What are Scar Treatments?
Scars are very common skin flaws and can be located on any area of the face and body. For some people, a scar is a reminder of an old wound, past trauma, or even some other condition that disrupted the skin's surface. While some scars aren't a worry, others may be unsightly and unappealing. They can be too wide, large, dark, red, bumpy, sunken, or raised. Based on where the scar is placed and its condition, scar treatments may be needed to improve its appearance. At Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania in Devon, PA, we offer a variety of scar treatments to improve your scar's appearance and reduce its visibility.
How Do Scar Treatments Work?
Scar treatments are personalized for each patient at Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania. The chosen treatments depend on the location, color, texture, age, size, cause, and severity of the scar. A topical or local anesthetic may be used to help ensure your comfort; however, most patients experience minimal discomfort during their treatment. The number of sessions you require will be determined during your initial consultation and will be customized to meet your unique needs and beauty goals. Regardless of which advanced technology is used to treat your scar’s appearance, it may take several sessions to reach optimal results. After completing your plan, you can see a dramatic improvement in the appearance of the scar.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania 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.
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!
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.

Scar Treatment FAQ
Are the results of scar treatment permanent?
Scar treatment results are generally long-lasting, but it's important to note that scars cannot be entirely erased. The treatment significantly improves the appearance of scars by reducing their size, color, and texture irregularities. The permanence of the results also depends on factors like sun protection, skin care routine, and any future skin trauma. While the scar will continue to fade over time, maintenance treatments may be recommended for the best ongoing results.
Are there nonsurgical options for scar treatment?
Scars that are inverted or indented may work best with an injectable dermal filler. There are several dermal fillers available that can be used. During the procedure, the filler will be injected into the skin using a needle. Dr. Wang may massage the epidermis of the skin to help mold the scar accordingly.
Can laser scar treatment be used on all types of scars?
Scar treatment can be effective for various types of scars, including acne, surgical, traumatic, and hypertrophic scars. However, the type and severity of the scar will determine the most appropriate treatment to use. Some scars may respond better to fractional lasers, while others might benefit more from ablative or non-ablative lasers. It's essential to have a consultation with a qualified professional who can assess your scar and recommend the best treatment option.
