Scar Treatments: Options For Smoother, More Even Skin
A scar can tell part of your story, but that doesn’t mean you have to love the way it looks. Whether your scarring is from acne, surgery, or a procedure such as a mastectomy, there are treatments available to help improve its appearance and texture. At Lone Star Biogenetics, we offer several options that can improve texture and encourage smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure that features the use of very fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These tiny injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response and encourage new collagen and elastin production. As the skin remodels, scars may gradually become smoother and blend more evenly with the surrounding skin. Microneedling can be used for both acne and surgical scars on the face and body. A series of treatments is often recommended, with improvements continuing as fresh collagen develops.
Enhanced Microneedling With Targeted Serums
Microneedling can also be paired with a customized serum to further enhance results. Applying the serum during microneedling allows it to reach the freshly created microchannels in the skin. With skin boosting nutrients and growth factors, these serums truly take your results to the next level. It’s a great option for improving uneven texture and reducing the appearance of scarring.
Morpheus8 Scar Treatment
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target scar tissue at multiple depths. Using burst mode, the treatment delivers energy below the skin’s surface to encourage collagen remodeling while also helping improve firmness and overall texture. It can be especially helpful for rolling and boxcar acne scars, stretch marks, and areas of uneven tone. Results develop gradually over a series of treatments as the skin continues to rebuild and renew itself.
Alma ClearLift
Alma ClearLift is a non-ablative fractional laser treatment that delivers energy beneath the surface to stimulate fresh collagen while leaving the outer layer of skin intact. Along with softening the appearance of mild scarring, ClearLift can help refine texture and brighten uneven tone. With minimal downtime, it’s an easy option for anyone who wants to improve their skin without putting their routine on hold.
What About Mastectomy Scars?
Scarring after a mastectomy can be a very personal concern. Once the area has fully healed and your medical team has cleared you for aesthetic treatment, we can suggest a treatment plan that may help soften uneven texture and make surgical scarring less prominent.
No treatment can promise to completely erase a scar, and every scar heals differently. At Lone Star Biogenetics, we can evaluate the type, location, and age of your scarring and recommend an approach that makes sense for your skin. Ready to explore your options?
