Scar Revision
Scars tell a story, but they don’t have to define your skin. At Ivy Dermatology & Surgery Clinic, we recognize that scars — whether caused by acne, injury, surgery, or burns — can significantly impact both appearance and self-confidence. Our approach to scar revision combines medical precision with an artistic eye, aiming not just to improve skin texture but to restore balance and harmony.
What Is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a customized treatment plan designed to reduce the visibility of scars and improve skin appearance. While scars cannot be completely erased, they can often be softened, smoothed, and blended so that they are far less noticeable.
Types of Scars We Treat:
- Surgical Scars – From prior procedures
- Traumatic Scars – Caused by injury or accidents
- Acne Scars – Including rolling, ice pick, and boxcar scars
- Keloids & Hypertrophic Scars – Raised, thickened scars due to overactive healing
- Burn Scars – Often requiring a combination of methods
Treatment Options for Scar Revision
At Ivy Dermatology, we utilize a range of evidence-based and aesthetically focused techniques, often combining them for optimal results.
1. Surgical Scar Revision
- Excision of the scar followed by meticulous closure
- Repositioning scars along natural skin lines for better camouflage
2. Injectable Treatments
- Corticosteroid injections for raised or keloid scars
- Dermal fillers to improve depressed acne or surgical scars
3. Microneedling & Advanced Therapies
- Collagen induction to improve texture
- Chemical peels to refine tone and smooth mild surface irregularities
Recovery & Expectations
- Downtime: Varies depending on the procedure, ranging from minimal for injections to several days for surgical revisions.
- Healing: Results improve gradually as the skin remodels and collagen rebuilds.
- Results: While no treatment can completely erase a scar, our goal is to create a scar that is far less visible, blends naturally, and restores confidence.
