Do Scars Really go away?

Scars are a natural part of skin healing—but you don’t have to live with them. From acne to surgery marks, there are clinically proven treatments that significantly reduce their appearance. Read on to find the best option for your skin.

1. Laser Scar Treatment

Best For: Acne, surgical, trauma, or burn scars

Focused light energy stimulates collagen and remodels scar tissue.

  • Fractional CO2 Laser – deep scars, resurfacing
  • Pulsed Dye Laser – red or raised scars
  • Erbium Laser – mild scars, minimal downtime

2. Microneedling

Best For: Acne scars, stretch marks, uneven texture

Tiny micro-injuries boost collagen and smoothen skin. Often paired with PRP.

3. Chemical Peels

Best For: Pigmented or mild acne scars

Exfoliation reveals fresh skin beneath and fades discoloration.

  • Glycolic Acid – gentle exfoliation
  • Salicylic Acid – acne?prone skin
  • TCA – medium-depth for deeper scars

4. Corticoster0id Injections

Best For: Keloid and hypertrophic scars

Reduces inflammation and flattens raised scars over time. Multiple visits often needed.

5. Silicone Gel or Sheets

Best For: New scars, surgical or burn scars

Flattens, softens, and lightens scars safely. Ideal for home use.

6. Medical Grade Scar Creams

Best For: Mild scars, pigmentation

Ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C, and onion extract offer gradual improvement—stronger formulas work best.

7. Surgical Scar Revision

Best For: Large, deep scars unresponsive to other therapies

Scar tissue is removed and re-closed with refined technique. Often followed by laser or injections.
