We treat a variety of scars including those that are raised, red, dark, and depressed. These scars are often the result of surgery or traumatic injury.
Different scars respond to different technologies. An accurate assessment guides effective treatment planning.
Raised, depressed, or discolored surgical scars can be treated with lasers and related devices.
Scars from accidents or burns can be treated with lasers and related devices.
Lasers work best for red stretch marks and can sometimes be helpful for white stretch marks.
Residual pigment changes within scars that remain visible after the skin has healed.

With over 450 publications and a leading role in developing many of today’s laser devices and related technologies, Dr. Roy Geronemus offers a level of expertise rarely found in cosmetic dermatology and birthmark treatments. Dr. G performs all procedures, safely combining laser, injectable, and energy-based treatments when clinically appropriate.
Laser and energy-based treatments can improve many types of scars, including:
During your consultation, we evaluate the characteristics of your scar to determine the most appropriate approach for scar revision in NYC.
Laser treatments deliver controlled energy into the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve texture. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, and scar visibility decreases. Dr. Geronemus selects the correct technologies for you based on the depth of your scar and how your skin responds to receiving treatment.
Yes. Even older scars can respond to laser treatment because, with proper stimulation, collagen continues to remodel. Many patients seek scar revision in NYC years after surgery or injury and still achieve improvement.
Yes. Careful technology selection allows for safe treatment across diverse skin tones. Dr. Geronemus played a vital role in developing many of the laser systems he uses. Because of this, he is not only skilled but knows how to minimize hyperpigmentation while improving scar quality.
Downtime varies depending on the technology we use. Some treatments involve minimal recovery, while resurfacing options typically require planned healing. We review expectations before treatment and provide post-care instructions to help you heal properly.
Yes. Different lasers target irregular pigmentation, redness, and texture. Combining technologies in a coordinated care plan allows us to address multiple attributes of scarring.
