Whether from injury, surgery, burns or acne, scarring is the body’s natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin.

Sometimes scars can restrict movement or function and often cause emotional stress about one’s appearance.
Fortunately, there a number of dermatologic treatments that can improve the appearance of scars, even restore functionality.
An ASDS dermatologist is an expert in scar revision and can discuss with you which of these therapies would be most appropriate for your skin color, your age and your type of scarring. These include photodynamic therapy, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, fractional resurfacing, subcision, dermabrasion, non-ablative laser treatment, fillers and Fraxel laser therapy.
