Post-surgical scars can be a reminder of a healing journey, but they don’t have to be a permanent source of concern. Whether your scar is fresh or old, there are a variety of advanced treatments available to help reduce its appearance and promote smoother, healthier skin. At our clinic, we offer a range of effective modalities, including microneedling, RF needling, Excel V laser, and PicoSure laser, to address your unique scar concerns.

A Tailored Treatment Plan for Your Scars
Every scar is different—its size, depth, age, and location all play a role in how it responds to treatment. That’s why we take a customized approach to scar treatment. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, the type of scar you’re dealing with, and your skin goals. From there, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed to give you the best possible results.

Treatment Options for Post-Surgical Scars:
Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth out the texture of scars and improves skin tone. Microneedling is particularly effective for older scars and shallow tissue scars.
RF Needling

Radiofrequency (RF) needling combines the power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver heat deep into the skin. This not only stimulates collagen production but also tightens the skin. RF needling is especially beneficial for thick or raised scars, such as hypertrophic scars. The heat from the RF energy helps remodel the scar tissue and soften its appearance.
Excel V Laser

The Excel V laser uses a precise green light to target and reduce the redness and vascularity often associated with scars. It works by breaking down blood vessels that contribute to scar discoloration, making it a great option for red or purple scars, especially post-surgical scars. The laser also stimulates collagen production, helping improve skin texture over time.
PicoSure Laser

The PicoSure laser is a picosecond laser that delivers ultra-fast pulses of light to break down pigment and stimulate collagen growth. It’s a fantastic choice for discolored scars and can also help smooth rough, raised scars. The gentle yet powerful nature of PicoSure allows it to treat both old and new scars without causing excessive damage to the surrounding tissue.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Most patients will need a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results. The exact number of treatments will depend on the severity, age, and type of the scar.

Some post-surgical scars may respond faster to treatment, while others, especially older scars or scars that are more deeply embedded in the skin, may require a longer course of treatment. Our team will closely monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan to ensure you’re getting the best possible results.

What to Expect Post-Treatment
After your treatment, you may experience some mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, especially after microneedling or RF needling. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours to a day.

It’s essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner, which typically includes using a gentle moisturiser, applying SPF, and avoiding direct sun exposure for a few days. Results will gradually appear over time as your skin produces new collagen and remodels the scar tissue.
