Minimal downtime
Scars are a natural part of the skin’s healing process, but they can sometimes be a source of discomfort or self-consciousness. Whether caused by acne, surgery, or injury, scars can vary in size, shape, and texture.

Our specialists will customize the best treatment plan for your skin.
To maintain results, periodic follow-up treatments may be necessary, especially for deeper scars, more persistent skin concerns, or conditions prone to recurrence. Your provider will develop a personalized skincare plan tailored to your skin type and goals, incorporating a combination of at-home care, medical-grade skincare products, and professional treatments. Consistency with follow-up sessions and a well-rounded skincare routine will help ensure long-lasting improvement, enhanced skin texture, and optimal skin health over time. Regular consultations with your provider will also allow adjustments to your treatment plan as your skin evolves.
Patients typically notice a visible scar size and texture reduction within a few sessions, with continued improvement as collagen production increases and the skin heals naturally. Over time, scars continue to fade, and the skin’s overall smoothness, elasticity, and tone improve, leading to a more even and refreshed complexion. Deeper or more stubborn scars may require additional treatments to achieve the best possible results. A customized series of treatments combined with a personalized skincare regimen may be recommended for optimal, long-lasting improvement based on your skin type, scar severity, and treatment goals.
The number of sessions will be based on the severity, depth, type of scar, and individual skin healing responses. Most patients may need 3 to 6 treatments for significant improvement, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart to allow optimal skin regeneration.
Most procedures are well-tolerated, with only minimal discomfort. Sensations during treatment may include mild tingling, warmth, or slight pressure. To enhance comfort, numbing creams or cooling techniques can be applied before the procedure. Treatments are designed to be as gentle as possible while effectively improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility.
While treatments can significantly lessen the appearance of scars and improve skin texture, complete removal is not always possible. The degree of improvement depends on different factors, such as scar age, depth, and skin type. However, most patients experience a noticeable enhancement in skin smoothness, tone, and overall appearance, making scars far less prominent.
Results are long-lasting, especially with a consistent skincare routine and proper sun protection to prevent further skin damage. Some maintenance treatments may be recommended over time to sustain improvements, particularly for deeper scars or conditions that require ongoing care.
Yes! We treat a wide range of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, injury scars, stretch marks, and more. Different types of scars may respond better to specific treatments, so a consultation with our skincare experts will help determine the best approach based on your unique skin needs and goals.
Downtime depends on the type of treatment performed. Minimally invasive treatments involve little to no downtime, with mild redness or swelling that subsides within a few days. More intensive procedures may require a few days of recovery, during which patients may experience temporary peeling or sensitivity.
