Scar Treatment (Traumatic or Surgical) in San Diego
Scars are depressions or indentations in the skin that occur after a traumatic injury or after a surgical incision. Injury scars form as the body heals itself from traumatic impact that has broken the skin. Surgical scars, meanwhile, form naturally as skin heals from an incision. Treatment of scars requires both the removal of damaged skin and the production of new collagen to improve the area’s tone and texture.
At FACESplus in San Diego, we know that scars can be an unpleasant reminder of past injury or surgery, especially when they’re on your face or other visible areas. Please feel free to click on any of the treatments that interest you for additional information.
Fraxel re:store Laser
Fraxel re:store treatments are FDA-approved to safely and gently reduce the appearance of moderate to severe scars. Unlike other procedures, Fraxel re:store removes damaged skin on the surface and reaches deep into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling. In this way, Fraxel re:store improves the elasticity, texture and tone of your damaged skin. The downtime from a Fraxel re:store session is minimal, usually only a day or two. Fraxel re:store stimulates new cell growth while addressing scarred areas and leaving healthy skin intact.

Fraxel re:pair Laser
Fraxel re:pair treatments, like Fraxel re:store, are FDA-approved to safely and gently reduce the appearance of more severe scars. Fraxel re:pair removes damaged skin on the surface and reaches deep into the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling. In this way, Fraxel re:pair improves the elasticity, texture and tone of your damaged skin. In many cases, only a single Fraxel re:pair session is necessary. Because Fraxel re:pair is so effective on highly damaged skin, it is a more aggressive treatment, requiring a week or so of downtime as well as post-procedure wound care. Fraxel re:pair also stimulates new cell growth while addressing scarred areas and leaving healthy skin intact.

Laser Genesis
Laser Genesis is a safe, discrete and effective treatment for scarring. Laser Genesis heats the upper dermis well below the surface of your skin, stimulating the regrowth of collagen. Results tend to be subtle yet consistent after each treatment. Four or five treatments are usually enough to give you clearer, smoother skin. After Laser Genesis treatment, there are no embarrassing or painful side effects, such as skin irritation or bruising. Treatments are so gentle, they can be performed without topical gels or anesthetics.
