Scar Management
Scar Management in Dera Ismail Khan
Scars tell a story, but that doesn’t mean you have to be reminded of it every time you look in the mirror. Whether from surgery, injury, burns, or acne, scar management at Dr. Zohaib Hassan’s clinic focuses on improving texture, flexibility, and appearance — using whichever combination of treatments actually fits your scar, not a generic protocol.
Understanding Scars
Not all scars are the same, and treating them effectively starts with knowing what type you’re dealing with. Hypertrophic scars are raised and confined to the original wound area. Keloid scars grow beyond it, sometimes significantly. Atrophic scars — common with acne — leave depressions in the skin. Contracture scars, often from burns, can tighten skin and restrict movement. Each type responds differently to treatment, which is why an accurate assessment matters more than jumping straight to a procedure.
Treatments We Offer
1) Scar Revision Surgery
For scars that are thick, wide, or poorly positioned, surgical revision re-shapes or removes the scar tissue, allowing the area to heal in a way that blends more naturally with surrounding skin.
2) Laser Scar Therapy
Targets discoloration, texture irregularities, and raised scar tissue using controlled laser treatment — often used alongside other methods for a more complete result.
3) Steroid & Filler Injections
Corticosteroid injections flatten raised or keloid scars over a series of sessions, while filler injections can help raise depressed, atrophic scars to match surrounding skin level.
4) Silicone Therapy & Pressure Treatment
Non-invasive options that support scar flattening and softening over time — frequently recommended following surgery or for early-stage scar management.
4) Microneedling
Stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production to improve the texture and appearance of atrophic and acne scars gradually, over multiple sessions.
Dr. Hassan builds each scar management plan around the scar’s type, age, and location — since a scar from last month responds very differently than one from ten years ago.
