Dr. Stepien is amazing. I have seen her a number of times, always having great results. She takes her time, is gentle and wants to make sure you are comfortable. The office staff are welcoming, caring, and set a comfortable environment during your time there. I just experienced a tragedy in my life , Dr Stepien and staff were kind and empathetic to me. Thank you.

Where do I start?! I spent some time calling around and looking for a new Dermatologist after a really bad experience with another Doctor. I called Jacksonville Dermatology and Cosmetic and the woman who answered the phone was so welcoming that I just knew I had found our new Dermatologist! I was able to be seen a few days later with Dr. Stepien. She and her staff took great care of me. She found Squamous Cell Carcinoma on my shoulder and performed surgery on my shoulder. Dr. Stepien was very professional and warm and welcoming. The office offers many advanced derma-logical and cosmetic options and all are cutting edge! My husband went in today and he was thrilled. We both highly recommend this practice!Thanks so much!Manny Altman

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.
