Medical Professional In Lab Coat At Studio

Thank you for visiting HelpScars.com. We are professional Medical Doctors (MDs)who have dedicated our research and time to providing the best possible scar treatment advice available. No two people are alike and indeed no two scars are alike either. There is no one treatment that works best for everyone and for every scar.

Each year over 100 million people worldwide develop scars, many of which can cause severe deformity. We were always surprised how little education is provided during medical training on how to best help our patients with scars.

We also look into the genetics of the individual, location of the scar, age of the scar, skin type, age of the patient, previous interventions, and other co-morbidities that must all be considered. Collectively, with over 20 years of experience, we have studied the pathophysiology of scars in the laboratory (at the cellular and animal level) and have performed clinical research and literature reviews. We believe in practicing evidence based treatment. There is no one size fits all and all modern treatment plans must be customized to the individual.

We have created a patient/scar questionnaire that we will use to help decide what the optimal next steps are for you to have the best scar possible. We ask that you provide detailed answers where available so we can make the best decisions. In addition, we will ask you to provide hi quality pictures of the scars that are close up and also zoomed-out. We may ask you to provide pictures of other scars you may have. We charge a nominal fee of $40 for this service which is non-refundable. We may refer you to specialized physicians in your state/city for medical or surgical interventions (scar revisions, laser or injections) of whom will likely also require additional fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What do I get for the $40 registration fee?

We will analyze your scar pictures, assess your information provided, and then you get advice on what we would recommend the next steps to be to help provide you with the best scar possible. This may be a medical or surgical treatment, an over the counter substance, or advice on the type of doctor to consult with.

2Can you recommend a good scar doctor in my area?

We have a network of allied physicians and will do our best to help match one in your area if possible.

3Do you take insurance?

Our scar consult advice is not considered medical therapy or medical advice, and we therefore do not take any insurances. We have kept the cost as low as possible to help offer scar advice to as many people as possible.

4I have other questions before I consult - how can I ask them?

Submit general questions to help@helpscars.com. Please do not send any pictures or ask scar advice as this can only be answered after registering and therefore will be ignored.
