Scar Treatment & Removal in the Bay Area

If you're looking to remove acne scars, Illustra Dermatology offers specialized treatments to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin. Our Bay Area dermatology clinic provides expert microneedling, kenalog injections, and chemical peel services, proven to minimize scars and promote healing. Whether you have mild to severe acne scarring or keloids that need attention, our personalized care ensures results tailored to your specific needs.

Microneedling for Scarring and Anti-Aging

Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving skin texture. This non-invasive procedure involves the use of tiny, fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy, firm skin. Over a series of sessions, microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars and smooth out uneven skin.

At Illustra Dermatology, our microneedling treatments are performed by experienced Bay Area professional, Dr. Adrianna Browne. As a board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Browne understands the intricacies of skin healing. We take care to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process, using advanced techniques to deliver noticeable, long-lasting results.

Keloid Treatment and Removal

Keloids are enlarged, raised scar tissue growths that are red, pink, skin-colored or darker than the original skin. Thick overgrowth of scar tissue can be formed due to an excess of collagen during the healing process. Keloids tend to be larger than the original injury area, and though they are not harmful, many consider them to be unsightly. Dr. Browne offers keloid treatment and removal for Bay Area residents via cryotherapy, injections, lasers, and more! 

If the presence of unsightly keloids makes you feel uncomfortable, or you would like to minimize their appearance, Bay Area’s Illustra Dermatology offers a treatment ranging from corticosteroid shots, freezing, and possible laser or removal. All of these procedures can be performed in Dr. Adrianna Browne’s Bay Area modern facility where patient comfort comes first.

Chemical Peels for Scars and Skin Renewal

Chemical peels are another excellent option for those looking to remove acne scars and hyperpigmentation. This treatment involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin that gently exfoliates the outer layers, removing damaged cells and stimulating the growth of new, healthy skin. Chemical peels can range from light to deep, depending on your skin type and the severity of the scars.

Our Bay Area clinic offers a variety of chemical peels, each designed to target specific skin concerns. For acne scarring, a medium-depth peel can work wonders in reducing the depth and discoloration of scars. Regular treatments can help smooth the skin’s surface, even out pigmentation, and restore your complexion’s natural radiance.
