Scars (Facial and Body)

Visible scars on the face or body can leave you feeling self-conscious and embarrassed. Perhaps you’re wondering how to improve scars and regain better-looking skin and improved confidence.

Why do scars form?

A scar forms naturally as the body heals and replaces lost or damaged skin. Consisting mainly of fibrous tissue, scars can develop for various reasons. They include; infections, injuries, or tissue inflammation, and may appear anywhere on the face or body.

Scars can have different compositions, appearing flat, raised, depressed, or pigmented, while some scars can cause discomfort or itchiness, most present with little or no discomfort at all.

How to minimize facial and body scars

Options for minimizing the appearance of scars depend on several factors, including;

Your age, overall well-being, and medical history
The extent and symptoms of the scar
The nature and position of the scar
Your capacity to endure particular medications, procedures, or therapies
Anticipations regarding the progression of the condition
Your viewpoints or choices

While scars usually fade over time and makeup can help cover them during healing, certain cosmetic treatments can improve their appearance. However, it’s important to know that treatment may only improve the appearance of a scar; it may not erase it permanently.

If you have an unwanted scar and wish to make it less visible, Our team at Gilded Leaf MedSpa can help. We provide a range of non-invasive treatments that reduce the appearance of scarring and promote new skin growth.
