Comprehensive Scar Management in Calgary

We have changed our focus to prevent excessive scarring by intervening early in the scar remodeling process, rather than waiting for scar tissue to form.

Starting treatment as early as 2 weeks post procedure, depending on the type of surgery and location, can help enhance outcomes. However, even old, mature scars can often be improved.

Resulting from an exaggerated healing response, keloid scars can be large and painful. They extend beyond the original site of injury and in some cases, form spontaneously.

Keloids usually require multiple steps within each treatment session to address colour, elevation and symptoms.

The Dp4 dermapen is a microneedling technique that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin to trigger collagen production, which aids in skin renewal and scar reduction. 

The Dp4 can effortlessly glide over the skin, creating fine vertical channels that help improve the absorption of topical nutrients deeper into the skin. By combining collagen induction therapy with serum treatment, we can offer you a comprehensive solution.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to reduce redness and inflammation. Because IPL can break down excess melanin, the M22 IPL treatment can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation.

Lumenis M22 ResurFX delivers energy in a fractional pattern into the deep layers of the skin. The energy stimulates collagen production and scar remodelling.

The laser doesn’t harm the top of the skin but instead triggers a natural healing response in the deeper layers. There can be some initial swelling after the procedure.
