These white and broad scars are difficult to treat.  I would begin by a series of fractional laser treatments to improve texture and camouflage color.

The upper lip scar involved dermis and there is associated redness.  I would begin treatment with pulsed dye laser followed by fractional laser resurfacing.

Laser hair removal and a chemical peel may help with your condition.  I would recommend at least one MelaPeel for my patients with this condition.

I would treat this keloid with early pulsed dye laser, IIT, and pressure treatment since it is relatively early in the process of growth.

Scar excision and layered skin and tissue closure will dramatically improve these abdominal scars from surgery.

I would begin with IIT, pressure treatment, and laser for the chest keloids. I have treated countless chest keloids and believe that this represents the best long and short term treatment.
