Scar Treatment in Philly
Philly Wellness Center
Minimize the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
Scarring and stretch marks are common skin concerns that result from the skin’s inability to adapt to rapid changes, such as injury, weight gain, or pregnancy. Scars form as the body heals wounds, while stretch marks occur when the skin is stretched quickly, causing the collagen and elastin to break. Both conditions can leave visible marks on the skin, ranging from discoloration to texture changes. Although they can fade over time, treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, and topical creams can help reduce their appearance and improve skin texture.
Treatment Options

Morpheus8 is the gold standard in the industry for RF microneedling. The energy stimulates more collagen and elastin to be created leading to dramatic improvements in the skin texture.
Morpheus is great for stretch marks, scarring, acne, texture, large pores and so much more.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for surgical scars to heal?
Surgical scars typically take 6 to 12 months to fully heal and fade. Initially, they may appear red or raised, but over time, they generally flatten and lighten. However, the exact healing time varies depending on the individual’s skin type, the size of the incision, and post-operative care.
Can surgical scars be prevented?
While it’s impossible to completely prevent surgical scars, following proper wound care instructions can minimize their severity. Keeping the wound clean, avoiding sun exposure, and using silicone sheets or scar creams can help reduce scarring. The skill of the surgeon and the location of the incision also play a role in scar formation.
What treatments are available to reduce the appearance of surgical scars?
Treatments to reduce surgical scars include Dermal fillers with PRP and RF microneedling. These options help to improve the texture and color of the scar, making it less noticeable over time.
Are some people more prone to scarring after surgery?
Yes, some individuals are more prone to scarring due to factors like genetics, age, and skin type. People with darker skin tones or those with a family history of keloids or hypertrophic scars are more likely to develop more prominent or raised scars after surgery.

HAPPY CLIENTS
Brands We Love & Trust
I don’t know about you, but we’ve been super frustrated trying to find brands that are eco conscious and use non-toxic, non cancerous ingredients. I never realized how difficult it was to find brands that fit these criteria. Is it really that much to ask that known carcinogens aren’t placed in our skin care products?
After a long, hard search, we are thrilled to share with you our curated partners who go above our expectations.
