Scar Treatment

Improve Skin Texture and the Appearance of Scars

Scars are a natural part of the skin's healing process, but some may remain raised, depressed, discolored, or uneven long after an injury or breakout has healed.

Whether your scars are caused by acne, surgery, injury, or other skin conditions, Zand Dermatology offers individualized evaluations and treatment recommendations to help improve their appearance.

Types of Scars We Evaluate

• Acne Scars: Depressed, pitted, or uneven areas left after acne.
• Surgical Scars: Scars resulting from medical or surgical procedures.
• Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars that remain within the original wound boundaries.
• Keloid Scars: Raised scars that extend beyond the original injury.
• Discolored Scars: Areas of persistent redness or pigmentation following healing.

Scar Treatment Options

Depending on the scar type, location, and individual skin characteristics, treatments may include:

• CO2 Laser Resurfacing: May improve the texture and appearance of selected scars.
• Laser Treatments: Can help address certain scar-related redness or texture concerns.
• Corticosteroid Injections: May flatten and soften some raised scars.
• Prescription Topical Treatments: May help manage associated discoloration or skin concerns.
