What is scar revision?
Scar revision is a medical or cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of a scar or alleviating discomfort associated with it. It involves various techniques like topical treatments, injections, resurfacing methods, or surgical procedures.

Who is a candidate for scar revision?
Anyone with an unwanted scar may consider scar revision. Common reasons include:
  • Acne scars
  • Burn scars
  • Scars from surgeries like C-sections
  • Scars from traumatic injuries
How do topical treatments work for scar revision?
Topical treatments work by applying creams, gels, or dressings directly to the scar:
  • Pressure therapy helps flatten raised scars.
  • Silicone gels and sheets relieve itching and irritation and prevent scar elevation.

What types of scars are best treated with injectables?
Injectables are most effective for raised scars and keloids. They can:
  • Reduce scar size and discomfort.
  • Corticosteroid injections minimize collagen formation.
  • 5-FU or bleomycin injections halt cell growth to prevent scar tissue formation.
When is surgery recommended for scar management?
Surgery is typically recommended for large, severe scars or scars that cause pain or restrict movement.
