Scars

Scars can be caused by acne, surgery and trauma to the skin. Scars can demonstrate a variety of characteristics such as thickening, itching, pain, redness, dark discoloration, depressions and indentations. Scars are permanent and no treatment can erase a scar . However, treatments can help blend the scars with surrounding skin so that they are not as noticeable. Treatments include intralesional steroid injections, pulse dye laser treatments, CO2 resurfacing, filler injections, and surgical scar revision. Combination treatments are usually utilized and most treatments are not covered by insurance. Our physicians can assess your scars to determine the best approach to improve their appearance.
