hemangiomas can be removed with surgery or by using laser treatment. Both procedures are safe and effective. In many cases laser treatment is preferable because it does not typically leave a scar. Hemangioma removal is usually covered by insurance.

Depressed scars can be improved by removing the scar surgically – usually in the office. Skin fillers can also be used to improve most depressed scars in an easy, immediate, and quick way. Advanced lasers or dermabrasion can also be used to treat skin areas with depressed scars, such as in acne scarring cases.

While it's possible to tattoo over most scars, doing so is more challenging than tattooing over unscarred skin. So, it's important to use an experienced tattoo artist who's comfortable tattooing over your scar or incorporating the scar into the tattoo design.

Scars improve over time at-least 1 year or more. If they do not improve then plastic surgery consultation may be sought. Scars can be improved by surgery but not deleted. Once the scars form they are mature in 8 months to a year and generally they do not disappear.
