Frequently Questions Asked

Will the scar ever disappear completely?

No treatment in the world can completely make a scar disappear. What can be done is though make them fine and such that they will not be obviously visible.

What procedure will I require?

Small scars or scars that are superficial may be treated with non-surgical means but the scars which are deep will need surgery to make them smaller and finer using plastic surgery principles following which the non-surgical methods may be used to decrease the scars further.

How long will the recovery take?

This is a question that can only be answered by examining your scar. Usually if a surgery is required it is done under local anaesthesia where you can go home right after. The stitches would come off on the third to the fifth day depending on the scar and skin quality.

The non-surgical methods would require multiple sittings. Treatments such as CO2 lasers and mnRF help deposit collagen and improve the quality including the texture and pliability of hard hypertrophic scars.

Can I get scar revision surgeries done if I have had the scar since childhood? or if it is within the last month?

Scars mature over a time period. Since we use all modalities of treatment, we can treat the scars at different points of their life cycle when the patient presents to us. The earlier you present, the better are the chances of the scar improving. Any type of scar at any stage can be improved by appropriate treatments. It may take some time, but persistence is the key.

What is the cost of scar treatment?

The cost varies. This is because no scar would be the same and would require different modalities of treatment over time

What are Keloids and hypertrophic scars? Can they be treated?

Scars that appear raised over the skin are known as keloids or hypertrophic scars. The difference between the two is that hypertrophic scars would settle down, whereas the keloids may keep growing.

Hypertrophic scars are usually associated with deeper trauma and more damage such as burns. This is where the scar may thicken if preventive measures and treatments are not done in the early phase and cause a variety of problems such as a sensation of tightness and problems in motion if the scar happens to be across a joint.

Keloids on the other hand don’t have a permanent or a long term solution. A variety of treatments including surgical debulking, CO2 lasers, triamcinolone injections and silicone gel and patches and pressure garments will help but will require long term treatment to control it.
