  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Morisada will evaluate your scar, discuss your goals, and explain the most suitable techniques for achieving optimal results.

Treating Different Types of Scars

Scar revision can improve the appearance of various types of scars, including the following:

  • Hypertrophic scars (raised scars resulting from surgical procedures or injury)
  • Keloid scars (larger, raised scars that extend beyond the original injury site)
  • Contracture scars (tight scars, often resulting from burns, which restrict movement)
    Atrophic scars (sunken scars, such as those from acne or chickenpox)

Your Recovery After Scar Revision

Recovery from scar revision varies based on the technique used and the size and location of the scar. Typically, patients can expect mild swelling, redness, and tenderness around the treatment area. These effects usually subside within one to two weeks, with further improvements in a scar’s appearance becoming noticeable over the following months—leaving your skin recovered and refreshed. Your skincare routine is integral to maintaining your results; this is something Dr. Morisada will discuss with you post-surgery.
