DERMA PRICE
Scar Treatment
If you're looking for scar treatment in Miami, our practice offers advanced non-invasive options to improve acne scars, surgical scars, traumatic scars, and keloids. While no treatment can completely remove a scar, the right combination of laser and filler treatments can visibly soften, flatten, and fade many types of scars – though results vary by scar type, and keloids in particular often need a different approach, so a consultation is the best way to set expectations.
What Causes Scarring?
Scars are firm, elevated, or depressed areas that can result from acne, traumatic injury, certain diseases, or surgery of the skin. When the skin is injured, the body's normal wound healing response is triggered. The degree of scarring that develops depends on your genetic disposition, age, depth, breadth, and location of the injury. Sometimes the body mounts an exaggerated wound healing response, resulting in an elevated or keloidal scar. Sometimes a depressed or indented scar develops. Scars can also be red, pink, white, or hyperpigmented.
While most scars tend to improve with time, sometimes the healing process leads to the development of red, thickened, elevated scars or depressed and indented scars. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available to improve the appearance of acne induced, surgical, traumatic and other types of scars. Fraxel laser treatments can improve the appearance of indented and depressed scars and are especially beneficial for the treatment of acne scars. Vbeam laser treatments can lessen depressed and elevated red scars. A series of treatments can stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of depressed acne scars. Filler injections with the latest FDA approved fillers can fill certain depressed scars creating a more even, smooth skin surface.
We offer a variety of non-invasive scar treatments including:
Filler Injections - fill depressed and indented scars for a smoother, more even skin surface
Vbeam Laser - reduces redness and improves red, elevated scars
Fraxel Laser - resurfaces indented, depressed, and acne scars by stimulating new collagen production
Microneedling - improves depressed acne scars by stimulating collagen production.
