Scars serve an important purpose — to quickly close a wound and prevent infection. Unfortunately, this part of the body’s healing process leaves a mark that stands out from the surrounding skin. Dr. Janine Hopkins, M.D., F.A.A.D., board-certified dermatologist, offers scar revision for men and women in Monroe, Alexandria, Shreveport, the Ark-La-Miss, Southlake, TX and the surrounding areas of Northeast Louisiana.
What is Scar Revision?
The reason that scars are easily detected is that collagen fibers were quickly produced to close a wound. Collagen fibers are an important part of your skin, and when collagen production operates at a normal rate, the fibers develop in a structured pattern. In the case of a wound, though, the fibers develop quickly and without any clear pattern. Therefore, your scar has a different color and texture than the surrounding skin. Scar revision helps to blend the scar in with the natural color.
