Scar Treatment

What is Scar Treatment?

Scars form as the body's natural healing response to skin injury. Modern scar treatments dramatically reduce visibility through various approaches—targeting texture, color, and elevation to blend scars with surrounding skin for significant, permanent improvement.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Multiple treatments are often needed for optimal scar improvement. Plan a series of sessions for best results—single treatments rarely produce dramatic change.

⚠️ Insider Note: Realistic expectations are important—scars can be significantly improved (50-80%) but rarely completely erased. Progress is gradual as collagen remodels over months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can scars be completely removed?

Scars can be greatly improved—typically 50-80% reduction in visibility—but rarely completely erased. Significant, noticeable improvement is achievable with the right treatment approach.

How many treatments do I need?

Depends on scar type and severity. Typically 3-6 sessions for laser treatments, spaced 4-8 weeks apart. Deep or extensive scars may need more sessions.

Which treatment is best for my scar?

Depends on scar type: hypertrophic/raised scars respond to laser and steroid injections; atrophic/depressed scars (like acne scars) respond to microneedling, subcision, and resurfacing. Consultation determines the best approach.

How old should a scar be before treatment?

Wait at least 12 months for new scars to fully mature. Earlier treatment may be counterproductive as scars continue changing during the maturation process.

Do treatments hurt?

Mild to moderate discomfort managed with topical or local anesthesia depending on treatment type. Laser treatments typically require numbing cream; surgical revision uses local anesthetic.

Will my scar come back after treatment?

Treated scars don't return—improvement is permanent. However, keloid-prone individuals may form new keloids from new injuries. The treated area itself remains improved.

Can all skin types be treated?

Yes, but some treatments need adjustment for darker skin types to prevent pigmentation changes. Fractional lasers with conservative settings are safer for darker skin.

What about acne scars specifically?

Excellent results with fractional laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, and subcision techniques. Multiple treatment types are often combined for comprehensive improvement of different acne scar types.
