What are Scars?

Scars are a result of your body healing an injury. This can be an accidental injury such as a fall, or can be a medically necessary injury, such a scar from surgery. After an injury scars can heal well with medical care. If a scar has healed with complications such as depressed scar, contracted scar, keloids, hyperpigmentation or other complications there are options to improve the appearance. Our team at Kalia Dermatology and Laser Center in Los Gatos can help you improve the appearance and texture of your scars.
