Scar Removal
While scars initially form as a self-protective mechanism in response to a wound, after they heal they can cause cosmetic – as well as functional – problems. The removal and revision of scars can offer a significant change in quality of life for many patients. Scars can be physically debilitating, interfering with the normal range of motion. They can also have a serious effect on one’s social outlook and sense of confidence in facing the world, especially if the scars appear on the face or hands where they cause a major distraction.
