Scar Treatment
Scar treatment involves various methods and techniques aimed at minimizing the appearance of scars on the skin. These treatments can range from topical creams to procedures like laser therapy and dermabrasion. The goal of scar treatment is to improve the texture, color, and overall visibility of scars, whether they are caused by injuries, surgeries, acne, or other skin conditions. By promoting skin regeneration, reducing inflammation, and encouraging collagen production, scar treatments strive to enhance the skin’s appearance and boost self-confidence.

Dos & Don’ts – Before Treatment
Dos & Don’ts – Before Treatment
Arrive with a clean face free of makeup to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Additionally, it’s recommended to avoid using skin irritating substances like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliants 3-5 days before your appointment, as these products can increase skin sensitivity during the treatment and potentially lead to discomfort.
Daily use of sunscreen is highly advised to protect your skin, and it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure before the treatment to prevent any adverse reactions.
If undergoing microneedling with or without RF, refrain from wearing makeup or tinted sunscreen for 24 hours post-treatment, change linens, and avoid touching the treated area to promote proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
Dos & Don’ts – After Treatment
