Question 1

what can be done about indented acne scars on the face?

Accepted Answer

Laser Scar Removal: Using the latest laser technology, the beam of the laser penetrates the pores of the skin, smoothing the deep layers of the skin and improving the skin tone. Unless viewed under the microscope, the miniscule penetration of the laser is not visible to the naked eye. For this reason, there is a very short recovery time, results are immediate, and the skin will heal in a matter of 1 to 3 days.

Question 2

i am wondering how to cure indent scars from face naturally?

Accepted Answer

Get real Rx: I suspect that you are talking about icepick-type acne scars. I am very sorry that your acne was not rx'd scientifically when it should have been, as these could have been prevented easily, and I am especially sorry if a family member's insistence on "natural healing" caused your scarring. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon can make these less visible with fillers, laser, or other techniques.

Question 3

i have a scar on my head

Accepted Answer

From injury?: Scars generally heal on their own, based on hte type of injury which caused these. If there is redness or any discharge, pl get it checked for an active infection, which may need antibiotic prescription. Feel good!

Question 4

how can i remove scars from my face.

Accepted Answer

Scar treatment: Depending on the problem with the scar there are treatments to improve them but nothing will completely remove them. I treat pigmented scars with bbl to lighten them, thick scars with fractional laser to soften them, or bad or wide scars with surgery to cut out the scar and re-sew it a more cosmetically pleasing way. The laser approach requires a series of treatments to be effective--often 5-6.

Question 5

how can you reduce a scar on your head?

Accepted Answer

Can only Improve: You cannot "erase" scars.  Poor scars can be improved through the following methods:

1) scar massage
2) silicone sheeting (a kind of silicone tape you where over the scar)
3) steroid injections
4) laser treatment (helps remove coloring)
5) scar revision (removing the scar and starting over).


Consult with a plastic surgeon to find out which combination of these would best work for you.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

for how long do sugical face scars take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Scar resolution: When our bodies sustain an injury, the immediate response is inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling). This is the body increasing the blood flow and bringing healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. As healing occurs, new tissues fill in that are different than normal and less elastic.  This is a scar.  Over time it will fade in color but always be there.

Question 9

Question 10

after the stiches removed from the face wound when can you put some make up on the scar?

Accepted Answer

Scar and makeup: After an injury that required sutures, the wound is stable enough for makeup after about 15 days. At that point, there is adequate tension across the scar to tolerate gentle manipulation (i.e. application of makeup). Furthermore, you can hide the scar with a makeup called DermaBlend which you can use until the scar has faded a bit
