The Science of Scar Formation

Scars tell stories of past experiences, but they don’t have to define your future appearance. Whether from acne, surgery, injury or other causes, scars can affect your skin’s texture and your personal confidence. At AesthetiCare, we understand that each scar has its own unique characteristics and requires a personalized approach for optimal improvement.

Scars form as part of your body’s natural healing process after skin damage. When an injury occurs, your body produces collagen fibers to repair the wound. This new collagen often has a different texture and quality than your surrounding skin, creating visible scarring. The appearance of each scar can vary greatly depending on the type of injury, depth of damage, location on the body and your own healing characteristics.

Types of Scars We Treat

Understanding the type of scar you have will determine the right treatment approach. Atrophic scars, common with acne, appear as depressions in the skin where tissue has been lost. Hypertrophic scars rise above the skin’s surface due to excess collagen production during healing. Keloid scars extend beyond the original injury site and can even continue growing.

Our Advanced Treatment Options

We offer a comprehensive range of treatments to address various types of scarring. Through our extensive experience with advanced technologies, we’ve developed effective protocols for improving scar appearance and texture.

Genius Microneedling

This treatment combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and remodel scar tissue. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries while delivering RF energy deep into the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This dual-action approach helps break down scar tissue while promoting the formation of healthy new skin cells.

Laser Treatments

For many scars, laser therapy provides excellent results. The Moxi laser can help improve surface texture and reduce discoloration associated with scarring. For deeper scars, we may recommend more intensive laser treatments that target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin to stimulate comprehensive remodeling.

Chemical Peels

Professional chemical peels are particularly effective for superficial scarring and improving overall skin texture. These treatments remove damaged surface cells while stimulating collagen production, helping to smooth and refine the skin’s appearance.

The Treatment Process

Your scar treatments begin with a thorough consultation. We assess your specific type of scarring and discuss your goals. We’ll examine the scar’s age, depth and location to develop the most effective treatment strategy.

Proper aftercare will help you achieve the best results from your scar therapy. We’ll provide detailed instructions for caring for your skin following each procedure, including specific products to use and activities to avoid. Sun protection becomes particularly important during the healing process to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Expected Results and Timeline

Improvement in scar appearance typically occurs gradually over several months as your skin produces new collagen and undergoes remodeling. While some patients notice changes after their first treatment, optimal results usually require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Once you’ve achieved your desired improvement, we’ll work with you to develop a maintenance plan that helps preserve your results. This may include periodic touch-up treatments and recommendations for specific skincare products to support ongoing skin health.

Supporting Your Healing Journey

Our team provides consistent support and guidance throughout your treatment process. We understand that improving scars can be an emotional journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
