Scars come in a variety of shapes and sizes based on the ethnic background and skin type of the patient. Dr. Kwan aims to help improve the aesthetics of patients by minimizing or improving the appearance of such scars.

Dr. Kwan’s Scar Removal Treatment is based on the following categorization of scars:

Hypertrophic Scars: These scars are seen as raised red lumps on the skin. Prime causes of such scars include infection, poorly closed wound or tension. Since hypertrophic scars do not spread to areas outside the original wound, their appearance is more likely to improve with time.

Keloid Scars: These scars are of a more serious nature as they tend to spread out to areas outside the original wound and may evolve into a tumorous growth. Keloid scars take on a thick and large appearance. They are usually redder or darker than the surrounding skin.

Widespread Scars: This category of scars are most commonly found in “moving” areas of the body such as the arms and legs.

Through the Scar Removal Treatment, Dr. Kwan aims to remove excess scar tissues and reduce the visibility of the scar. With his expert judgment, Dr. Kwan may recommend injection of steroids or application of a silicone (silastic) gel to flatten the scar.

There is no need for you to live with a scarred personality and confidence simply because your appearance is scarred. A single sitting with Dr. Kwan will help you realize how his unmatched track record can help you realize all your aesthetic dreams and expectations.
