Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are unavoidable results of injury or surgery. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Scars may be raised or recessed, different in color or texture from surrounding skin.
Your treatment options may vary based on the type and degree of scarring and can include:
Application of topical products
Non –invasive or minimally invasive procedures
Surgical revision
Scar revision surgery is meant to minimize the scar so that it is more consistent with your surrounding skin. It can improve the appearance but it cannot completely erase the scar.
