Scar Treatment
Scar treatment surgery will not remove a scar but the procedure can be used to alter its alignment or shape to make it less noticeable. A scar is the body's way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin and is composed of fibrous tissue. The appearance of a scar depends on various factors, including skin type, location, type of injury, age, and other factors. There are a number of different scar treatments including dermabrasion, chemical peels, collagen injections, cyrosurgery, laser resurfacing, punch grafts, surgical scar revision, and autologous fat transfer. During your initial consultation your doctor or surgeon will assess your sitatuation and recommend the best scar treatment for you.
