Comprehensive Scar Revision Los Gatos & San Jose

While many blemishes can be addressed with non-surgical treatments and therapies, more significant scars may require a surgical approach. Scar revision is a specialized surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars that are noticeable, bothersome, or a source of self-consciousness.

Dr. Liu offers comprehensive scar revision in Los Gatos, helping to reduce the visibility of scars from past injuries or surgeries. The goal of scar revision is to minimize the scar so that it blends more naturally with the surrounding skin, restoring your confidence and providing a smoother, more refined appearance.

During a consultation, our team will evaluate your scar and discuss the most effective treatment plan, whether it's a surgical revision or a non-surgical therapy.

When should I start scar therapy after surgery?

Scar therapy typically begins once the incision has fully closed and your surgeon has cleared you for topical treatments. Starting at the appropriate time helps optimize healing and improve long-term scar appearance.

Can scar therapy prevent keloid or raised scars?

Yes. Silicone-based treatments like bioCorneum®+ are specifically designed to help prevent abnormal scar formation, including hypertrophic and keloid scars, by regulating moisture and collagen production during healing.

How long should I use silicone gel for scar treatment?

Most patients are advised to use silicone gel consistently for at least 2 to 3 months, though longer use may be recommended depending on the severity and location of the scar.

Scar revision can significantly improve the appearance of a scar, but it cannot completely erase it. Results are long-lasting, and the revised scar typically heals in a more refined and less noticeable way.
