What Scar Treatment Can Address
Different types of scars require different approaches. Some are raised or indented, others discolored, tight, or a combination of these. Effective treatment depends on matching the method to the type of scar and the patient’s skin type. At DVA Plastic Surgery in Houston, a range of treatment options is available to help patients achieve smoother, clearer skin with results that can restore both appearance and function.
Proven Scar Treatment Options
Several techniques are used to target and reduce the appearance of scars. These include:
- Subcision: Ideal for indented scars, this procedure involves inserting a needle under the skin to break up the fibrous bands anchoring the scar. It lifts the scarred area and promotes the growth of new tissue for long-term skin improvement.
- Excision: Best for severe or contracture scars, excision involves surgically removing the scar and surrounding damaged tissue. A skin graft or flap may be used to restore the area’s appearance and improve movement.
- Punch Elevation: Frequently used for boxcar or acne scars, a punch tool removes recessed scar tissue and lifts the base to the level of the surrounding skin, creating a smoother appearance with minimal disruption.
- Surface Treatments: Options such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and bleaching can correct discoloration and mild surface irregularities by removing damaged outer layers and encouraging skin regeneration.
- Laser Treatments: Laser therapy removes damaged skin with precision and stimulates natural collagen production to refine skin tone, texture, and appearance gradually.
- Fillers: Injectable fillers restore volume beneath depressed scars, evening out the skin’s surface. Though temporary, they are a convenient, non-surgical option for many types of scars.
