Types of Scars We Treat

Understanding the type of scar you have is key to selecting the right treatment. Here are the most common types:

• Acne Scars: Deep pits, box-shaped, or wavelike scars caused by severe acne.
• Stretch Marks: Scars that form when skin stretches rapidly, commonly during pregnancy or puberty.
• Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, thick, red scars that form from injuries, burns, or surgery.
• Contracture Scars: Form when a large area of skin is lost or damaged, often from burns, restricting movement.
• Keloid Scars: Overgrown, raised scars that extend beyond the original injury.

Scar Treatment Options

We offer several effective scar treatments to help minimize the appearance of scars and boost your skin’s overall texture.

1. Topical Scar Ointments

These ointments contain ingredients that help restore your skin’s texture and promote healing. They target scar tissue to reduce its appearance and encourage skin regeneration.

2. Microneedling

Microneedling uses a derma roller or pen to create micro-trauma to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This process helps smooth the texture of scars and promotes skin renewal.

3. Laser Treatments

Laser therapies use focused light to remove the outer layer of the skin, promote new skin cell growth, and reduce the appearance of scars. Laser treatments can flatten raised scars and even out skin tone.

4. Scar Revision Surgery

This procedure is designed to reduce the visibility of scars through surgical techniques. While it won’t completely eliminate a scar, it can significantly improve its appearance.

5. Scar Camouflage Tattoos

One of the most effective long-term solutions is a scar camouflage tattoo. This non-invasive procedure uses skin-toned pigments to blend your scar into the surrounding skin. The technique is highly specialized and requires a trained professional to ensure the best results.
