Understanding Scars
Scars are a natural part of the skin’s healing process after an injury, surgery, or trauma. When the skin is damaged, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the wound, resulting in scar tissue. The final appearance of a scar can vary widely depending on several factors, including the depth and size of the wound, the location on the body, your age, skin type, and genetic predisposition:
- Flat Scars: These are the most typical type of scar and may initially appear red or darker than the surrounding skin but usually fade and flatten over time.
- Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, thick scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound.
- Keloid Scars: These are more severe raised scars that grow beyond the edges of the original injury; they can be itchy or painful.
- Atrophic Scars: Sunken or pitted scars often caused by acne, chickenpox, or other conditions that destroy skin tissue.
- Contracture Scars: These occur when a large area of skin is lost or burned, causing the skin to tighten; contracture scars can restrict movement.
- Stretch Marks (Striae): A form of scarring that results from rapid skin stretching, often due to growth spurts, pregnancy, or weight changes.
What Techniques Are Used in Scar Revision?
Scar revision techniques are tailored to the type, size, and location of the scar, and optimal results are often achieved through a combination of treatments. Laser therapy has become a cornerstone of modern scar treatment, and the UltraClear Laser represents a new advancement designed for both efficacy and safety.
Dr. Hedayati uses this technology to precisely target scar tissue, stimulate collagen remodeling, and improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime. Depending on the individual case, he may also recommend complementary treatments such as steroid or other injectable therapies, or even surgical revision, to further enhance outcomes and promote more complete skin restoration.
How to Choose a Provider
Choosing the right provider makes all the difference in scar revision. You want someone with medical expertise, artistic attention to detail, and access to the latest technology. Dr. Hedayati is known for combining science and artistry in every treatment he offers. As a fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist he brings a modern, patient-focused approach to scar revision.
