Scarring & Blemish Removal Program

Scarring & Blemish Removal Program

Specialized, stepwise plans to reduce acne scars, surgical and traumatic scars, and persistent blemishes — combining prevention, minimally invasive procedures, and long-term remodeling strategies.

Types of scarring we treat

  • Atrophic acne scars (icepick, boxcar, rolling)
  • Hypertrophic and keloid scars
  • Surgical/traumatic scars and persistent blemishes

Program goals

  • Reduce scar depth and improve texture
  • Soften edges and blend scar with surrounding skin
  • Minimize recurrence in keloid-prone patients

Expected timeline

4–8 weeks: early remodeling and texture change
3–6 months: significant improvement with staged treatments
Multiple sessions often required for best results.

Minimally invasive procedures

  • Microneedling with PRP or topical serums
  • Fractional lasers (ablative/non-ablative as selected)
  • Subcision for tethered rolling scars
  • Chemical reconstruction (CROSS) for icepick scars

Surgical & injectables

  • Scar revision and punch techniques for deep icepick/boxcar scars
  • Dermal fillers to lift depressed scars
  • Intralesional corticosteroids for hypertrophic/keloid scars

Surgical choices are discussed in-depth with expected downtime and outcomes explained.

Adjunctive care

  • Topical retinoids/peptides to improve remodeling
  • Sun protection and pigment control to prevent darkening
  • Silicone gels and pressure therapy where appropriate

How to prepare

  • Bring prior treatment history and photos if available
  • Avoid isotretinoin for 6 months before certain procedures unless cleared
  • Stop blood-thinning supplements/NSAIDs as advised before invasive steps

Aftercare & recovery

  • Follow wound-care instructions carefully after surgical or ablative procedures
  • Expect transient redness, swelling; downtime varies by procedure
  • Long-term maintenance may include topical agents and periodic touch-ups

Before & After

Show consenting patient photos demonstrating realistic staged improvements. Ideal format: side-by-side at similar lighting.

Can old scars be fully removed?

Complete removal is rarely possible; the goal is meaningful improvement in appearance and function. Multiple modalities often yield best outcomes.

Will treatments cause pigment changes?

Protocols are chosen to minimize post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin types. Pre- and post-care reduces risk.

How many sessions will I need?

Depends on scar type and severity—many patients require 2–6 sessions spaced appropriately; surgical steps may be combined when needed.
