surgery
Treatments Explained:
There are various options for treating surgical scars. The two most effective methods include lasers and microneedling. Laser therapy involves using focused light to gently remove the scar’s top layers, promoting the growth of smoother skin. Microneedling, on the other hand, employs tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and encourage the skin’s natural healing, ultimately reducing the scar’s appearance over time. These treatments offer valuable options for diminishing the visibility of surgical scars and achieving improved skin texture and tone. A consultation with a professional can help determine the most suitable approach based on individual scar characteristics and personal goals.
