The scar revision healing process will depend upon the scar, location, and your body’s healing abilities. While healing may take up to 1-2 weeks, you may experience swelling that obscures your results, which should resolve over the next few weeks or months. In some cases, new scars may take a year to fully heal and fade.
By using the silicone gel products available in the Scar Kit as directed by Dr. MacDonald, you can help minimize the appearance of your scars. As with any treatment, it is important to thoroughly follow all post-procedural instructions regarding activities, cleansing, and sun exposure to ensure optimal results from your scar revision in Vancouver.
