Deep Rolling Scar



Best treated by lifting the scar.  Scars can be lifted most naturally with a procedure known as subcision.  Another option is using a filler, such as Restylane® or silicone.

/ Wave-like appearance



Shallow Rolling Scar

These scars are not as depressed as deep rolling scars and can therefore be improved by lifting the scar with subcision or filler and can smoothed out with a Fraxel™ laser

/ Minor wave-like appearance



Boxcar Scars

Best treated by Fraxel™ laser.  These scars will also respond to a TCA Cross.

/ Rectangular scars with vertical edges



Raised Papule

These raised scars are most common on the nose and chin and are usually treated by techniques which flatten them.  Laser skin resurfacing with the Erbium:YAG laser is commonly used or radiofrequency ablation.

/ Small bumps



Deep Pit

Depending upon the width and depth, these scars can be treated with
TCA Cross,
excision or Fraxel™ laser.

/ Sharp and deeply indented



Shallow Pit

Best treated by Fraxel™ or TCA Cross.

/Slightly sunken sharp edges



Enlarged Pore

Also known as a superficial pit scar, best treated by the Fraxel™ laser. This is a formerly clogged pore which was never healed.  Enlarged pores can be found on the face, specifically on the central cheeks and around the mouth and nose.

/ Appears as a tiny hole on the face
