Scar Treatment

A scar from the previous trauma/surgery over any region of the body, especially over the face, can be bothering many a time. This causes a psychological impact and can lead to low self-esteem.

Scar revision surgery is an attempt to minimize a scar so that it becomes less conspicuous, less noticeable, and blends with the surrounding skin tone. Scar revision surgery improves the appearance of the scar and restores function, and corrects any disfigurement associated with the scar. And in turn, results in improved self-esteem and body image.
