It is always fun to hear the story behind the scar. It is a marking of when you fell out of the tree, had surgery on your wrist, or got too close to the stove and suffered burns from spitting oil. Some scars are not revealed as they are hidden under clothing, yet others are out in the open for everyone to see. Time does aid in the fading of scars but not everyone has this level of patience. There are some solutions to healing and fading scars and a few tips to get you started:

• Consider HydraFacials. To really attack scars, a procedure called hydra-dermabrasion can be performed. This procedure, which basically removes a layer of skin while adding vital nourishment and activating collagen, is quite common. It’s used to revitalize the skin and reduce the appearance of raised scars.
• Massage. If you have a scar that bugs you, point it out to me on your next visit. Often some specialized massaging can be done to the area to break up the tissue.
• Use SPF. It’s vital to protect the scar from the sun’s harmful rays. By shielding the scar from the sun, it decreases the likelihood of hyper-pigmentation, where the scar turns color.
• Deep Sea Peel. For the truly deep or old scar a series of Deep Sea Peels can work miracles. I’ve been doing them on my thyroid removal scar with wonderful results and have used them on a number of now invisible old scars on my body.
