Surgical Scars
Surgical scars are marks left on the skin after a surgical procedure, often resulting from the body’s natural healing process. Treatments for surgical scars aim to reduce their appearance by improving skin texture, tone, and flexibility. Various non-invasive options, such as microneedling, laser therapy, and chemical peels, promote collagen production and resurface the scar tissue. These treatments can address scars on multiple areas, including the face, abdomen, chest, arms, and legs. Each option is tailored based on the scar’s size, depth, and age, making it suitable for different patient needs.
