Scar Reduction in Winston-Salem

Our nonsurgical procedures perform 3 main functions for optimal scar reduction in Winston-Salem:

• Tissue reduction. Treatments that promote cell turnover can lessen the amount of scar tissue residing above the general level of the surrounding skin.
• Depression reduction. Scarring that causes indents/depressions in the skin can be reduced by the plumping effects of certain treatments.
• Collagen production. Many treatments also boost the body’s natural collagen production, improving the hydration and elasticity of skin.

In Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and across the North Carolina Triad, our nonsurgical treatments for scarring can last from a few weeks to several years. During your initial consultation, we’ll examine the scars you wish to be treated and recommend the best treatment or treatment combination for your skin, your lifestyle, your budget, and your scar type.

The truth of the matter is: No treatment will completely remove scarring. Even a plastic surgeon creates new scars to remove the old ones. However, the scar reduction treatments at Restoration MedSpa can reduce their appearance to such a degree that you can feel confident wearing what you want without worry.

The general answer is any adult 18 or older can have scar reduction treatments. Some treatments are more restrictive than others, and your Restoration MedSpa provider will go over all details—including your medical history—before finalizing the choice(s) on best treatment(s).

Depending on the treatment, some common contraindications can include:

• A compromised immune system
• Regular ingestion of blood thinners
• Psoriasis/skin irritation in the treatment area
• Tendency for keloid scarring
• Current active acne outbreak
• Current use of acne medication containing isotretinoin
