Scars

Reduce the appearance of scars with our advanced scar treatments.

Transform Your Skin

Scars can serve as constant reminders of past injuries, surgeries, or skin conditions like acne, affecting your confidence and self-esteem. Neem Medical Spa emphasizes a holistic approach, meaning we understand how physical imperfections like scars can impact your emotional well-being and daily life. Dr. Rosy Sandhu and her experienced team offer state-of-the-art treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars and improve your skin’s texture, supporting you on your journey toward clear, smooth skin.

Understanding Scars

Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process, forming when the skin repairs itself after an injury such as an accident, surgery, or severe acne. They can vary widely in appearance, depending on factors like the cause of the injury, its size and depth, location on the body, and individual healing processes. Scars may be flat, raised (hypertrophic or keloid), sunken (atrophic), or discolored, ranging from subtle to quite pronounced.

Types of Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound and can become red and inflamed.
Keloid scars are more severe raised scars that extend beyond the original wound’s edges and can grow over time.
Atrophic scars are sunken scars often resulting from conditions like acne or chickenpox.
Contracture scars are typically associated with burns and can tighten the skin, potentially impairing movement.
Discolored scars may be hyperpigmented (darker than surrounding skin) or hypopigmented (lighter).

Scars can profoundly impact one’s appearance, self-confidence, and emotional well-being. Many individuals with noticeable scars feel self-conscious or even stigmatized, affecting their social interactions and quality of life. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 53.5% of individuals have at least one scar on their body, highlighting how common this issue is.

Treating Scars

At Neem Medical Spa, we understand the profound impact scars can have on your self-esteem and overall appearance. Dr. Rosy Sandhu and our skilled team offer a range of advanced treatments designed to improve the appearance of scars and restore smoother, more even skin. Our personalized approach ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to your needs and skin type. Whether your scars result from acne, surgery, or an injury, we are committed to providing solutions that restore your skin’s natural beauty and boost your confidence. Treating scars at Neem includes the following options:

Fraxel Dual

This laser treatment uses fractional laser technology to resurface the skin, targeting deep layers to stimulate collagen production and smooth out scar tissue. Fraxel Dual is effective for treating a variety of scars, including acne and surgical scars.

SkinPen

A microneedling device that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, SkinPen stimulates the body’s natural healing process to produce collagen and elastin, reducing the appearance of scars and improving skin texture.

Resurfx Lumenis

This non-ablative fractional laser treatment targets scar tissue without damaging the surrounding skin. Resurfx promotes collagen production and skin remodeling, leading to a significant reduction in scar appearance.

Are Scar Treatments Right for Me?

If you frequently stare at your scars in the mirror, obsessively cover them with makeup or clothing, or avoid social events and photos because of them, you’re not alone. Scars can be a persistent source of discomfort and self-consciousness, impacting your daily life and confidence. Ideal candidates for our scar treatments at Neem Medical Spa are those seeking non-surgical solutions to minimize the visibility of their scars. Our tailored approaches can make a significant difference if your scars are from acne, surgery, or injury.

We recommend scheduling your consultation if you're considering treatment for your scars. During this personalized consultation, Dr. Sandhu will carefully inspect your scar(s) and listen to your concerns and aesthetic goals. This assessment will allow her to develop a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired outcomes. With a focus on both physical and emotional well-being, our goal is to restore your skin’s appearance, confidence, and peace of mind.

The Scar Treatment Process What to Expect

At Neem Medical Spa, we provide a detailed and personalized approach to treating scars. Once your consultation is complete, we will understand your goals and concerns, the condition of your scar, and which approach best suits your needs. The exact process you can expect depends on which treatment you receive. Here’s what you can anticipate from our advanced treatments:

Fraxel Dual: This laser treatment involves targeting the scar tissue with fractional laser beams to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and involves some discomfort that can be managed with topical anesthetics.
SkinPen: The microneedling procedure uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. The session usually lasts about 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Resurfx Lumenis: This non-ablative laser treatment targets scar tissue, stimulating collagen production without damaging the surrounding skin. The treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities soon after.

Recovery and Results

Neem Medical Spa’s scar treatments are minimally invasive, making recovery equally straightforward. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately following procedures such as Fraxel Dual, SkinPen, and Resurfx Lumenis. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the treatment site, which typically subsides within a few days.

The transformative results of treatments like Fraxel Dual and Resurfx Lumenis appear over several weeks as the skin rejuvenates, thanks to stimulated collagen production. These advanced technologies effectively target scar tissue, leading to smoother, more even skin texture and tone.

Attending follow-up appointments, as recommended by our team at Neem Medical Spa, is crucial to optimizing and prolonging your results. A consistent skincare regimen that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection will help your skin health. Following our guidance, you can enjoy sustained improvements in your skin’s appearance and feel confident in your revitalized complexion.
