Scar revision is a specialized procedure designed to reduce the appearance of visible scars caused by surgery, injury, acne, or trauma. Depending on the type, size, and location of the scar, treatments can range from minimally invasive laser therapy to more advanced surgical techniques. Laser-assisted revision targets the pigment and texture of the scar to smooth and blend it with surrounding skin, while surgical scar revision involves removing or repositioning the scar to make it less noticeable. Each approach is tailored to your skin type, scar severity, and cosmetic goals. At Vita Skin, we use state-of-the-art technology and advanced techniques to restore skin’s natural appearance and texture while minimizing discomfort and downtime.
Scar revision focuses on minimizing the visibility of scars so that they blend more naturally with surrounding skin in tone, texture, and contour. This service is highly personalized, using both surgical techniques and non-surgical methods like fractional laser resurfacing to reduce the prominence of scars. Surgical scar revision is often used for deeper or more pronounced scars and involves excising the old scar and carefully closing the area with precision to promote a more subtle, refined result. Laser-assisted treatments are best suited for red, raised, or discolored scars and work by stimulating collagen and smoothing skin texture. Whether the goal is to fade an old surgical scar, soften acne scarring, or refine a traumatic injury site, the right combination of techniques can produce dramatic, confidence-boosting results.
Scar revision begins with an in-depth consultation to assess the size, type, location, and age of your scar. Based on this evaluation, Dr. Steele will recommend a treatment plan that may involve surgical revision, laser therapy, or both. Surgical revision is typically done with local anesthesia and involves removing or repositioning the scar tissue. Laser-assisted procedures use focused energy to target the scar’s pigment and texture, breaking down excess tissue and stimulating healthy skin regeneration. Sessions vary in length depending on the method, and most patients can return to light activities shortly after treatment. Some procedures may require multiple sessions for optimal results, especially for older or more prominent scars.
Scar revision is a treatment designed to improve the appearance of existing scars by using either surgical methods or laser therapy. This process is ideal for individuals who have visible scarring due to surgery, injury, acne, or other skin trauma that has left permanent marks. Each scar is unique in shape, size, color, and depth, so scar revision is always personalized to meet the specific needs of the patient.
