What is Self-Harm Scar Treatment?
Self-harm scars, while no longer medically active, often leave behind long-term changes in the skin's texture, pigmentation, and visibility. Treatment focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance of these scars through resurfacing, pigment blending, and collagen remodeling. Most protocols involve either laser therapy or surgical revision, depending on the scar’s characteristics.
Surgical scar revision may be recommended for deep, tethered, or wide scars that cannot be improved significantly with lasers alone. These procedures typically involve:
All surgical scar revisions are performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.
Laser treatment is the first-line option for most self-harm scars due to its non-invasive nature and effectiveness across scar types. At Nazarian Plastic Surgery, we have over 30 lasers and devices.
Treatment modality is chosen based on the scar’s location, age, texture, and color.
