SKIN MediSpa offers a comprehensive Scar Treatment Program including the latest and most effective treatments available today to diminish the appearance of scars. The appearance of all scars can be dramatically improved including those caused by cuts, burns, bites, accidents, surgery, and acne. Keloid, hypertrophic, atrophic (depressed) scars, red and white scars can also be treated with our various technologies and techniques to improve their appearance.

A SKIN specialist will review previous and current skin care, perform a detailed skin analysis, and discuss general health history before recommending a customized treatment program.

The specific treatments required to optimize your cosmetic result will be based on your initial skin assessment and will include some of the following:

• SKIN Vascular Laser Treatment can greatly reduce redness and flatten scars quickly and easily. The procedure takes 15-20 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity.
  
  
• SKIN Fractional Skin Resurfacing SKIN MediSpa introduces the next generation in laser technology that helps improve skin texture through skin resurfacing . This exciting new fractional laser provides the dramatic effects of ablative skin resurfacing without the pain and recovery time associated with older technologies. The laser pulses create tiny ablative zones, targeting the epidermis and upper dermis. The treatment then triggers the body's natural healing process, stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin tissue and diminishing acne scars, wrinkles, lines, and hyperpigmentation.

• SKIN eMatrix™ system with Syneron’s unique Sublative Rejuvenation™ treatment goes beyond fractional methods for skin resurfacing. Sublative Rejuvenation is a non-laser and non-light−based treatment that utilizes RF sublation—fractionated bipolar radio frequency technology—to place the heat energy effectively into the dermis where it can produce significant dermal impact with minimal epidermal disruption.

• SKIN Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)/Radio Frequency Treatment incorporates intense pulse light and radio frequency energies to reduce the redness found in newer scars. These energies also stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of scars. Patients return to regular activity immediately. A series of treatments are required to optimize results.
  
  
• SKIN Steroid Injections reduce redness and flatten scars. Dr. Barr uses a specialized "needleless" injection technique for these. Each procedure takes 20 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity.
  
  
• SKIN Injections of Permanent and Temporary Injectable Fillers act to essentially "fill in" the depressed areas of scars, thereby reducing or completely eliminating the depressions in the skin that has caused the scarred appearance. There are many types of injectable fillers available and Dr. Barr will recommend the type of filler that will maximize the improvement in these areas.
  
  
• SKIN Surgical Scar Revision can be helpful in improving the appearance of some types of scarring that don't respond to other treatments. As an experienced and skilled Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Barr can surgically remove scars with proprietary techniques that will maximize the improvement in the appearance of the area.
  
  
• SKIN Medical Microdermabrasion involves mild abrasion using either salt crystals or diamond tip handoieces to smooth out the skin surface. The procedure takes 30 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activity. A series of treatments will diminish the appearance of mild scarring but will not improve deeper scars.

• SKIN Epidermal Peels contain a unique blend of lactic acid, kojic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, enzymes and other nutrients in various proportions. Application of these special preparations infuse the skin with needed nutrients and active ingredients that cause the upper levels of the epidermis to slough off over the days following the treatment. The procedure takes 20 minutes and patients can immediately return to regular activities. A series of treatments will diminish the appearance of mild scarring but will not improve deeper scars.

• SKIN Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy, when administered pre and post operatively, can greatly reduce the appearance of post surgical scarring, as well as any post operative swelling and/or bruising. Learn more...

Most scars can be dramatically improved. The degree of the improvement is dependent on the characteristics of the scar and treatment methods chosen.
