About Scars

Scar treatment by a dermatologist involves a range of advanced medical procedures designed to improve the appearance, texture, and function of scars resulting from surgery, injury, burns, or acne. These treatments are tailored to the specific type of scar, such as hypertrophic, keloid, atrophic, or contracture scars, and aim to minimize their visibility and discomfort. Common dermatological interventions include laser therapy (like fractional CO2 or pulsed-dye lasers), steroid injections, microneedling with radiofrequency, surgical scar revision, and specialized topical treatments like silicone gels. The goal is to promote healthier skin regeneration, flatten raised scars, fill depressed areas, and reduce redness or discoloration, ultimately restoring skin confidence and improving quality of life. A dermatologist will assess the scar's characteristics to recommend the most effective, personalized treatment plan.
