What's the best way to reduce scarring?

Improving scars: There is no simple answer to this question. Scars can be improved in a number of fashions including the use of certain topical agents like silicone gel sheeting certain topical steroids or steroid injections. However deeper scars may require intervention such as fractional or other laser resurfacing and dermabrasion. One should see their doctor to determine the best options.

Many options: Scars mature and can continue to improve for up to a year. They are sun-sensitive and may become hyperpigmented with sun exposure. The best way to treat a scar depends on the scar. Options include silicone gel, silicone sheeting, use of filler (for spot or crater-like scars), laser therapy, hydroquinone, dermabrasion, or kenalog (triamcinolone) injection, or surgical scar revision. See your plastic surgeon.
