Scar Treatment

Yes, scars can be treated even many years after they form. While older scars may require more sessions or a combination of treatments to achieve optimal results, our advanced techniques are designed to address scars at any stage of maturity.

Yes, individuals with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI) are more prone to developing keloids or hypertrophic scars due to increased collagen production. However, effective treatments are available for all skin types, customised to minimise the risk of complications.

Scar treatments aim to significantly improve the appearance, texture, and flexibility of the scar, but they may not completely remove it. Results vary depending on the scar type, size, and treatment method.

Yes, combining treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and steroid injections often enhances results. During your consultation, our specialists will recommend the best combination for your specific scar type.

Each scar is unique, and the best treatment depends on factors like the scar’s type, size, location, and age. Our specialists conduct a thorough consultation and assessment to tailor a plan that suits your needs.

Yes, using techniques like silicone sheeting, pressure therapy, and corticosteroid injections early in the healing process can help minimise scar formation. We provide preventative care plans for patients undergoing surgery or recovering from injuries.

Most treatments, such as microneedling or laser resurfacing, involve minimal discomfort. Local anaesthetics are applied before procedures to ensure your comfort, and any post-treatment sensitivity is temporary.

Results depend on the treatment type and scar severity. Some patients see improvements after their first session, while others may need a series of treatments spaced over several weeks. For example, fractional laser resurfacing typically requires 3–4 sessions for optimal results.

Yes, hypertrophic and contracture scars that restrict movement can be treated with surgical revision, fractional laser, or silicone sheeting to restore flexibility and mobility.

If a scar recurs, additional treatments or preventive measures like steroid injections or silicone therapy can be applied. Our team will work with you to modify your treatment plan for the best long-term results.

Yes, aftercare is crucial for achieving the best outcomes. Depending on the treatment, you may need to use saline washes, apply antibiotic ointments, avoid sun exposure, or wear silicone sheeting. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided after your session.

Absolutely. Factors such as smoking, poor diet, and lack of sun protection can hinder the healing process and affect results. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following all post-treatment advice to optimise outcomes.
