Injury scar treatment involves procedures to reduce the appearance of scars resulting from injuries. Techniques include laser therapy, microneedling, and topical treatments, all aimed at improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility. Dr. Sachdeva tailors the approach based on the scar type and location for optimal results.
Chemical peels are generally safe but need to be customized for each skin type. Dr. Sachdeva assesses your skin condition and chooses a peel type (superficial, medium, or deep) based on your specific needs. Proper aftercare is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Aftercare requirements vary by procedure but generally include avoiding direct sun exposure, following specific skincare routines, and refraining from certain activities that could affect healing. Dr. Sachdeva provides detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure to ensure the best results and minimize complications.
