Scar Revision

Addresses the following concerns

  • Desire to lessen the appearance of a scar.
  • Desire for an overall smoother, flatter looking, less irregular looking skin surface.
  • Desire for more even skin color and tone.

Treatment Options - depending upon the type of scar and the patient’s expectations, Dr. Mendelsohn can offer a variety of different treatments. Chemical Peels, surgical and laser options are outpatient, and performed in our AAAHC accredited surgery center. Recovery times vary from little to none to about a week, depending upon the type of procedure performed.

  • Topical treatments such as silicone gel pads, retin-a, or hydroquinone.
  • Injections of steroids into the scar tissue.
  • Laser treatment such as Intense Pulse Light or Fraxel.
  • Chemical peel, which removes the upper layers of skin and the scars contained therein.
  • Surgical options such as simple excisions, shaving lesions, surgical revisions, punch excisions, punch and suture, punch and elevation, punch float, punch and graft, z-plastys or other surgical procedures.
  • Hyaluronic Acid fillers injected into depressions under the skin.

The Result

  • Smoother, more even skin surface.
  • More confidence in your appearance.
