Scar Revision

Keloids are scars that are thick, raised, and grow beyond the boundary of the original skin injury. Keloids typically require a few treatment modalities to fully resolve.

A hypertrophic scar is your normal scar that has become thickened and raised at the wound site. They typically can be treated well with minor procedures.

Benefits include:

• Decreases discomfort, such as itchiness or pain
• Improves appearance
• Increases health of surrounding skin
• Reduces scar size
• Lightens scar color
• Flattens scar protrusion

This depends on whether you have mild scarring or scarring that is more severe.

For mild scars, we might recommend one of the following non-surgical techniques such as:

• Topical treatments
• Silicone gels
• Steroid injection (performed in office)

For more potent scars, our physicians also offer a number of other techniques, such as:

• Release of scar bands
• Scar excision
• Dermabrasion
