Scars may be a reminder of past experiences, but they don't have to be permanent. At Pacific Crest Dermatology, we specialize in scar revision treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars, blending them seamlessly with your natural skin. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, keloids, or hypertrophic scars, we customize each treatment to help you achieve smoother, more even skin.
Treatment Options May Include:
✔️ UltraClear Laser – Resurfaces scars, improving overall texture and tone
✔️ Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – Targets redness and discoloration in scars
✔️ Microneedling – Stimulates collagen to enhance texture and tone
✔️ Steroid Injections – Flattens raised scars, particularly effective for keloids

What to Expect:
Every scar is unique, which is why we begin with a personalized consultation to assess your scar type, skin characteristics, and desired results. Treatment sessions vary from 15 minutes to an hour and may require multiple visits to achieve optimal results.
You can expect noticeable improvements in texture, color, and overall appearance within weeks to months, with gradual enhancement as collagen rebuilds and heals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of scars can be treated? We treat a wide variety of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, keloids, hypertrophic scars, and trauma-related scars. Each scar type requires a tailored approach, and we customize treatment plans based on your unique needs.
1
How many treatments will I need to see results? The number of treatments varies depending on the type of scar, the treatment method, and your skin's response. Most patients require multiple sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, for optimal results. We’ll discuss a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
2
Are the results permanent? While scar revision treatments can significantly improve the appearance of scars, results may not be permanent, especially for certain types of scars like keloids. Ongoing treatments may be necessary to maintain improvements, particularly for more stubborn or deep scars.
3
Will my scar disappear completely after treatment? While we can greatly improve the appearance of scars, it is important to set realistic expectations. Scar revision aims to make scars less noticeable and more in harmony with your skin tone and texture, but complete removal of scars may not be possible.
4
Will I need to avoid sun exposure after treatment? Yes, sun exposure should be avoided after scar revision treatments to prevent irritation and hyperpigmentation. Always apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, and we’ll provide more specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment.
