what to expect*

preparation

Before treatment, your provider will carefully evaluate your skin, discussing scar type, treatment options, and expected results. You’ll receive recommendations for a personalized plan based on your skin’s needs.

procedure

The treatment approach depends on the selected method:

  • Microneedling, Laser Therapy, and Chemical Peels: These treatments stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin to improve scarring.
  • Steroid Injections: For raised scars, such as keloids, steroid injections may be used to reduce thickness and flatten the tissue.
aftercare

After the procedure, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, depending on the treatment. Your provider will offer specific aftercare instructions, such as hydrating the skin, avoiding direct sun exposure, and using prescribed topicals to enhance healing.

next steps

Results appear gradually as skin rejuvenates and collagen production increases, with multiple sessions often needed for optimal improvement. Follow-up visits help track progress and adjust treatments as needed.
