What is a scar?
Scars are irregularities in the skin surface which form when the deeper layer of skin, the dermis, is damaged. As it heals, the body produces new collagen (a protein) to repair the wound. This new collagen is, however, woven differently than the original collagen in the skin it replaces, resulting in a different appearance. Scars can be thickened above the skin surface, as in keloid scars or below the adjacent skin level, as in acne pitting. Healing after burns can cause skin and tissue contracture which may limit movement. Scars can be hyper- or hypopigmented, in contrast to undamaged, surrounding skin. The kind of scar you have will determine the appropriate treatment.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
