Arm Scar Revision - This is a 28-year-old man who came to the office requesting revision of skin grafts on both arms. He had some large tattoos in this area when he was young and foolish. After attempting multiple rounds of laser tattoo removal he says his skin began to scar from the laser and he was told that he would always have a shadow from the original tattoo.His next stop was to a local plastic surgeon to have the marks surgically excised. That surgeon told him that he would not be able to close the wounds because they were too large but instead offered to skin graft the areas. The before pictures above represent those skin grafts, but they look just like scars to the patient. I offered him complete removal of the old skin grafts and primary (direct) closure. Postoperatively, he followed a rigid support program with taping of the wounds as well as application of silicone gel. His results are shown about 8 months after I revised the skin grafts.

65-74 year old woman treated with Scar Removal - This is a lady who underwent a surgical removal of a skin cancer on the face in a very visible area around the eyebrow. The wound left behind was not closed by the surgeon because they felt that the patient would not benefit from a surgical scar repair. Dr. Karamanoukian in Santa Monica began a HIDEF scar protocol that includes primary surgical scar excision, multilayered skin repair with RF microneedling, laser therapy, scar modulation with Plato's Scar Serum, fractional laser, and PRP injections. In the short term, the patient used Plato's Scar serum to reduce inflammation and hypertrophy of scars.
