Consultation and Preparation

During the consultation for Scar Revision, you will discuss your goals and expectations with our team. Your skin type, medical history, and the size and location of the scar will be considered when determining the best treatment option for you.

In some cases, additional tests may be required to evaluate the underlying tissue to determine if further action is necessary. This can include a skin biopsy for deeper lesions.

To prepare, you should:

  • Avoid applying makeup, lotions, or creams to the treatment area for at least 48 hours before the procedure.
  • Bring a list of any current medications, herbal supplements, or vitamins that you are taking.
  • Do not take aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications for at least ten days before treatment.
  • Stay out of direct sunlight and wear sunscreen for several weeks before and after the treatment to avoid further damage to the skin.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

The recovery process and aftercare for Scar Revision can vary depending on the treatment method used, the size and location of the scar, and individual patient factors. Here’s an overview of what to expect regarding results, recovery, and aftercare.

In most cases, results are immediate, as the scar is either excised, shaved off, or treated with electrocautery therapy. However, the final appearance of the treated area may take several weeks to months to become apparent as the skin heals and any redness or swelling subsides.

The recovery period can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the treatment method and the patient’s healing process. Patients should expect mild to moderate discomfort, swelling, and redness in the treated area during the initial healing phase.
