Scars are frustrating reminders of injuries or insults to your skin, and without proper treatment, they can be permanent. When they are in noticeable locations such as your face, neck, or hands, you may feel self-conscious about their presence and the effect they have on your appearance.

Dr. Jim Brantner and his team have years of experience removing and reducing the appearance of scars, and we can help return your skin to its blemish-free, youthful condition.

If you’re in the Tri-City, TN area, contact Dr. Brantner’s office today through phone or email to schedule an appointment.

What Causes Scars?

Scars form when you receive an injury to your dermis, the deepest layer of your skin. Your body has to create new tissue from the protein collagen to repair the damage, and this tissue looks different from the rest of your skin, forming the appearance of the scar.

Sometimes, acne can leave scars on your face, back, or chest. Acne often forms on the surface of your skin, where it can completely heal without scarring. However, scars develop when deep-rooted acne forms in your dermis. As the acne heals, your body produces tissue to cover the injured area, resulting in a scarred appearance.

Scars also form as a result of skin cancer. Mohs surgery is a specific treatment for these cancers, and when a Mohs surgeon removes cancerous skin cells, the invasive procedure often leaves keloids, or enlarged scars, in the place of the cancer site. The only way to get rid of keloids is through treatment by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Most scars fade over time, but they never disappear on their own. However, we have comfortable, painless ways to remove these blemishes caused by acne, skin cancer, or any other injury.

Tri-Cities, TN Scar Revision

Below, we discuss several methods to remove scars. These include injections, creams, Z- and W-Plasty procedures, and laser treatments.

Injections

Steroids injected into the tissue site can soften the skin and reduce the appearance of the scar.

Creams

One of the least invasive treatments, scar creams, can help restore moisture to your skin tissue and blend scarring into your surrounding skin.

Z-Plasty and W-Plasty

Reconstructive procedures like Z-Plasty and W-Plasty can minimize the appearance of scars by repositioning the damaged tissue to a less detectable location, such as natural creases in patients’ skin.

Lasers

Just as laser hair removal treatment targets your hair follicles, laser scar removal targets the root of your scar tissue to lessen the rough appearance and smooth out your skin in the affected area. These procedures can effectively remove skin cancer keloids.

We’ll conduct a thorough examination of your scars to determine which methods of removal will be the safest and most effective for your skin.
If you live in Kingsport, Johnson City, or any of the Tri-Cities in East Tennessee, you can email Dr. Jim Brantner to set up your examination.

 

Morpheus 8 Acne Scar Removal

 

Morpheus 8 is one of the newest and most effective treatments to remove acne scars and repair other types of skin blemishes. It is a small device that combines the effects of micro-needling with radio waves to restore damaged tissue, erasing the appearance of scars.

Some patients equate this treatment to laser hair removal, as it works in similar ways to target and remove desired areas of your skin. But unlike laser hair removal, which can be painful, Morpheus 8 treatments utilize a topical anesthetic that reduces sensations in the area. Most patients do not feel any pain with Morpheus 8 treatments.

Morpheus 8 is a minimally invasive treatment that has successfully reduced or removed scars for many Johnson City, TN residents. Give it a try to see how it can improve the appearance of your acne scars.
