DON’T LET SCARS DIM YOUR GLOW OPTIONS FOR SCAR REMOVAL AND REVISION
Nothing says summer like flawless, glowing skin. And while it’s not quite summer yet, if there is a scar distracting from your summer skin’s glow, February is the perfect time of year to take care of it. Scars come in as many varieties as the wounds they heal — some are pink and concave, some are raised, some are red. As such, the path back to natural beauty will look different for each person. Once formed, a scar will never disappear completely, but there are options to correct irregular pigmentation and texture. In less severe cases, all a scar needs is topical treatment like creams, gels, taping, or strategic compression to ensure the wound heals smoothly and to decrease abnormal pigmentation. However, depending on the size and severity of your scar, Dr. Burgdorf might also recommend treatments like chemical peels to remove the top layer of skin and expose the new skin underneath, or a bleaching agent to help even out your skin tone. If your scar is raised, we offer steroid-based injections that prevent your body from synthesizing collagen. We also offer injections of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that work to thicken the skin underneath the scar to improve its appearance.
Microneedling, sometimes also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is another treatment option we offer to reduce the visibility of your scar. This method harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities by using tiny needles to create a controlled injury, which induces the body to produce skin-healing compounds like elastin and collagen. Surgery is only needed in the most severe cases. It might sound counterintuitive, but February is the perfect month to start thinking about your summer glow. Come in and consult with Dr. Burgdorf about minimizing your scar’s appearance. Call 615.567.5716 to book your consultation today.

THE PRISONER
A PERFECT WINTER RED
If you haven’t already taken the time to snuggle up with a glass of The Prisoner this winter, don’t let the season pass you by! The Prisoner is a smooth red blend featuring Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Syrah and Charbono grapes. Inspired by the “mixed black” wines made by the Italian immigrants who originally settled Napa Valley, this wine is well-blended and soft. It has a long finish, which gives you plenty of time to enjoy the harmonious blend of raspberry, boysenberry, pomegranate, and vanilla. This wine features a 15.2% ABV and is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels. It features hints of Bing cherry, dark chocolate, clove, and roasted fig. The Prisoner has high tannins — pair it with a red meat like lamb for optimal enjoyment!
