Yes, but depends on location and size.
Yes. We can remove the old scars by excising them and reclosing the area. Sometimes patients only need laser treatments to improve. It is a good question to ask during your consultation.
Yes, play excision enclosure under local anesthesia.
They can be revised, but not removed.
