Scars mar the skin due to many reasons —trauma, surgery, illness, acne, or become visible after a facial surgery. Scar removal can help you feel more confident about your appearance.

Scar Reduction Treatments Under the Care of a Physician
At Skin Deep MD in Boulder, we offer scar reduction treatments that can greatly improve the appearance of scars – and bring you greater confidence in your appearance. Each scar reduction treatment is overseen by one of Boulder’s most respected physicians, Dr. Melody Denham. You can trust that your treatment will be performed with meticulous care for superior results.
Laser scar reduction can be achieved without surgery. Our non-invasive treatments can greatly reduce the appearance of visible scars in just minutes. To treat visible scars, we use a micro-fine laser light to penetrate the deep into the skin layers to trigger the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Damaged tissue is sloughed off and replaced, along with fresh collagen and elastin, leaving you with fresh, smoother-looking skin.

Am I a good candidate for scar reduction?

What to Expect During Your Scar Reduction Procedure
It is important to understand that while laser scar reduction can do many things to improve the look of scars it cannot completely fully remove the scar. The procedure will be performed in our offices in Boulder, Colorado, and will take approximately one to two hours.
Our experienced aesthetician employs the ICON laser to remove the top layer of skin and damaged skin cells creating the scar. The laser will also penetrate the skin’s middle layers, tightening and smoothing as the wand passes over the scar. After the treatment, you can expect:
- Mild redness in the treatment area
- Minimal to no discomfort
- A scar that is less than six months old will have the best results
Keep in mind that scar reduction is not a one-time procedure. Depending on the severity of the scar, it can take multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. We can assure you that the procedure will greatly improve the texture and overall smooth quality of your skin.
