Scars can be created by many things – accidents, trauma and surgery. But the good news in 2014 is that there are many ways in which surgeons can not only treat scars but there are many techniques which will minimize scar development following surgery as well. This week on Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today, we are talking about scar correction after surgery, when your show host, Edmonton cosmetic dermatologist Dr Barry Lycka talks with Dr Norman Rowe, board certified plastic surgeon from New York City. The two doctors discuss how scars form and how they can be minimized during surgery. They then discuss methods of scar correction including how lasers are used to treat scars and what the different types of laser actually do. This is an easy to follow but in-depth look at the latest techniques in laser scar correction of interest to anyone facing surgery and also for anyone who already has a scar that is causing a problem, or is unsightly, and needs treatment.
