He has been giving me IPL laser and Pixel laser treatments as well as both red and blue light therapy for inflammation and injecting a very diluted kenelog solution into the scar tissue as this helps it break up and get thinner and softer. He is next probably going to try some Accent treatment on the jawline to help tighten it and rid the jowls that I never had prior to the "lift". I suffered every rare complication in the book from lip paralysis (it came back) to a bad seroma.

Humans heal by forming scar tissue. No scar can be totally eliminated, but they can often be reduced by surgery and occasionally by laser treatment. You need to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine the likelihood of success for your particular scar..

Updated. Back when I originally posted this reply, I made tye decision NOT to get plastic surgery to remove my daughter's pyogenic angioma on her cheek. The scar would've been twice as long as the actual angioma and this was my precious daughter's face. I trusted my gut instinct not to do it and instead do the laser. The first treatment helped it but did not fully eliminate it.

It is best that you have this checked by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist for proper evaluation. Scar revision through surgery and laser treatments may be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.

Please think twice before jumping into a surgery that will undouvtedly leave a scar, since the incision will be 3 times the size of the angioma. Most often, laser treatment will help. Sometimes just the passage of time helps, too.

My daughter wants to get a pretty bad scar fixed to look better since it's keliod and hasn't gotten better with creams or laser treatments. The plastic surgeon wants us to talk to Radiology first to see what they say. The doctor said that she will need radiation treatments after the surgery to keep the scar flat and not become upraised again. One of my concerns is what effect the radiation treatments will cause? Will this affect her fertility at all?

effect, and then follow with a resurfacing laser to feather in the appearance of the scar with the surrounding skin. It is usually best to wait until after puberty as the scars can hyperpigment or keloid in a young child. There are ways to improve scars. I hope this helps.

Silicone scar sheets lke this are often used after scar revision surgery to minimize the risk of problem scarring.

There appears to be more research on scar revision surgery drugs that could improve the prospects of surgery.. In one article I read botox helps to diminish scar formation after revision, as it paralizes the muscles, making sure body motion does not affect the healing process. Another drug, avotermin might be of use in the future.. (there are several links with info about this drug if you google it) http://www.upi.

Dr. Rosenberg is saying there are a few different "modalities" to try (trial) differet types of lasers etc. Try them out on different scars and whichever one works best go w that on the rest of the scars. It may take a process w the lasers over a period of time. I am sure it can be improved, will it ever be perfect flawless skin? Probably not but then who has that if your over age 5? Lol the lasers can help significantly.

You should consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon regarding your scars, but you can definitely get laser scar removal on the penis. I suggest seeing a dermatologist in your area who will likely give you something to apply directly on the scars, and if that doesn't work then a dermatologist can laser the scars away. If a dermatologist doesn't want to do it then a plastic surgeon will.

ve used mederma before on a larger scar, one that is about 3 inches in length and 1/2 cm in width, this one is about 2 years old and I remember using petroleum jelly a few times about 3 weeks after surgery and then switched to mederma for about 3 months, this scar is now flat, soft, white, and a bit 'wrinkly' I'm not upset by the apperance of this scar, although it is in an area that people usually don't notice, but I don't remember this one turning purple either.

I am officially at the end of my rope. 33 yrs ago (age 21) I developed cystic acne. I had really good skin before that time. I am still fighting it, at almost 55 yrs of age, & I am beginning to think there will never be any hope for me looking normal ever again. The worst of it is on my left jawline, where I had a deep scar (actually, a sort of scar pouch under the skin), that has consistently been active all this time.

I had a seizure back in 2014 and did a small number on my forehead resulting in a raised scar with hard tissue (unfortunately a plastic surgeon was not on staff at the hospital). I did all the massaging and sunscreen of course. It bothered me so I had scar revision surgery in 2017 and unfortunately the first time around it didn't go so well. Again I did the massaging and sunscreen with a silicone based gel. The surgeon injected it with a steroid a couple times.
