Visit Boulder Plastic Surgery for Scar Removal in the Denver Area
As resilient as our skin can be, scars are a very common part of life. Whether they are left over from a surgery or are the result of an injury, there are many times when a scar can be bothersome and unsightly. Fortunately, there are several solutions available for scar removal in the Denver area. We offer many different techniques to help reduce the size and appearance of scars, including laser treatments, dermabrasion, and collagen implantation and excision.
A Variety of Treatment Options
At Boulder Plastic Surgery, we pride ourselves on offering a number of different options for reducing the appearance of scars. There is no single procedure that is best for each and every scar, and your individual condition, age, and skin type must be assessed on an individual basis in order to determine the best treatment option. Through our wide range of procedures, we are able to help reduce the appearance of scars just about anywhere on the body.
The Pulse Dye Vascular Laser option is very effective for treating scars in their formation stages. The laser interacts with the blood vessels that form in the scar and prevents them from building up as much they would otherwise, which in turn leads to a less noticeable scar. This treatment is especially effective for acne blemishes, and requires a minimum of four applications (although more may be necessary, depending on an individual’s reaction to the treatment).
Cortisone is another popular option, whether it is administered in an injection or as a topical cream, it can improve the appearance of a scar to the point where more drastic measures for removal are not required. In some cases, re-excision can also be effective — this involves re-opening the scar and allowing it to heal again. This technique is especially handy for jagged scars, as they can be made to look much cleaner after re-excision.
We also offer dermabrasion treatment, which is a laser procedure that essentially removes the outermost layers of skin on the scarred area in order to help flatten a scar and decrease its prominence. This method is also highly effective for acne scars.
