Scars (Post Traumatic / Burn )

Scars caused by injuries, burns, surgeries, or trauma can affect both appearance and confidence. Dermatologists offer advanced treatments to reduce scar visibility, improve skin texture, and restore confidence with minimally invasive and non-surgical procedures.

Types of Scars Treated

  • Post-Traumatic Scars – Resulting from accidents, injuries, or deep wounds.
  • Burn Scars – Hypertrophic, keloid, or contracture scars caused by burns.
  • Surgical Scars – Scars left after medical procedures.
  • Atrophic Scars – Depressed scars due to skin tissue loss.
  • Keloid & Hypertrophic Scars – Thick, raised scars caused by excess collagen production.


Dermatological Treatments for Scars

  • Laser Resurfacing (CO2 or Fractional Laser) – Smoothens skin texture and reduces pigmentation.
  • Microneedling (with PRP or RF Microneedling) – Stimulates collagen production to repair damaged skin.
  • Chemical Peels – Helps fade pigmented scars and improve skin tone.
  • Injectable Fillers – Used for depressed scars to restore volume.
  • Steroid Injections – Reduces thick, raised scars (keloids or hypertrophic scars).
  • Silicone Gel Therapy – Helps flatten and soften scars over time.
  • Exosome or PRP Therapy – Promotes tissue regeneration and healing.
  • Surgical Revision – For severe contracture scars or deep scars requiring excision.


Procedure & Recovery

  • Step 1: Skin is assessed to determine the most suitable treatment.
  • Step 2: The selected treatment (laser, microneedling, peels, etc.) is performed.
  • Step 3: Post-care includes hydration, sun protection, and avoiding harsh skincare.
  • Downtime varies by procedure – from minimal (peels, PRP) to a few days (laser treatments).
  • Multiple sessions (3–6) may be needed for optimal results.
  • Visible improvement starts within weeks and continues over months.
