It is of utmost importance to understand that no matter what technique is used it is not possible to eliminate scars completely.

The best outcomes are scar reduction, reduction in scar pigmentation, flattening of elevated scars or conversion of broad scars into a thin line. Dr. Mrinalini Sharma counsels each patient about the type of treatment suited to each scar and also about the best endpoints achievable.

Depressed scars can also be improved and camouflaged with the use of fillers or fat grafting. Another surgical method of scar treatment, especially suited for facial scars is the use of techniques which re-orient scars along existing facial lines and creases making them less easily noticeable.

Hyperpigmentation or darkening of scars. These are also treatable, albeit not completely with LASERS and chemical peels. More often than not, a combination of treatments is used. Another form of scarring is keloid or hypertrophic scars which are areas of raised, unsightly and dark coloured and occur at the site of an injury or burns. They can also be managed by various modalities like intralesional injections, skin grafting and resurfacing with LASERS. This often requires multiple sessions before results are satisfactory.
