely remove a scar?

Scar revision aims to improve the appearance of a scar, but complete removal is not always possible. The goal is to make the scar less noticeable and more cosmetically pleasing.

Is scar revision painful?

Discomfort is typically minimal and managed with pain medications as needed. Minimally invasive options may have shorter recovery times and less discomfort.

How long does it take to see results after scar revision?

Results vary depending on the chosen technique and the patient's healing process. Initial improvements may be visible within weeks to months, with continued refinement over time.

Can scar revision be performed on any type of scar?

Scar revision is suitable for various types of scars, including surgical scars, traumatic scars, keloids, and hypertrophic scars. The most appropriate technique depends on the specific characteristics of the scar.
