Scar Improvement Treatments
The way scars develop can be unpredictable, whether it’s a wound caused by an accident or a surgical incision. Many factors influence the severity of scarring, such as the size and depth of the wound, the thickness and color of your skin, the area of the body affected, the blood supply to the area, and the direction of the scar. Luckily most scars can be improved with nonsurgical methods. Dr. Elliott uses a combination of lasers, light devices, subcision (loosening the fibers under the skin that pull a scar inward) and medication injections. These treatments can reduce the appearance of scars by up 80% depending on the type of scar.
