Procedural Dermatology
Scar Treatments
If a scar is raised, itchy or pulls the skin down, it is the type of scar that decides the treatment, not a standard sequence. Scars differ in depth, texture, color and activity, and raised scars and tethered scars benefit from different procedural approaches.
Options include steroid injections into the scar (intralesional triamcinolone) for raised or active scars and subcision for tethered scars. Laser or other complementary treatment may be discussed when it addresses a different part of the scar.
What we treat
Different scars require different tools.
- Hypertrophic or raised scars
- Keloid-prone scars
- Tethered or rolling acne scars
- Itchy, painful or tight scars
- Mixed scar patterns that need staged care
