Just had my first visit; I’m impressed. Dr Stepien has excellent bedside manner. She answered all of my questions while seeming to be genuinely concerned about my health. I wanted the personal touch afforded by a small practice and was not disappointed. The office staff is very friendly and efficient too! Thank you for helping me!

When our skin is injured, scarring is a natural part of healing. A burn injury, acne, or trauma, such as surgery, can cause a scar on the skin. Some scars can be easily concealed if they’re small or in a location that’s easy to hide. However, other scars are prominent and can make a person self-conscious.

At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer comprehensive treatments for scars caused by acne, surgery, or injuries. Treatment is individualized to your scar and treatment goals.

Types of Scars We Can Treat

Scarring can occur for many different reasons. Fortunately, we offer comprehensive scar treatments individualized to your goals and scars. Some of the most common types of scars we can treat include:

• Acne Scars – Acne scars are formed from cystic acne. Before undergoing acne scar treatment, you should make sure your acne has been treated or resolved. Once your acne is under control, you can pursue treatment for your acne scars.
• Raised Scars / Hypertrophic scars / Keloidal scars – Raised scars, also known as hypertrophic scars or keloidal scars, are prevalent. Hypertrophic scars are raised in the area of trauma. Keloidal scars produce excessive scar tissue such that the scar is larger than the initial injury. For example, after an ear piercing, a large keloid forms on the backside of the ear.
• Depressed Scars / Atrophic Scars – These scars lack collagen and elastic tissue, contributing to their depressed or atrophic appearance. This type of scar treatment focuses on increasing collagen and elastic tissue and replacing lost tissue.
• Traumatic Scars / Injury Scars – Traumatic scars caused by car accidents, dog bites, burns, or other accidents can be very upsetting. We will listen to you to understand what you want to achieve with scar revision.
• Discolored or Darkened Scars – Injury to the skin can produce darker or lighter scars than your normal skin. Sometimes, we can replace the lost melanocytes for lighter scars and use treatments to lighten the scars for darker scars.
