What is scar revision?

While scarring is part of the body's natural healing process, some scars are cosmetically unpleasing and may arise in an area that you find unattractive. Advances in dermatology and cosmetic surgery offer some highly effective treatment options to revise your scar's appearance.

Ointments and pressure dressings: Petroleum or dimethicone salves speed healing and minimize scarring. Silicone treatments increase hydration during healing. Pressure garments are used for large areas, such as burns, to reduce scarring.
Vitamins, botanicals, and cosmeceutical preparations: A number of supplements, taken by mouth or placed on the scar with a topical preparation, can fade discoloration and improve the appearance in some scars.
Steroids: Topical creams can often help thin out thick or hypertrophic scars. Injections with steroid medications can also flatten and soften some types of scars.
Laser therapy: Different laser and light devices heat the skin and redistribute collagen to smooth scars.
Dermabrasion: Removal of the outer layers of skin refines the appearance of shallow facial scars.
Chemical peels: Chemical Peels are a controlled method of using specific acidic solution derived from natural fruits to remove top layers of skin, refining scars.
Fillers: Injections of dermal filler can improve the appearance of indented scars.
Surgery: Scar revision surgery involves excision – cutting the scar out – with reconstruction and controlled healing of the new wound. Anesthetic keeps the patient comfortable throughout the procedure, which is usually performed at the doctor’s office.

For a personalized scar revision treatment plan, schedule an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist at your nearest Sanova Dermatology location.
