Scarring is the lasting evidence of injuries or damage to your skin. After a wound, your skin builds up scar tissue to repair the damaged area as part of the healing process. This scar tissue is made primarily of collagen and is thick and firm.
Some scars are small and fade away with time. Deep, thick, or large scars can persist for the rest of your life. The team at Serenity Rejuvenation Center offers several treatment options for scars to lighten discoloration, break down scar tissue, and even out your skin’s texture.
During a consultation appointment, the team examines your scar or scars. The form of treatment they use depends on the size, type, and location of the scar, as well as its age.
There are multiple types of scars that can appear on your skin. The team at Serenity Rejuvenation Center specializes in treating:`
Acne scars are divots in the skin that remain after inflammation from an acne breakout damages your skin. You increase your likelihood of getting lasting acne scars if you pick or pop your pimples and blemishes. They’re usually a type of atrophic scar, which is indented into the skin.
Keloid scars are overgrowths of scar tissue raised above your skin’s surface level. They’re often shiny and firm, but they vary in size. These are a type of hypertrophic scar, which are raised and may get smaller with time.
Serenity Rejuvenation Center offers a few treatment options for scarring on your skin, which treat the scars by breaking down scar tissue or removing the diseased or damaged cells from your skin’s surface.
Your treatment for one or more scars at Serenity Rejuvenation Center might involve:
Many topical products can also help lighten scars and treat some of the textural issues that come with them. The team at Serenity Rejuvenation Center devises a treatment plan after examining your scar or scars.
