Work-Related Scars We Cosmetically Improve
Whether your scar is from burns, lacerations, puncture wounds, or other workplace injuries, we offer advanced cosmetic treatments to restore your appearance.
Thermal, chemical, or electrical burn scars often require reconstruction and texture improvement. We utilize advanced laser resurfacing, surgical revision, and tissue expansion techniques to dramatically improve scar pain, discomfort and the the appearance of burn scars while restoring skin function and flexibility.
Raised, wide, or irregular scars from workplace accidents and emergency repairs. These scars often result from uncontrolled closures during emergency treatment. We can revise these scars using advanced laser techniques as well as precision surgical techniques - i.e. strategic reorientation, and meticulous closure methods to create thinner, less visible scars.
Thick, raised scars that grow above and beyond the original injury site. These abnormal healing responses require specialized treatment including intra-lesional steroid injections, laser therapy, and/or surgical excision with specialized closure techniques to flatten and soften the scar tissue.
Highly visible scars affecting appearance and self-confidence. Facial scars require the most refined cosmetic techniques due to their visibility. We use advanced methods including geometric revision patterns (Z-plasty, W-plasty), fractional laser resurfacing (i.e. Fraxel Dual, CO2 laser, etc.), and careful attention to facial aesthetic units to minimize visibility.
Scars on visible extremities impacting professional appearance. Hand and arm scars are constantly visible in professional and social settings. We focus on both aesthetic improvement and maintaining/ restoring function, using techniques that optimize appearance while preserving hand and arm mobility.
Tight scars limit movement and require release and revision. These scars pull and restrict normal motion. Treatment involves advanced laser techniques and/or surgical release of the contracture, strategic revision techniques, sometimes using tissue grafting or expansion to restore both function and appearance while eliminating the restrictive tightness.
Why Dermatologic Surgery for Scar Revision?
Not all doctors are trained in cosmetic scar revision. Board-certified dermatologic surgeons specialize in skin surgery with a focus on aesthetic outcomes and pain/discomfort relief.
Dermatologic surgeons complete advanced fellowship training in cosmetic procedures, skin anatomy, and optimal healing techniques that general surgeons do not receive. While plastic surgeons focus on reconstruction on various body parts, dermatologic surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques focusing on the skin, optimizing both appearance and healing. Dermatologic cosmetic surgeons are the true masters of advanced laser techniques, after all most medical lasers were invented by Dermatologists.
We have access to the latest laser systems for non-invasive scar improvement – technology most general practitioners don’t have. Additionally, our precision surgical techniques, strategic incision placement, and meticulous closure methods result in less visible scars and superior cosmetic outcomes for our patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about workers' compensation cosmetic scar revision
Yes. New Jersey workers' compensation covers medically necessary scar revision procedures when workplace injuries result in disfigurement or functional impairment. We work with your carrier to obtain authorization for scar revision that improves both appearance and quality of life.
Scars typically need a few months to fully mature before revision procedures. However, we can evaluate your scar earlier to develop a treatment timeline and begin non-invasive treatments like laser therapy or steroid injections while waiting for optimal surgical timing.
Please bring your workers' compensation claim number, any previous medical records related to your injury, photos of the original injury if available, and authorization for evaluation. We'll handle requesting authorization for treatment from your carrier.
Absolutely. We specialize in cosmetic and medical scar revision for highly visible areas where appearance matters most - face, neck, hands, and arms, etc. Our goal is to minimize the visible impact of your work injury while optimizing functional outcomes.
We can still help. Even older scars can be significantly improved with modern laser technology, surgical revision techniques, and combination treatments. Workers' compensation may still cover treatment if the scar is from a documented work injury.
