Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance.

Scars may be noticeable due to their size, shape or location; they can also be raised or depressed, and may differ in color or texture from the surrounding healthy tissue. Stretch marks are a type of scarring that happens after the skin has been enlarged or pulled. 

Scar revision and stretch mark reduction at About Face will attempt to minimize those scars so that it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture. We have a few ways of doing that. Each includes gentle destruction of the stretched or scarred tissue so new, healthy skin can replace it.
