What are Scars?
Scars occur as a part of the body’s natural healing process and can vary in size, color, and shape. Scars can result from burns, surgery, acne, trauma, accidents, and more. Although most scars are not an issue, some can be an unwanted reminder of a wound or condition. Most scars can fade somewhat with time, but for those that do not diminish on their own, the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania team can help reduce their appearance and boost your confidence. Whether your scars are caused by acne, surgical procedures, or trauma, our team can help. If you have scars that are interfering with your appearance, contact our Devon, PA practice today to see how we can help.
How are Scars Treated?
At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania, we can provide advanced treatments to minimize the appearance of scars and enhance your look. The type of treatment we use can vary for each patient and can depend on the location, size, color, and type of scar you have. When you come for your initial consultation, we will discuss your treatment options to determine which will best meet your needs and address your concerns. A combination of therapies may be used to treat your needs effectively.
What are the Symptoms of Scars?
Scars usually appear pink or red when they first develop. Over time, the scar can appear darker or lighter than your surrounding skin. If you have darker skin, scars can commonly appear as dark spots. Scars can sometimes cause itching, discomfort, and tenderness. A scar's appearance can depend on multiple factors, such as:
- Your age
- Genetics
- Ethnicity
- Overall health
- Size, location, color, and severity
- Injury or cause of scar (like burn, acne, surgery, or trauma)
- Treatments that were received (like bandages or stitches)
Scars Reviews
He takes a skilled approach and makes you feel comfortable. He was able to prevent me from getting scar revision surgery and I am very thankful.
Dr. Wang and his staff are friendly and professional. I had a raised scar that I wanted injections and laser treatment for. My pain tolerance is extremely low and I'm not even exaggerating. He made me feel comfortable during both sessions. I highly recommend his office.
I met with Dr. Wang for the first time earlier this week. He and his assistant Nelly were extremely kind, thorough, and understanding. They both made sure that I was comfortable with the procedure and that all of my questions were answered. I am going through Fraxel Laser treatment to remove scars, and will be going back for an additional session next month. This location is about an hour from my home, but it is entirely worth the trip!
