Cicatrices

Scarring occurs when the dermis layer of skin is damaged and the body produces collagen to repair the wound. The resulting tissue has a different texture and appearance than normal skin. Common causes include acne, surgery, burns, cuts, and certain skin conditions. Genetics, skin tone, wound depth, and how the injury is treated all influence the severity of scarring. People who pick at wounds or expose healing skin to the sun tend to develop more noticeable scars. If you are struggling with acne-related scarring, early treatment can help prevent permanent marks.

Most types of scars respond well to professional treatment. Atrophic scars (sunken or pitted), which are common after acne, can be improved with RF microneedling and collagen induction therapy. Hypertrophic scars (raised, red) often respond to laser therapy and chemical peels. Keloid scars, which grow beyond the wound boundary, are more challenging but can still be softened and reduced in appearance. Contracture scars from burns benefit from combination approaches that restore flexibility and texture. During your consultation at Reimagine Clinic, we assess your scar type to recommend the most effective treatment pathway.

While no treatment can make a scar disappear entirely, modern scar treatment in Montreal can dramatically reduce a scar’s visibility, texture, and color. Many patients achieve 50 to 80 percent improvement in scar appearance through professional treatments like laser skin rejuvenation and RF microneedling. The degree of improvement depends on the scar type, age, depth, and your skin’s healing capacity. Newer scars generally respond better than older, mature scars. A combination approach using multiple treatment modalities typically produces the most significant results. Our team sets realistic expectations during your initial assessment so you know what level of improvement to anticipate.

The most effective treatments for acne scars depend on the scar subtype. For ice pick and boxcar scars, RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, triggering collagen remodeling that fills in depressions. Rolling scars respond well to traditional microneedling combined with PRP or exosome therapy. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left by acne is best addressed with chemical peels and laser treatments. At Reimagine Clinic, we frequently combine two or three modalities in a phased treatment plan to achieve the best possible outcome for acne scarring. Most clients see meaningful improvement within three to five sessions.

The number of sessions required for scar treatment varies based on the scar type, severity, treatment method, and your individual healing response. As a general guideline, most patients need three to six sessions of RF microneedling or laser therapy, spaced four to six weeks apart, to see significant results. Mild superficial scars may show improvement after just one or two sessions, while deep or widespread scarring may require a longer treatment course. Chemical peels for superficial scarring are typically done in a series of three to four treatments. We create a detailed treatment timeline during your free consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Sí, los peelings químicos son una opción eficaz para ciertos tipos de cicatrices, especialmente las superficiales de acné y las marcas postinflamatorias. Los peelings de profundidad media con TCA o ácidos combinados penetran en la dermis superior, estimulando la renovación celular y la producción de colágeno, lo que suaviza el tejido cicatricial. Los peelings superficiales con ácido glicólico o salicílico son útiles para la decoloración leve y las irregularidades de la textura. Para cicatrices más profundas, los peelings químicos funcionan mejor como parte de un protocolo combinado con microagujas o terapia láser. La clave está en elegir el tipo y la concentración de peeling adecuados para su cicatriz y tipo de piel específicos, por lo que es importante una evaluación profesional antes de comenzar el tratamiento.
