Scars are a part of the natural skin repair process where fibrous tissue replaces normal, healthy skin. The appearance of scars diminishes over time, and most become virtually invisible. Unfortunately, thick, raised, or indented scars can make you feel embarrassed, self-conscious, and can even be painful. Calabasas Dermatology Center\u00a0in Calabasas, CA,\u00a0offers treatments to reduce the appearance of unsightly scars<\/a>, including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, fat transfers, and laser scar removal.<\/p>\n

What Causes a Scar?<\/h2>\n

Scarring can occur after any type of skin injury ranging from surgery to chicken pox and everyday cuts and abrasions. One of the most common causes of facial scarring is severe acne during adolescence or young adulthood. Acne scars can remain<\/a> long after the acne has resolved. This type of scarring can often be minimized with the help of various acne scar treatments.<\/p>\n

The more serious the skin injury, the more likely it is you will develop a scar and the longer it will take for it to heal. Most scars respond well to treatment. A dermatologist will recommend the appropriate treatment method for you based on the type, depth, and cause of your scar.<\/p>\n
