1. Chemical peels:
This treatment seeks to remove the top layer of skin and stimulate collagen production.
2. Microdermabrasion:
Under this treatment, professionals opt for exfoliation to improve skin texture and reduce scarring.
3. Microneedling:
A cosmetic procedure that involves the use of needles to stimulate collagen production and help improve scar texture.
If you wish to consider alternatives to professional treatments and surgeries, Tolat recommends over-the-counter topical products (administered to the skin) having ingredients like retinoids, vitamin C and niacinamide that can help fade scars gradually.
