Scar Revision Techniques: From Laser Resurfacing to Surgical Correction
Visible scars, whether from acne, injuries, or past surgeries can impact appearance and self-confidence. At Genesis Dermatology Hospital, Chennai, patients receive access to the full spectrum of scar revision treatments, from advanced laser therapies to surgical correction, delivering natural improvements for all skin types.
Types of Scars and Diagnosis
Genesis experts classify scars as hypertrophic, keloid, depressed, or contracture types. Careful examination identifies scar type, tissue quality, and the best treatment method. Acne scars, burn scars, and surgical marks are all approached with a tailored plan.
Laser Resurfacing for Smoother Texture
Fractional CO2 and Er:YAG lasers help smooth raised edges, remodel collagen, and improve irregular textures. These minimally invasive treatments work well for acne scars and minor surgical marks, with recovery ranging from a few days to a week.
Scar Fillers, Microneedling & PRP
Injectable fillers can plump up depressed (atrophic) scars instantly, while microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy stimulate the body’s healing response, encouraging even skin texture.
Surgical Techniques for Complex Scars
For deeper or extensive scars, excisional surgery, Z-plasty, W-plasty, or geometric closure techniques may be recommended. These methods reposition scars, release contractures, and carefully realign skin for a less conspicuous result.
