Any damage to the skin can result in scar tissue. Larger lacerations or incisions may leave noticeable scars that can be unattractive or disfiguring.
Scar Correction Surgery
While it is impossible to completely remove a scar, it can be reduced or moved to hide its appearance. Some scars can be minimized with non-surgical treatments – laser skin therapy can fade dark scars to make them less visible. For hypertrophic or atrophic scars that disfigure the skin, scar revision surgery may be needed to improve the skin appearance. Specialized treatments can be used to reduce scarring from the revision surgery, including using silicone sheets and medications.
Scars from surgery, burns, lacerations or other types of traumas can change your appearance. If you have a scar that is impacting natural movement or disfiguring your skin, scar revision surgery or scar removal treatments may be the solution.
