How Scar Treatments Work
How Do Scar Treatments Work?
Scar revision treatments trigger your body’s natural healing process to replace damaged tissue with healthier, smoother skin.
- Break Down Scar Tissue – Laser energy or needling creates controlled micro-injuries that prompt your body to clear away old, damaged scar tissue.
- Rebuild Fresh Collagen – Heat or light stimulates new collagen production beneath the skin, gradually smoothing texture and improving elasticity.
- Fade Discoloration – Targeted wavelengths break down excess pigment in dark scars or redness in raised scars, normalizing skin tone.
- Restore Volume – Injectable fill.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Scar Treatments
What types of scars can be treated?
We treat surgical scars, acne scars, injury scars, burn scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic (raised) scars, atrophic (depressed) scars, and discolored scars. During consultation, we assess your scar type and recommend appropriate treatment options.
How soon after injury or surgery can I start scar treatment?
Treatment is most effective once the wound is fully healed and closed, typically 6-8 weeks post-injury or surgery. Earlier intervention often produces better outcomes, but older scars can also be significantly improved.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on scar type, depth, age, and size. Most patients require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Superficial scars may improve with fewer treatments, while deep or extensive scarring benefits from comprehensive series.
Will scar treatments completely remove my scar?
While complete removal is rarely possible, treatments can significantly reduce scar visibility by 50-80%, improving texture, color, height, and overall appearance. Our goal is natural-looking improvement that blends scars seamlessly with surrounding skin.
Do scar treatments hurt?
Most patients tolerate treatments well. We apply topical numbing cream before procedures and use cooling devices during laser treatments. Sensation varies from mild tingling (IPL) to moderate heat (CO2 resurfacing), with comfort prioritized throughout.
Will my insurance cover scar treatments?
Cosmetic scar treatments are typically not covered by insurance as they’re elective aesthetic procedures. However, treatments for scars causing functional impairment or medical complications may qualify for coverage. We’ll verify your benefits if applicable.
Can old scars be improved?
Yes. While newer scars often respond more quickly, mature scars can still be significantly improved. Older scars may require more treatments or combination approaches, but visible improvement is achievable at any stage.
