Your skin is always adapting to you and your environment. When it undergoes some type of wound or trauma, it works hard to heal and protect you from infection, but sometimes it’s not able to heal back to its original form.
Deep painful acne, picking, and of course injury can all lead to scarring in some form. Stretch marks occur when your skin isn’t able to keep up as the volume increases, resulting in thin bands forming across the stretched out area.
This can happen during pregnancy, growth spurts, and weight gain.
There are a few types of scars, and no two are alike. We treat a lot of raised/hypertrophic scars, pitted/atrophic scars, and surgical scars to minimize their appearance. We can assess your particular scar and find the best treatment for it with a consultation.
It’s nearly impossible to completely remove a scar, but we can greatly improve the look of it permanently. We accomplish this by resurfacing the skin to help fade and minimize the scar’s appearance.
