SCAR TREATMENT IN NYC
At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s regenerative aesthetics and longevity practice in New York City, scar treatment is approached with both medical precision and artistic care.

​
Scar treatment may involve surgical or non-surgical techniques depending on the scar’s age, depth, and tissue quality. Most patients benefit from non-invasive options that promote healing and collagen remodeling without extensive downtime.
Dr. Hazen creates personalized treatment plans based on the cause, location, and type of scar. Whether from surgery, trauma, burns, or acne, each scar tells a unique story, and each requires a tailored approach.​

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Even scars that are several years old can respond well to modern treatments. Dr. Hazen uses advanced techniques such as laser therapy, microneedling, and surgical revision to remodel tissue, reduce discoloration, and restore smoother texture.
Can old scars really be improved?
Dr. Hazen treats a wide range of scars, including surgical scars, traumatic scars, acne scars, burn scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloids. Each type requires a customized approach to achieve optimal results.
What types of scars can be treated?
Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments include: - Laser therapy for redness, pigment, and surface smoothing - Microneedling or Morpheus8 for collagen remodeling - Exosome or PRP therapy to enhance healing and regeneration - Topical treatments and scar gels including Zen Essentials Scar Cream. - Taping, massage, and compression therapy
What are the non-surgical options for scar treatment?
Raised scars (hypertrophic or keloid) can be treated with injections of corticosteroids or other medications to flatten and soften them over time. Laser therapy may also help reduce color and improve texture.
What if my scar is thick or raised?
Yes. For deep or complex scars, surgical scar revision may be recommended. This involves carefully excising and re-closing the scar to create a thinner, more refined line. Dr. Hazen often combines surgery with laser or microneedling to optimize healing and minimize visibility.
Is surgical scar revision an option?
Results vary by treatment type, but most patients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks to a few months as collagen remodeling occurs. Deeper treatments, such as laser resurfacing or surgical revision, may take several months for full results to develop.
How long does it take to see results?
While both treatments stimulate collagen, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin (up to 4mm). This produces more significant tightening and contouring effects than traditional microneedling, which only treats the surface.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Downtime depends on the procedure. Non-invasive treatments like lasers and microneedling typically involve mild redness for a few days, while surgical revision requires a short recovery period. Dr. Hazen will discuss what to expect based on your treatment plan.
Is there downtime after scar treatment?
With her background as a board-certified plastic surgeon and regenerative aesthetics expert, Dr. Hazen combines surgical precision with a holistic understanding of skin healing. Her approach focuses on longevity, tissue health, and natural aesthetics, ensuring scars are not just minimized - but harmonized with your skin.
