Scar Removal
A range of treatments that reduce the visibility and texture of scars from injury, surgery, or acne.
What is Scar Removal?
Scar removal, more accurately scar reduction or revision, uses treatments such as laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, or in some cases surgical scar revision, to improve the appearance, texture, and colour of scars from injury, surgery, or acne. Your practitioner assesses the type, age, and characteristics of your scar to recommend the most effective treatment approach, since different scar types, raised, indented, discoloured, respond best to different techniques. Treatment is generally a gradual process, often involving a series of sessions.
Why is this procedure performed?
- A visible scar from injury, surgery, or acne
- Raised, indented, or discoloured scarring
- A desire for smoother, less noticeable skin texture
- Scarring affecting confidence in your appearance
- A tailored approach based on your specific scar type
How does this procedure help?
Targeted scar treatment can significantly improve the appearance, texture, and colour of scars, helping them blend more naturally with surrounding skin, even though complete removal is not always achievable depending on the scar's characteristics. Your practitioner sets realistic expectations based on your specific scar type and provides a treatment plan matched to achieving the best possible improvement. Many patients see meaningful, confidence-boosting improvement over a course of treatment.
