Surgical Scars
Treatments to minimize the appearance of abdominal surgery, incision scars and facial scars.
What Are Surgical Scars?
Scars naturally fade over time, but some may remain noticeable. Visible scars can result from abdominal surgery, acne, or facial injuries and may affect the texture and appearance of the skin. Different types of scars develop depending on how the skin heals, including keloid scars, contracture scars, hypertrophic scars, and acne scars. While scars are part of the body’s healing process, some individuals seek treatment to reduce their visibility and improve overall skin texture.
For those looking to minimize visible scars, microneedling is offered as an option to help reduce the appearance of various scar types.
Surgical Scar Treatment Options
Treatment options include microneedling and chemical peels. Microneedling is used to reduce the appearance of surgical scars and is a preferred treatment for hypertrophic scars. It carries a low risk of hyperpigmentation problems and additional scarring, making it suitable for sensitive skin, thin skin, or skin with naturally high melanin content prone to discoloration or melasma.
Microneedling works by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which help maintain skin structure and elasticity. The tiny punctures created during treatment increase skin permeability and enhance the absorption of topical treatments.
