Until recently there have been few treatment options that truly affected the appearance of scars. Some topical applications, containing tretinoin, have been somewhat effective in treating new inflammatory scars. Used daily, creams containing glycolic acid and L-ascorbic acid may slightly improve the appearance of mature, white scars. New light-based treatments have been developed to treat both new and mature scars. The ReLume System is being used to return normal skin color to pale scars. Treatments utilizing Intense Pulsed Light can help fade the red and purple pigments associated with new, inflammatory scars.
