Modern advances in medicine have allowed for treatments of scar tissue.  Not all types of scars can be treated; however keloid scarring, hypertrophic scarring, and atrophic scarring can be treated effectively.

• keloid scarring: abnormal scars that grow beyond the original site of the skin energy. These scars often appear firm, reddish to purplish, and they build over time
• hypertrophic scarring: characterized by excess scar tissue. These scars are firm, raised and pink in color.  Sometimes they fade over time.
• atrophic scarring: depressed and pin like pockets in the skin.  Oftentimes this scarring is a result of moderate to severe acne.

The aforementioned scars can be treated with numerous methods and treatments.  Oftentimes laser skin resurfacing, phototherapy, micro-dermabrasion, and/or fillers may be used to treat scarring.  Treatments are individualized and consultations are free, so come see us today about your scar removal needs.
