A scar is healing that left a mark

Scars are part of the body’s natural healing process. A scar results from the biologic process of skin tissue repairing itself, along with other tissues. The majority of wounds, except for minor ones, result in some degree of scarring.

At Crave Med Spa we have a variety of procedures and products that can soften the look of your scars, or help with the elimination of scar tissue. Speak to one of our experts about creating a regimen to decrease their appearance.

What to expect

Most scars are softened rather than erased. How far we can go depends on the depth of the original injury, where it sits on the body, and your age, genes and skin type — which is why we build a regimen rather than book a single treatment.

Four origins, one repair process

Scars can result from diseases, accidents, skin conditions such as acne, or from surgeries. What caused the damage — and how deep it went — shapes how the scar looks and which treatments will help.

  • 01

    Skin conditions

    Acne is the most common of these. Deeper, inflamed breakouts are the ones that tend to leave a mark behind.

  • 02

    Accidents

    Cuts, burns and grazes. The depth and size of the injury matter, as does where on the body it happened.

  • 03

    Surgery

    Surgical scars are usually clean-edged and predictable, which often makes them among the more treatable.

  • 04

    Disease

    Some illnesses damage the skin directly, or leave scarring behind once the condition itself has cleared.

Scarring, answered plainly

Still unsure? Bring the question to your consultation — there is no obligation to book a treatment.

What causes scarring?

Scars form when there is damage to the deep, dense layer of skin. The body creates fresh collagen fibres — a protein that occurs naturally — to mend the damage, and that repair is what becomes the scar.

Can old scars be removed?

Depending on your specific situation, there are many choices for treating deeper scars — including excision, dermabrasion and laser surgery, and for scarring on the scalp, hair transplantation.

Some of those are surgical procedures rather than med spa treatments. Part of what the consultation establishes is whether what you have is something we can soften here, or something better referred on.

How do you flatten a raised scar or keloid?

Cryotherapy — freezing treatment with liquid nitrogen — can be used on smaller keloids. You can also stop keloids forming in the first place by using pressure treatment or silicone gel pads on a fresh wound.

These are general options rather than a list of what we offer; ask us which of them applies to your scar.
