I have scar tissue all over my scalp possibly due to folliculitus or carbunculitis. How can I remove this?

Question

that being said I do have hair still but would like to shave my head but it is rather unsightly and I am starting to go bald. Is plastic surgery an option to remove the damaged tissue?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Scar revision requires in-depth experience and can improve the visibility of scarred tissue. We use a HIDEF approach that includes Vbeam laser for red and active scars, combination fractional and non-ablative laser for active hypertrophic and keloid scars, and micro fractional laser for surface topography. These can improve PIH, PIE, textural scars, and deeply red or pigmented scars.
