Scar Revision Techniques: Improving Aesthetic Outcomes

Mar 12, 2024 by Dr. Aravind

Scars mature over time, but some remain raised, widened or uneven. Scar revision aims to improve texture, alignment and appearance.

Common options

• Silicone gel/sheets and pressure therapy
• Laser or resurfacing treatments (for selected scars)
• Injectables for hypertrophic scars/keloids
• Surgical scar revision for improved alignment

What to expect

• Results improve gradually as the scar remodels.
• Sun protection is important to avoid pigmentation.
• Follow-ups ensure optimal healing and scar care.
