Scar Removal Treatment Options in Charleston

If you are unhappy with a scar that doesn’t want to fade, there are many options available to you. The professionals at Trident Dermatology® offer a variety of dermatology options that can help you achieve this goal of reducing the appearance of your scars.

Some of their treatment options include:

• Chemical Peel: This uses a chemical solution that removes damaged top layers of the skin and regenerate skin underneath the scar.
• Dermabrasion: This treatment polishes the top layer of the skin to improve contour. It also helps to replace the older skin with a smoother and more refreshed layer of skin, which hides the scar. This is recommended for minor scars.
• Microdermabrasion: This sprays tiny crystals into the skin to improve the appearance of mild scars. This is achieved by stimulating cells and requires several small sessions to be successful
• Laser skin resurfacing: This is done with a laser that sends short, pulsating beams of light at a scar. It removes damaged skin one layer at a time.
• Topical Retinoids: This medication is applied to the skin to help smooth out acne scars. This isn’t recommended for deep scars.
