What is it?

A scar is formed of soft, fibrous connective tissue comprised of robust protein fibers (collagen) and cells (fibroblasts). Despite requiring some time to mend, a scar diligently works to cover and repair a wound, cut, incision, or burn on the skin's surface. A scar can emerge anywhere on the body and can be flat, pigmented, lumpy, elevated, or indented into the skin.

If you're considering removing or diminishing the visibility of scars, the Clarkston Dermatology team is specially trained to assist with various treatments and services.

What to expect

Clarkston Dermatology can treat recent scars with prescription salves, creams or gels. These treatments can help prevent additional discomfort or itching. Depending on the intensity, age, and hue of your scar(s), we also offer in-clinic treatments such as laser scar revision, needling, excision procedures or corticosteroid injections.

If you're interested in treatments that lessen the visibility of scars, schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified providers in Clarkston and Oxford, Michigan.
