What are scars?

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after injury or surgery. They form as a result of the body's natural healing process and are typically visible as a change in skin texture or color. Scars can vary in size, shape, and appearance and can be raised or depressed. They may be a result of cuts, burns, surgery, acne, or other types of skin injuries. Some scars fade over time, while others may be permanent. Treatment options for scars include topical creams, silicone sheets, injections, laser therapy, and surgery.

Here are some ways to reduce the appearance of scars:

  1. Topical treatments 

  2. Over-the-counter lightening agents 

  3. Exfoliating treatments 

  4. Microneedling

  5. Dermal Fillers

  6. Laser therapy 

  7. Cryotherapy

  8. Surgery (for severe scars)

 

It's important to note that not all treatments are effective for all types of scars and some treatments may have side effects. Call our office today for a consultation for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
