Pioneered by Dr. Sire, saline injections are a safe, nearly painless and highly effective way to treat scarring of the skin. Saline injections are effective on shallow atrophic and "rolling type" scars. Saline injections can also be used prior to other procedures to reduce the amount of surgical trauma caused by a more aggressive procedure such as dermabrasion or laser resurfacing. Results can last a year or longer but can be extended through maintenance injections.
Saline is injected into a scar. Each treatment takes 10-15 minutes to complete.
For most patients, the results are seen gradually in about ten treatments.
Bi-monthly treatments are recommended
for best results.

Dr. Sire and his team have treated over 350 patients with this technique over the past six years with excellent results.
The saline treatment is helpful for the patient who has little time to recover and does not wish to appear "treated." Following saline injections, recovery is fast and normal activities can be resumed immediately. Temporary swelling and redness immediately following treatment will subside within a few hours.
