Thisprocedure may remove superficial scars altogether and reduces deeper scars.Chemical Peeling - depending on the scar, your doctor will apply a mild chemical peel on theaffected skin. This slowly peels away the old skin and brings in fresh skin. Mild scars can betreated with chemical peels.Laser Therapy- lasers of different types are used by the doctor to give a new shape to the scarredskin by recontouring the scars. The high burst of laser may leave the skin red for sometime.Soft Tissue Filling- Collagen that may be bovine in source or patients own may be injected belowthe scar to lift the skin and give a smooth appearance. As the injected collagen gets absorbed inthe body over a period, further treatments may be needed after about six months. Similarly fat maybe injected below deep scars for giving a lift to the skin. Similar to collagen filling, fat injectionsmay need to be repeated after some months. Your doctor will advise you about that.
