Scar Revision
Scars are a natural part of the bodies healing process
however they don’t always fade as seamlessly as we’d like.
At Laser Skin Centre, we understand that every scar tells a story, but you don’t have to live with them if they’re impacting your confidence or comfort. We offer a range of advanced scar revision treatments tailored to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin.
Types of Scars We Treat:
Scars come in various types and grades, each requiring a specific approach for optimal results:
- Atrophic Scars: These scars are indented or sunken, often a result of acne or chickenpox. They include rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scars.
- Hypertrophic Scars: These are raised scars that are typically red and can be itchy or uncomfortable. They often form due to excessive collagen production during healing.
- Contracture Scars: These occur when the skin pulls tight over a wound, often from burns or other serious injuries, leading to restricted movement.
- Acne Scars: Usually a mix between post Inflammatory hyperpigmentation and Atrophic scars
Treatment Plans and Expectations:
The number of treatments required varies depending on the scar type and severity. Generally, patients undergo between 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Each session is designed to progressively improve the appearance of your scars, enhancing your skin’s texture and tone over time.
Consultations Are Key
Before starting any treatment, a thorough consultation is essential. During your consultation, our skilled dermal therapists will evaluate your scars, discuss your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan to ensure the best outcomes.
