Scar Reduction

Cultura's approach to treating scars is called Scar RejuvenationTM and like most treatment regimens performed at Cultura, it involves an integrated approach combining lasers with topical and prescription products.

Scars can appear anywhere on the body. Patients come to Cultura requesting that a certain scar or mark on the body be eliminated or reduced in appearance. The most common types of scars that our patients request treatments for include:

• Acne Scars
• Surgical Scars
• Hypertrophic
• Keloids
• Scars Caused by Trauma
• Stretch marks

Scars appear either as a raised scar, an indentation, or as a reddish, white or dark mark on the skin. Depending upon the placement on the body, scars can troublesome and embarrassing.

Dr. Battle and his staff of skin experts at Cultura Dermatology and Laser Center provide effective cosmetic dermatological treatments for scar reduction for patients who are bothered by such scars. Lasers can tighten collagen and thus reduce the size, height and width of raised scars. Lasers can stimulate pigment to darken light scars and reduce pigment to lighten dark scars. Lasers can stimulate the production of more collagen, like adding air to a balloon, pushing out indented scars and improving the scar's texture.

The team at Cultura Dermatology and Laser Center uses a line of specialized lasers to reduce the appearance of scars on all skin colors and skin types, regardless of ethnicity, skin color or age of the scar. Patients are able to improve the way their skin looks and remove or reduce embarrassing scars from their body through the use of laser and other treatments.

Laser devices that can be used to reduce the appearance of scars are:

• Palomar Fractional
• CoolTouch
• Fraxel Duel
• CO2
• Fraxel re:pair
• Fraxel CO2
• Fractional CO2
• Pearl
• IPL
• Genesis

In addition to lasers, Dr. Battle recommends at-home treatments to combat scars such as prescription creams and in-office treatments such as kenalog steroid injections, dermabrasion, needle stippling, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. Combined with laser therapy, patients will notice dramatic results in the reduction of the appearance of their scars. A combination of treatments is ideal for getting noticeable results in a shorter period of time, and can be the fastest way to attain beautiful, smoother skin.
