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.

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.
