Scar treatment
Scar Treatment
Scar Treatment is one of the important skin correction treatments available at our clinic. The treatment is designed to improve the appearance of scars caused by acne, injuries, burns, cuts, surgery, chickenpox, or skin infections. It helps reduce scar visibility, improve skin texture, and make the skin look smoother and more even.
Scars can form when the skin heals after damage or inflammation. Depending on the depth of the injury and the healing response of the skin, scars may appear as dark marks, raised scars, depressed scars, uneven patches, or rough skin texture. Acne scars are especially common and may affect the cheeks, forehead, chin, and jawline. Scar Treatment helps improve the damaged skin area by encouraging skin repair and improving the overall appearance of the affected region.
Scar Treatment is not a one-time solution for all patients because every scar is different. The type of scar, depth, age of the scar, skin type, and healing capacity of the patient are important factors in deciding the right treatment plan. At Ziva Skin and Hair Center, our dermatologist examines the scar carefully and recommends a suitable treatment approach based on the condition of your skin.
How long does Scar Treatment result last?
The results of Scar Treatment depend on the type of scar, severity, treatment method used, number of sessions, skin type, and aftercare followed by the patient. Some scars may show visible improvement within a few sessions, while deeper or older scars may require multiple sessions for better results.
Scar improvement is usually gradual. The skin needs time to heal, repair, and produce new collagen. At Ziva Skin and Hair Center, our dermatologist will guide you on the expected improvement, number of sessions required, and maintenance care based on your scar condition.
Who is suitable for Scar Treatment?
Scar Treatment is suitable for patients who wish to improve the appearance of scars and uneven skin texture. It may be recommended for people with acne scars, injury scars, surgical scars, burn scars, chickenpox scars, and dark marks left after skin inflammation.
We are often asked who should consider Scar Treatment. This treatment is commonly recommended for:
Acne scars
Pimple marks
Depressed scars
Raised scars
Surgical scars
Injury scars
Burn scars
Chickenpox scars
Uneven skin texture
Dark marks after acne or infection
Rough and damaged skin surface
However, every patient’s skin is different. If you have active acne, skin infection, open wounds, severe sensitivity, rashes, or a tendency to develop keloids, it is important to consult the dermatologist before undergoing the treatment.
What will the treatment involve?
Scar Treatment at Ziva Skin and Hair Center begins with a detailed skin examination. The dermatologist will assess the type of scar, depth, skin texture, pigmentation, and overall skin condition. Based on this evaluation, a suitable treatment plan will be recommended.
The treatment may involve procedures such as laser treatment, microneedling, chemical peels, subcision, medical creams, injections, or a combination approach depending on the type of scar. Depressed acne scars may require treatments that stimulate collagen formation, while dark marks may need pigmentation correction. Raised scars may require a different treatment plan to flatten and soften the scar tissue.
The procedure and session duration depend on the treatment method selected. Some treatments may take a few minutes, while others may take longer depending on the area and severity of the scars.
Is Scar Treatment safe?
Scar Treatment is generally safe when performed by a qualified dermatologist using the right technique and suitable treatment settings. Since scars vary from person to person, proper diagnosis is very important before starting treatment.
At Ziva Skin and Hair Center, the treatment is planned after understanding your skin type, scar type, medical history, and healing pattern. This helps reduce the risk of irritation, pigmentation, and other unwanted effects. Patients with sensitive skin, active infections, keloid tendency, or ongoing skin medication should always inform the dermatologist before the treatment.
Does Scar Treatment hurt?
The level of discomfort during Scar Treatment depends on the procedure performed. Some treatments such as creams or mild peels may cause minimal discomfort, while procedures like laser, microneedling, or subcision may cause mild to moderate pricking, warmth, or pressure.
To make the treatment more comfortable, numbing cream may be applied before certain procedures. Most patients tolerate scar treatment well. If you are sensitive to pain or anxious about the procedure, our dermatologist will guide you and take the necessary steps to improve your comfort.
What happens after Scar Treatment?
After Scar Treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, sensitive, or swollen depending on the procedure performed. Mild dryness, peeling, or temporary darkening may also occur in some patients. These effects are usually part of the healing process and settle with proper aftercare.
At Ziva Skin and Hair Center, our dermatologist will advise you to avoid harsh scrubs, direct sun exposure, steam, sauna, and strong skincare products for a few days after the treatment. Sunscreen should be used regularly because treated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight.
Scar improvement takes time, and results usually appear gradually over multiple sessions. Following the dermatologist’s aftercare instructions is important for safe healing and better results.
What are the possible side effects?
Scar Treatment may have mild and temporary side effects depending on the type of procedure performed. Some patients may experience redness, swelling, dryness, peeling, mild pain, temporary pigmentation, sensitivity, or minor scabbing after the session.
If you are worried about side effects, it is always better to choose a professional skin care clinic where the treatment is performed under dermatologist supervision. At Ziva Skin and Hair Center, the treatment is planned according to your skin type and scar condition to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
Who should not use Scar Treatment?
If you are considering Scar Treatment, you should always book a consultation with Ziva Skin and Hair Center. There are certain conditions where the treatment may need to be delayed or avoided.
You may be advised not to undergo Scar Treatment if:
You have an active skin infection
You have open wounds or cuts in the treatment area

You have recently undergone laser, peel, or other skin procedures
You are using strong peeling creams or certain skin medications
