Scar Removal and Scar Reduction in Cincinnati, Ohio
Ready to get started?
Contact UsA scar can be a reminder of acne, surgery, an injury, or another experience you would rather not see every time you look in the mirror. Some scars fade gradually, while others remain raised, indented, discolored, or diferent in texture from the surrounding skin.
Although no treatment can promise to erase a scar completely, professional care may help it appear smoother, fatter, softer, or less noticeable.
At New Body Aesthetics in Cincinnati, Ohio, we create personalized plans for appropriate scars based on their type, age, location, and appearance. Treatment may include microneedling, Opus Plasma, professional skincare, chemical exfoliation, or selected laser and energy-based treatments.
Our physician-led team, under the direction of Dr. Cory Gaiser, will help determine which options may be appropriate for your skin and goals.
Why Do Some Scars Fade While Others Stay Noticeable?
A scar forms when the deeper layers of the skin are damaged and the body produces collagen to repair the area.
How the scar heals depends on several factors, including:
- The cause and depth of the injury
- The location of the scar
- Genetics
- Age
- Skin tone
- Sun exposure
- Infection or delayed healing
- Picking at the area
- The amount of collagen produced
- Tension or movement during healing
Some scars gradually fatten and lighten. Others may remain raised, indented, firm, stretched, or darker than the surrounding skin.
What Type of Scar Do I Have?
Identifying the scar type is one of the most important parts of choosing treatment.
Indented or depressed scars develop when tissue is lost beneath the skin. These are commonly associated with acne or chickenpox.
Raised scars form when the body produces more collagen during healing. Hypertrophic scars remain within the original injured area, while keloids may grow beyond it.
Surgical and injury-related scars can be fat, raised, widened, or discolored depending on how the area healed.
Some marks that look like scars are actually post-infammatory discoloration. These fat red, pink, brown, or purple marks afect skin color without changing its texture.
A patient may have both discoloration and textural scarring in the same area.

What Treatments Can Improve the Appearance of Scars?
There is no single treatment for every scar. The right option depends on whether the concern involves indentation, raised tissue, uneven texture, redness, or discoloration.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Microneedling
- Opus Plasma
- Laser or energy-based treatments
- Chemical exfoliation
- Professional skincare
- A combination of services
Raised scars and keloids may require evaluation or treatment from a dermatologist. A scar that is still healing may also need more time before cosmetic treatment begins.
Can Microneedling Help With Scars?
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin to support collagen remodeling and the skin’s natural renewal process.
It may help improve certain indented scars, mild textural irregularities, and uneven skin. Because collagen develops gradually, a series of treatments may be recommended.
Microneedling is not appropriate for every scar. Active acne, infections, open wounds, keloids, and certain skin conditions may require a diferent approach.
How Does Opus Plasma Treat Scars?
Opus Plasma delivers fractional plasma energy to create controlled treatment zones within the skin. This process supports collagen and elastin remodeling and may improve selected scars and textural irregularities.
Treatment intensity can be adjusted based on the scar, treatment area, skin, and desired recovery time.
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, dryness, sensitivity, or small crusts may develop afterward. Your provider will determine whether Opus Plasma is appropriate for your scar and skin type.
Can Laser Treatments Help With Scars?
Selected laser and energy-based treatments may help address scar-related redness, discoloration, or uneven texture.
The appropriate option depends on the color and type of scar, your skin tone, and how the
area previously healed. Some technologies focus more on pigmentation or redness, while
others support collagen remodeling.
Laser treatment is not automatically the best choice for every scar. Your provider will
explain whether it is suitable and how many treatments may be needed.

About UsCan Skincare Remove a Scar?
Professional skincare and chemical exfoliation cannot remove deep or raised scar tissue, but they may help improve discoloration, surface texture, and the overall appearance of the surrounding skin.
Your provider may recommend products that support skin-cell turnover, protect the skin barrier, or address post-infammatory discoloration.
Sun protection is especially important because exposure can make a scar or dark mark more noticeable.
How Many Scar Treatments Will I Need?
Scar improvement usually happens gradually. The number of treatments depends on the type, depth, age, and location of the scar, as well as the treatment selected and your individual response.
Some patients notice improvement after a few appointments, while deeper or more complex scars may require a longer treatment plan.
The goal is improvement, not perfection. Your provider will discuss what is realistically possible before treatment begins.
