Scar Treatment Optionsin North Vancouver
Scars can develop after acne, injury, surgery, burns, or other skin changes. Their appearance can vary widely, from uneven texture and indented areas to flat marks, raised scars, or changes in skin colour. At Nuevo Skin Lab, scar treatment begins with an assessment of the scar type, location, age, skin characteristics, treatment history, and goals. Selected aesthetic treatments may be considered for some texture and scar-related concerns, but they are not appropriate for every scar or a substitute for medical assessment where needed.
What Are Scars?

Different scar types may need different forms of care. An indented acne scar may be approached differently from a raised scar, surgical scar, burn scar, or post-inflammatory mark.

Changes People May Notice
- Indented or uneven acne scars
- Textural changes after a previous breakout or injury
- Flat scars that remain visible after healing
- Scar-related changes in colour or tone
- Uneven-looking texture in an area affected by acne, injury, or previous treatment
- Marks that are mistaken for scars but may be pigmentation or post-inflammatory changes
- Concerns about whether an aesthetic treatment may be appropriate
Treatment Options for Selected Scar Types
Not every option is appropriate for every scar type. Your provider will explain what treatment may realistically support and whether another care pathway should be considered.
How We Personalise Your Scar Care Plan
The cause, location, age, depth, texture, and appearance of the scar
Whether the concern involves acne scars, injury-related scars, surgical scars, pigmentation, or another factor
Your skin type, tone, sensitivity, and tendency toward pigment changes or raised scarring
Current skincare products and active ingredients
Medical history, medications, and previous treatments
Recent sun exposure and healing history
Your comfort with preparation, recovery, and ongoing treatment planning
Whether aesthetic treatment, medical assessment, skincare guidance, or another approach is most appropriate
The goal is not to promise complete scar removal or a standard result. Treatment planning should reflect the nature of the concern, your skin characteristics, and what an appropriate non-surgical approach may realistically support.

Scar Treatment FAQs
Selected acne scars, texture-related scars, and some flat or indented scars may be considered for aesthetic treatment after assessment. Raised, thickened, painful, or changing scars may require medical evaluation first.
