Scars

Get your gleam on...

Scars are tissue that forms when normal tissue is destroyed by disease, injury, or surgery, and are then healed. They are seen as marks remaining after the healing of a wound, and are the body's natural way of healing and replacing the damaged skin. To improve the appearance of scars, we can repeatedly stimulate the remodeling phase of scar healing, a phase where the body converts the newly tissue-formed tissue of a wound to a scar. Other treatment options are also available to further smooth the scar's appearance such as skincare and laser treatments.

Treatment Options

Skincare

Skincare is a combination of practices that cleanses and support the skin, to enhance its appearance and condition. It can include a regimen that removes dirt, excess oil, cleaning the face, rejuvenation, and even protection via sunscreen and recommendations on makeup use. While steps vary, the typical order is to clean, tone, moisturize, occasionally exfoliate, and apply sunscreen. Skincare is important as it helps the skin be healthy and stay in good condition. Naturally, dirt will build up in our face, and we are shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it's important to have a regimen that can effectively clean this to prevent inflammations. An effective routine can help slow down signs of aging, prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep the skin looking its best. Once it is established, it is easier to maintain.
