Visible scars — whether from acne, surgery, or trauma — can linger long after the skin has healed. At Kovak Cosmetic Center in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, we specialize in advanced, non-surgical scar and keloid treatments designed to flatten, fade, and smooth the skin’s surface for a more even, refined appearance.
Scars form when the skin heals from injury, but excessive collagen production can lead to raised or pigmented scars — including keloids. At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we use a multi-modal approach including laser resurfacing, microneedling with RF, corticosteroid injections, and IPL therapy to target both the color and texture of scars.
Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, or keloids, our board-certified experts customize a treatment plan to break down excess scar tissue, stimulate new collagen, and improve skin clarity and smoothness over time.
After treatment, the area may be red, slightly swollen, or tender. This is a normal response as the skin begins breaking down old scar tissue and initiating repair.
✓ Mild swelling or redness at the treatment site
✓ No downtime for most treatments
✓ Early signs of tissue remodeling begin
The scar begins to fade in color and may appear flatter or less inflamed. Any crusting or dryness resolves, revealing more even skin beneath.
✓ Gradual softening and fading of the scar
✓ Reduced pigment and redness in the area
✓ Decrease in itching or tightness
Scar structure continues to change as collagen remodeling intensifies. The scar becomes smoother, flatter, and blends more seamlessly into surrounding skin.
✓ Smoother skin texture
✓ Visible reduction in scar prominence
✓ Enhanced comfort and appearance
With a complete series, scars become dramatically less noticeable. Keloids may shrink and remain controlled with periodic maintenance treatments.
✓ Long-term scar flattening and fading
✓ Boost in skin confidence and appearance
✓ Minimal recurrence with proper care
