Great friendly, caring atmosphere, knowledgeable, competent and thorough.
Response from the owner: Thank you, we are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
Response from the owner: Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you so much for the review!
It was my first time visiting Dr. Stepien. I went for my 6-month total skin exam. I was greeted promptly by the front office staff. The waiting area was comfortable. The MA, Kiera, was friendly and efficient while I answered her questions. Dr. Stepien was very thorough and personable while she performed the exam. I ended up with having a couple spots 'frozen.' Which is pretty normal for me. I would recommend her practice.

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 scarsRaised 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.
