Scar Treatment in Beverly Hills
& Los Angeles
At Sykes Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, we offer advanced scar treatments to help patients enhance the appearance, texture, and tone of their skin following injury or surgery. Scars can affect confidence and comfort, especially when they are raised, discolored, or located in visible areas.
Our treatments are specifically designed to soften, smooth, and blend scar tissue, thereby restoring a more natural appearance to the skin.
With decades of experience in facial and reconstructive procedures, Dr. Jonathan Sykes understands how to minimize scars and enhance healing through personalized, evidence-based care.
Whether your scar is new or long-standing, whether it is surgical or accidental, there are effective ways to improve its appearance without extensive downtime.
What Causes Scars to Form?
BBL Photofacial uses targeted light energy to treat skin imperfections caused by aging, environmental damage, and genetics. It is a non-invasive treatment that delivers BBL into the deeper layers of the skin, where it heats and stimulates natural cell regeneration.
BBL Photofacial can improve the appearance of:
- Sunspots and freckles
- Redness and rosacea
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven tone and dull skin
- Visible capillaries
- Age spots and hyperpigmentation
The treatment is fully customizable and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Treatment Options for Scars
At Sykes Plastic Surgery, we use a combination of techniques to address scars based on their cause, location, and texture. Treatments can be performed alone or in combination for optimal improvement.
Some of the most effective options include:
Treatment Goal
Laser treatments target redness, discoloration, and texture by stimulating collagen and remodeling scar tissue. This method helps flatten raised scars and fade pigment irregularities over time.
Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing response, promoting smoother texture and even tone. It is especially effective for acne scars and stretch marks.
Steroid or filler injections
Steroid injections help soften thick or raised scars by reducing inflammation and collagen buildup. Dermal fillers may be used for depressed or sunken scars to restore a smoother surface.
Chemical peels and resurfacing
Gentle exfoliating peels remove the outer layers of skin to reveal healthier, newer tissue beneath. These treatments help refine scar texture and improve pigmentation.
Surgical scar revision
For more prominent scars, minor surgical techniques can reposition or excise the scar to reduce its visibility. Surgical revision is often combined with laser or topical therapy for the best long-term results.
Benefits of Scar Treatment
Patients often notice visible improvement in both the look and feel of their skin after treatment. Common benefits include:
- Smoother, even skin texture
- Reduction in redness and discoloration
- Improved flexibility and comfort in the treated area
- Enhanced self-confidence and natural appearance
Because scar treatments are highly customizable, each plan is tailored to the patient’s specific needs and goals.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your visit begins with a detailed evaluation of your scar’s characteristics and your overall skin health. Dr. Sykes and his team will recommend the most effective treatment or combination of therapies tailored to your specific case.
A typical session may include:
- Cleansing and preparing the skin
- Application of laser, microneedling, or injection-based therapy
- Use of cooling gel or soothing serum afterward to minimize redness
Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Discomfort is minimal, and patients can usually return to their daily routine immediately.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing times vary depending on the procedure, but most patients experience mild redness or swelling for a few days. It is vital to keep the area moisturized, avoid direct sun exposure, and follow all aftercare instructions provided.
Results develop gradually as the skin rebuilds collagen and renews itself. Many patients begin to see improvement within several weeks, with continued refinement over several months.
