Let’s be real—scars might tell a story, but not everyone wants to keep reading that chapter. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars that just won’t quit, surgical marks, burns, or old injuries, those uneven patches can chip away at your confidence and disrupt your skin’s natural glow.
At RAD in Laguna Hills, we believe in rewriting the story—on your terms. With advanced treatments like Plasmage® and laser resurfacing, we’re not just softening scars—we’re rebuilding confidence, smoothing texture, and helping you fall in love with your skin again. Zero scalpels, minimal downtime, all the glow.
If You Need Surgery, We’ve Got You Covered—Literally
Whether you’re undergoing benign lesion removal, skin cancer excision, or aesthetic surgery with our double board-certified plastic surgeon, we don’t just focus on what’s being removed or enhanced—we also care deeply about how your skin heals.
From the very first incision, our surgical team uses precise techniques and scar-minimizing strategies to promote seamless healing. Post-op? We don’t leave you hanging. You’ll have access to the most advanced scar prevention and post-care tools available in aesthetic medicine.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Meticulous closure techniques designed to reduce tension and promote clean healing
- Early scar management with medical-grade skincare and customized in-clinic treatments
- Optional laser or Plasmage® follow-up to further fade post-surgical scars
So if you choose RAD for your surgical care, you’re not just getting expertise—you’re getting intentionality at every step, from procedure to recovery.
Not All Scars Are Created Equal
The first step to effective treatment? Knowing your scar type. Each one behaves differently, so your treatment plan should too.
- Atrophic Scars – Think acne or chickenpox scars. These sunken spots result from collagen loss.
- Hypertrophic Scars – Thick, raised, and stubborn—but they stay within the wound boundary.
- Keloid Scars – The overachievers of the scar world. These go rogue and grow beyond the original injury.
- Contracture Scars – Usually from burns. These tighten the skin and may limit movement.
- Surgical Scars – Size and healing depend on the incision and how your skin regenerates.
Matching the right treatment to the right scar type means faster results and smoother skin, sooner.
How Scar Treatments Like Plasmage® Transform Texture
Modern scar treatments do way more than “mask” the problem. We’re talking real regeneration.
Here’s what’s happening beneath the surface:
- Collagen Comeback: Energy-based devices stimulate fresh collagen where you need it most.
- Resurfacing Magic: Controlled plasma or laser energy smooths the scar’s surface, blending it with surrounding skin.
- Pigment Correction: Kiss red, purple, or dark-toned scars goodbye with tone-balancing results.
- Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical scar revision, options like Plasmage® let you get back to life without missing a beat.
Why Treating Scars Is About More Than Just Skin
Sure, we’re here for the smoother skin—but also for the freedom that comes with it.
With customized scar treatments at RAD, you’ll get:
- Fewer visible scars (acne, surgical, burn, trauma—you name it)
- Smoother, firmer skin thanks to boosted collagen
- No cutting, no stitches—just high-tech healing
- Safe treatment zones (face and neck included!)
- Personalized protocols for every scar type
- Inclusivity: safe for all skin tones
- Prevention of scar thickening over time
- That post-treatment glow and confidence boost
Personalized for You, Not Just Your Scar
Scar treatment is never one-size-fits-all—and that’s the RAD difference.
New vs. Old Scars:
- Newer scars respond quicker because they’re still in the healing phase.
- Older scars take a little more TLC—but don’t worry, we’ve got the tools.
Location, Location:
Facial scars? We treat them with a feather-light touch for natural-looking results. Body scars? We go deeper where needed.
Layered Approach:
Sometimes, combining modalities like Plasmage®, microneedling, and topicals gives you the best of all worlds.
What to Expect from Your Treatment Plan
Let’s set expectations so there are no surprises—just results.
- Visible Results: Many patients notice smoother texture after one session.
- Multiple Sessions? Maybe. Stubborn or deep scars may need 2–4 visits for full effect.
- Healing Time: Mild redness or swelling resolves quickly. Improvements build over weeks.
- Aftercare = Everything: We’ll set you up with a plan to protect your investment (think SPF, hydration, and follow-ups).
Safety First—Always
We’re all about peace of mind. That’s why our treatments are:
- FDA-cleared and practitioner-verified
- Low-risk for most skin types
- Designed with precision to avoid further scarring
- Tailored for your unique skin tone and sensitivity
FAQs: You Ask, We Glow
