Acne Scar and Surgical Scar Treatments

Acne Scar and Surgical Scar Treatments - New York City, Manhattan

Scars are depressions or indentations in the skin that occur after a medical condition such as acne or after a surgical incision. Especially when they're on the face or other visible areas, scars can carry the stigma of adolescent acne long after the acne is gone, or they can serve as unpleasant reminders of a past surgery.

Surgical or common scars can also be result of surgery, wounds, burns, or other form of skin abrasions.

Acne scars can occur as the skin heals from pimples, whiteheads and blackheads that form when oil, bacteria and dead cells get stuck below the skin's surface. Acne scars are typically indented marks or raised, red areas that sometimes give the skin a wavy appearance. Surgical scars, meanwhile, form naturally as skin heals from an incision.

At StudioMD we prefer to use the following two key methods for treatment, reduction or elminitation of scars, whether they are caused by wounds, surgery, or acne.
