Scar Revision in Venice, FL
What Is Scar Revision?
Scar revision is a treatment designed to reduce the visibility of scars and improve the overall look and texture of the skin. Scars can form after surgery, injuries, acne, or other skin conditions, and while they may fade over time, some remain noticeable. At REJUVA
Dermatology, our dermatologists use a variety of advanced methods—such as laser therapy, microneedling, and minor surgical techniques—to smooth, soften, and blend scars so they appear less visible.
Who Is Best for This Treatment?
Scar revision is ideal for people who have healed scars that affect their appearance or confidence. The best candidates are those with scars that have fully matured, are in good general health, and understand that the goal is improvement—not complete removal. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan suited to your scar type and skin tone.
What Is the Downtime?
Recovery time depends on the treatment method. Laser and microneedling sessions typically have minimal downtime, with mild redness or swelling lasting a few days. Surgical scar revision may require a short healing period of about one to two weeks. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth and comfortable recovery.
How Long Do Results Last?
The improvements from scar revision are long-lasting. Results continue to develop over several months as the skin produces new collagen and remodels itself. Once healed, the enhanced texture and tone are generally permanent, though some individuals may choose maintenance treatments for the best outcome.
Side Effects
You might notice temporary side effects like slight redness, swelling, or tenderness where you were treated. Occasionally, slight pigment changes can occur but usually fade over time. Our dermatologists take every precaution to minimize side effects and ensure safe, effective care for all skin types.
When Can I Resume Normal Activities?
Most patients can go back to their usual routines within one to two days after non-invasive procedures. If minor surgery is performed, you may need a few extra days of recovery. To heal properly and maintain your results, minimize sun exposure and adhere to the post-treatment care guidelines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can older scars be treated?
Yes. Even scars that are several years old can often be improved with the right approach.
Will my scar completely disappear?
While the scar may not vanish entirely, it can become much less noticeable and blend naturally with surrounding skin.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by scar type. Some people see results after one treatment, while others need a few sessions for the best results.
Does scar revision hurt?
Most treatments involve minimal discomfort. Numbing options are available to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Can this help with acne scars?
Yes. Acne scars respond well to treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, or chemical peels.
What kinds of scars can be improved?
We treat various types, including raised, flat, indented, and discolored scars caused by acne, injury, or surgery.
How soon after injury can I consider treatment?
It’s best to wait until the scar has matured—usually around six months—so your dermatologist can evaluate it accurately.
Is this covered by insurance?
Insurance generally doesn’t cover scar revision since it’s typically considered cosmetic, not medically essential.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. Our dermatologists use technology and techniques that are safe for all skin colors and types.
How can I maintain my results?
Protect your skin from the sun, use gentle skincare, and follow your dermatologist’s advice for lasting improvement.
