About Scars Treatments
Scars can be distracting and distressing, and can impact patients’ function and self-confidence. We use a variety of treatments to improve the appearance of scars, using surgery, lasers, microneedling, dermal filler treatments, and anti-scar injections to remove keloid scars and soften the appearance of traumatic and acne scars.
