Scar Treatment

If you’re dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, or other skin imperfections, advanced scar treatments may be the solution. Triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease, MD, offers expert scar treatments in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas, helping patients achieve smoother, more even skin with personalized care.

What is Scar Treatment?

Scar treatment, often referred to as scar revision, is a process designed to minimize the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and helping them blend seamlessly with the surrounding skin tone and texture. Depending on the type and severity of the scar, treatments can range from simple surface techniques like chemical peels or laser therapy to minimally invasive procedures or surgical revision using advanced wound closure methods.

While scar revision can significantly improve a scar’s appearance, it’s important to note that scars cannot be completely erased. However, these treatments can greatly enhance skin smoothness and restore confidence.

If you’re considering scar treatment in Chattanooga, TN, or the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease provides personalized solutions to help you achieve smoother, more even skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does Scar Treatment Cost in Chattanooga TN?
Currently, the cost for scar reduction or revision at Nease Cosmetic Surgery is $500 per scar treated. Scar revision treatment costs will vary from one case to another, depending on the extent and complexity of the treatment needed to achieve the desired outcome, as well as other contributing variables that may affect the total cost.

Most insurance companies will not cover the cost of cosmetic procedures. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we strive to keep our cosmetic treatments as affordable as possible by offering complimentary consultations along with a variety of payment options, including cash, major credit cards and financing through CareCredit® or Cherry®.
Am I a Good Candidate for Scar Treatment?
Good candidates for scar treatment are healthy adults who don’t smoke or have an active acne outbreak or other skin diseases in the potential treatment area. If this describes you and there’s a scar somewhere on your body that bothers you, you’re probably a good candidate for scar revision treatment.

During the initial consultation, the doctor will help you make sure your expectations are in alignment with what’s possible and if scar revision is your best option to help you achieve your goals. If not, he can help you explore other choices that may serve you better.
What is Scar Treatment Recovery Like?
You may experience some swelling, bruising or discomfort following your scar revision treatment. This can take a week or two to subside. The healing process typically continues for a few weeks, with the new scar slowly refining and eventually fading.

Results are long-lasting, but it could be several months down the road before you see your final results. It can sometimes take up to a year for a new scar to be totally healed and completely fade away. For optimal recovery results, be sure to read and closely follow any post-treatment instructions you may be given following your scar revision procedure.
