What do they look like?

• These scars are often paler than the surrounding skin and appear to have a ‘dent’ or ‘hole’ in the skin.  
• They can be caused by post-surgical scars, trauma or skin conditions such as acne.  

• They can be caused by removal of skin and skin grafting procedures. 
• They can occur anywhere on the body.  

How can this scar be improved? 

• Scars like these can respond very well to surgical scar revision to fill the ‘dent’ with some rearranged skin or fat.

• Occasionally laser can help the new scar to settle more quickly. 
• Scars like these can also benefit from scar therapy in addition to surgery and/or laser.
