Scar Symptoms and Signs

A scar consists of tight fibrous tissue on the skin that is red-purple in color or has turned to a silvery color over time, and over time it appears lighter and flatter.

Nowadays, scar reduction can be achieved surgically as well as with energy-based applications such as lasers and radiofrequency, with steroid injections, enzymatic scar reduction, or stem cell injections, thereby eliminating the unsightly appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is scar treatment and which methods are used?

Scar treatment aims to reduce the appearance of scars on the skin. Laser treatment, microneedling (Dermapen), chemical peels, cortisone injections, silicone-based creams or fillers can be used to reduce the prominence of scars. The treatment method is determined according to the type of scars and skin structure.

How long does it take to see treatment results?

Treatment results vary depending on the individual and the method used. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within a few weeks, but 3-6 sessions may be required for more pronounced results. The post-treatment process requires patience and continuity.

Is scar treatment painful?

Since local anesthetic creams are usually used during treatment, pain is minimal. Methods such as laser and microneedling may cause mild discomfort, but most people can tolerate this process easily.

Are there any side effects of the treatment?

After the procedure, mild redness, swelling or tenderness may be observed on the skin. These side effects usually resolve spontaneously within a few days. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a specialist physician.

Can all types of scars be treated?

Most scars (such as pitted scars, raised hypertrophic scars and keloids) can be treated, but complete removal is usually not possible. With treatment, the appearance of scars can be greatly reduced and the skin can be smoother. The success of treatment depends on the depth and type of scars and the individual's skin structure.
