Fortunately, you have many different options when dealing with scars that can help minimize their appearance. Be patient and willing to try different options.
Remember, prevention and proper care is best whether treating a scar, wound or dealing with acne.

Available treatments for scar minimization include:
surgical revision
laser treatments
injectable fillers
dermabrasion
chemical peels
topical creams
microneedling treatments
advanced facial skin treatments
