Facial scars

Facial scars are any type of scar located on the face.

They can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Acne
Surgery
Trauma (accidents, falls, cuts)
Medical conditions (chickenpox, shingles)


Facial scars can vary greatly in appearance depending on the cause. They can be flat or raised, smooth or pitted, pigmented (darker than surrounding skin) or hypopigmented (lighter than surrounding skin).

Treatment Options: Treatment for facial scars depends on the type, severity, and desired outcome. Non-surgical options include silicone gel sheets, laser treatments, or steroid injections. Surgical scar revision can be performed to improve the appearance of the scar. The best course of treatment is determined by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon after evaluating the specific scar.
