Scars - Stretch marks, Trauma scars reduction with Laser or Surgery

Surgical scar removal takes around an hour or two, depending upon the size of the scar.

It's done under local anaesthesia , and one can return to work immediately post surgery . Suture removal are done after a week . Best of the result is visible after three months .

No modality can erase the scar by 100 percent. Idea to make it mitigate by 60 to 80 percent .

All non surgical modalities work by boosting skin to form new elastin and collagen . As collagen builds up scar reduces in appearance .

In case the scar is deep and wide , it's best to cut and throw away the scarred skin. And suture the normal surrounding skin with thinnest possible sutures. Thus we convert a broad deep scar into a thin linear skin coloured mark which looks 70 to 80 percent better than the original scar.

But a superficial scar can be treated with combination of subsition , microneedling , lasers and dermabration.
