SCAR REVISION

—Scar treatments

Sometimes, a scar does not heal optimally. It occasionally widens in the healing process, stays reddish for longer, or thickens and becomes itchy. Scar treatment differs according to a set of criteria and the needs of the patient. Dr. Arbour will therefore choose one procedural approach from the following:

• IPL
• Erbium laser
• Fractional CO₂ laser
• Fractional radiofrequency (Fractora)
• Surgical scar revision
• Kenalog injection

Success varies and depends on individual expectations. A clinical consultation is essential for a proper assessment and to provide the most appropriate treatment options.
