What Is Comprehensive Scar Management?
Comprehensive Scar Management is an all-encompassing and combination-based medical procedure designed to minimize the appearance of advanced scars and, in some cases, restore function to areas where scars limit movement. Treatments can address a variety of scar types and improve overall skin texture and tone.
How Scar Revision Works
We offer a range of surgical and non-surgical options to reduce scar visibility:
- Surgical Scar Revision: Local anesthesia, often combined with laser therapy or silicone gels for enhanced results.
- Laser Treatments: Lasers such as VBeam®, Genesis, StarWalker®, and Pico target pigmentation and stimulate collagen.
- Injectables: Botox relaxes surrounding muscles, collagen-boosting fillers (Sculptra®, Radiesse®) fill pitted scars, and hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm®, Teosyal®) raise indented scars. PRP promotes healing and collagen production.
- Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive Options: Microneedling, dermabrasion/microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and topical treatments like silicone gels, retinoids, and HA serums.

Frequently Asked Questions
Comprehensive scar management may take up to two hours, depending on the treatment modalities and extent of area involvement.
No, but revision will make the scar less visible. Results vary by scar type and treatment plan.
Not really. Most patients say it’s only mildly uncomfortable. A topical or local anesthetic helps minimize discomfort.
Most patients require three to six sessions over four to six weeks. Once the scar has improved in appearance, Dr. Sapra will advise you on whether further treatments may be needed. Some patients also benefit from periodic maintenance.
There’s no one “best” age for scar revision treatment. Generally, we want the scar to be stable before attempting any revisions.
It’s best to wait until the scar has matured for six to 12 months. Any sooner than that, and the scar may show additional changes in appearance.
Yes. With modern techniques and expert care, even years-old scars can show improvements with scar revision.
