What are Scars?

Scars affect many individuals and can occur after trauma, surgery, self-inflicted injury (cutting), or any time the skin is compromised. They are the result of the body’s natural healing process in human tissue.

Types of Scars

  • Atrophic scars are lower and thinner than the surrounding skin.
  • Hypertrophic scars are thickened and elevated above the skin but remain within the boundaries of the initial injury.
  • Keloid scars are an extreme overgrowth of scar tissue, characterized by a thick, raised, and “rope-like” appearance.
  • Acne scarring is common in individuals who have suffered from acne.

Scar Treatment Options at ICLS

Dr. Sapra will assess a scar to determine a treatment plan that may include use of injections, liquid nitrogen, macroneedling, or laser therapy with VBeam®, Genesis, StarWalker® or Pico lasers.

Depending on the type and severity of the scar, surgical scar revision may be required when injection and laser are not enough. This procedure is performed by our plastic surgeon under local anesthetic in order to reduce and improve the look of the scar. It may be necessary to proceed with laser treatment and/or topical silicone gel therapy (Dermatix Si gel) to further enhance the results and reduce inflammation and redness.
