Scar Revision
Southlake & DFW Area
What Is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a medical or laser-based treatment designed to improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, surgery, injuries, or stretch marks.
Using advanced laser technology, microneedling, or other resurfacing techniques, scar revision reduces redness, smooths texture, and stimulates collagen production, helping scars blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Skin concerns commonly treated:
- Acne scars (pitted, raised, or discolored)
- Surgical scars
- Trauma or injury scars
- Stretch marks
- Burn scars
- Keloid scars (thick, raised, and overgrown)
- Hypertrophic scars (raised but confined to the original wound area)
- Hyperpigmentation or discoloration from scarring
- Textural irregularities from previous wounds
How Does Laser Scar Revision Work?
Lasers are suitable for the long-term treatment of a wide variety of scar tissues. Er:YAG skin resurfacing is utilized for delicate scar tissue ablation and collagen remodeling activation. Er:YAG treatments work particularly well on acne scars.
Clinical studies using the Nd:YAG wavelength on hypertrophic scars have demonstrated further improvement in the cosmetic appearance and general tissue quality of a scar, including erythema, volume, pliability, and so on.
Uses for Scar Revision:
- Reduces the appearance of scars from acne, surgery, injuries, or burns
- Smooths skin texture by resurfacing uneven or raised scars
- Fades discoloration and hyperpigmentation caused by scarring
- Stimulates collagen production to enhance skin regeneration
- Softens and flattens hypertrophic or keloid scars
- Improves skin elasticity for a more natural look and feel
- Boosts confidence by minimizing the visibility of scars
What to expect during the treatment:
At the start of the treatment, our provider sanitizes the treatment area and applies a numbing cream to prevent any discomfort and pain during the procedure. Then the laser is used with both Ablative and Non ablative wavelengths to create tissue injury.
The body’s natural healing mechanism gets activated, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production that promotes new and healthy skin growth that considerably reduces the visible scars.
Toward the end of the procedure, a topical cream is applied to the treated skin to help it heal faster. To enjoy the maximum benefits from the treatment, you must follow the instructions recommended by your physician.
- Avoid sun exposure for the next 4-6 weeks
- Wash the area and moisturize as recommended.
- Avoid wearing makeup.
