Facial scars from acne, injuries, or surgery can impact more than just appearance—they often affect confidence and quality of life. Fortunately, advanced dermatology treatments offer effective options for reducing facial scars and restoring smoother skin.
At Aventura Dermatology in Aventura, FL, care is led by Dr. Bertha Baum, a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon with specialized training from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She is a published researcher and active member of the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. Dr. Baum is recognized for delivering personalized care and advanced scar treatments that help patients achieve long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What Causes Facial Scarring?
Scarring is a normal part of the skin’s healing process, though not all scars diminish independently. Some remain raised, discolored, or indented, especially when the skin has experienced:
- Severe acne that leads to inflamed cysts or nodules
- Surgical incisions that heal improperly or with excessive scar tissue
- Accidents or injuries such as cuts, abrasions, or blunt trauma
- Burns or infections that damage deeper layers of skin
The location, type, and depth of a scar affect how noticeable it is—and how well it responds to treatment. Early intervention and professional dermatologic care can significantly improve outcomes.
Facial Scar Reduction: What Are Your Options?
The right treatment depends on your skin type, scar type, and personal goals. Dr. Baum can assess your skin and recommend a custom plan. Common scar reduction treatments include:
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy gently removes damaged layers of skin using light energy, helping your body rebuild healthy tissue. This technique is ideal for minimizing discoloration, evening out skin tone, and smoothing rough or raised scarred areas over time.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate healing and boost natural collagen production. It is especially effective for treating acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture, with minimal downtime and visible improvements.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels involve the application of medical-grade solutions that exfoliate the outer skin layers, encouraging cell turnover and revealing healthier skin. They can help reduce the appearance of shallow scars, sun damage, and discoloration.
Injectable Treatments
For depressed or pitted scars, dermal fillers can be carefully injected to lift the scar to the level of the surrounding skin, offering immediate visual improvement. Results are natural-looking and can last for several months or longer.
