SCARS AND STRETCH MARKS

Scarring on the face and other exposed areas of the body can cause considerable embarrassment and distress. Scar revision offers a solution for individuals who wish to minimize the appearance of skin irregularities that remain after wounds or surgical incisions heal. Scar tissue can vary in color, depth and texture and the appearance of your scar will play a major role in determining the best type of treatment for you. Subtle scars that involve small surface irregularities or discolorations often respond well to non-invasive treatments, such as simple topical treatments. Carboxytherapy, laser therapy, chemical peel and mesotherapy serve to reduce the appearance of surface scarring and discoloration. Hypertropic scars, those that consist of thick clusters of scar tissue, as well as keloids and generally require surgical revision.
