Not all wounds form scars, especially if they are only a simple knee scrape or scratch. On the other hand, a deeper wound, especially if it takes longer for your skin to heal, will be more likely to create scar tissue.
After an injury or surgical procedure, proper wound care is vital in preventing the formation of raised, uneven scars and darkened tissue. After sustaining a deep wound, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention and to make sure to have the injury closed quickly. Scar prevention measures tend to be more effective when a wound is still fresh.
During cosmetic surgery like that performed by Dr. Amato, small incisions, laser, and endoscopic surgical methods minimize the risk of scarring. In the unlikely event that scarring does occur, she will provide scar revision treatment, which rejuvenates the skin and restores a smooth and blemish-free surface.
