The DC Method

The DC Method was built on scar revision protocols developed in 2006 by its CEO and founder, Linda Dunn-Carter, who began as an entrepreneur before her work moved into scar revision. The stated mission is to improve self-esteem and body confidence through scar revision.

Treatment starts by re-injuring older scars with Dermic Tissue Abrasion to kick off skin regeneration. Rather than traditional microneedling, the practice uses a specially designed pen with clusters of fine needles, and older scars are double exfoliated before the area is abraded and needled. Topical products after treatment may include low to medium percentage chemical peels, stem cells and vitamins, selected according to scar severity. Aftercare is a home regimen using Scar Food products, and healing typically takes three to seven days.

A visit starts with a consultation: clients complete a questionnaire and email clear photos, and a customized treatment plan is then delivered within three to five business days. The listed regular price for that consultation is $150.00. Return visits are booked every two to four weeks according to the plan, and patients are asked to commit to their full treatment series. A virtual post-op scar management series is available alongside the in-office series.

The business says its technique is backed by scientific research and client success stories, and it describes its treatments as proven and high in success rate. It also says thousands of patients have had life-changing results. Financing for scar services and training is offered through Cherry, a third-party buy now, pay later company, with 0% APR options subject to eligibility and interest-bearing plans starting at 5.99% APR. All sales are final, with a 7-day exchange subject to approval.

Scar revision based on a method the business calls scar revision essentialism, favoring natural methods over lasers and other technology.
