LASER TREATMENTS
Scar Improvement
Scars form when the skin is damaged, whether from injury, surgery, or acne, and the body heals with fibrous tissue. While scars are a natural part of the healing process, they can leave lasting marks that affect both appearance and confidence. Laser treatments for scar improvement can help minimise the appearance of scars by breaking down scar tissue and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.
Types of Scarring
Acne Scarring
Both atrophic (depressed) and hypertrophic (raised) acne scars can leave lasting marks on your skin. Our treatments can help smooth uneven texture and reduce the visibility of these scars.
Cesarean Section Scars
C-section scars, whether raised, indented, or discoloured, can be treated to blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Surgical Scars
Whether from cosmetic procedures or medical surgeries, treatments can help improve the texture, colour, and visibility of surgical scars.
Scars from Injury
Accidental cuts, burns, or trauma can leave behind visible reminders. We can help minimise their appearance and support your skin’s natural healing process.
Stretch Marks
While technically not scars, stretch marks respond well to many of the same treatments, helping to improve skin tone and texture.
FAQs – Scar Improvement
How does laser scar treatment work?
Laser scar treatment uses focused light to break down scar tissue and stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of new, healthy skin cells.
Can laser treatments remove scars completely?
While laser treatments can significantly improve the appearance of scars, complete removal is unlikely. The treatment works by reducing the scar’s size, colour, and texture.
How many sessions will I need for scar improvement?
The number of sessions depends on the size, type, and depth of the scar. Most patients see noticeable improvement after 3–6 sessions.
Are all types of scars treatable with lasers?
Yes, laser treatments are effective for a wide variety of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, burn scars, and keloid scars.
Is laser scar treatment painful?
There may be some discomfort during the procedure, but most patients describe it as a tolerable, warm sensation.
What is the cost of laser scar treatment?
The cost of laser scar treatment depends on the size and severity of the scar and the number of sessions required. A personalised consultation will provide a detailed estimate.
How long do results last after scar laser treatment?
Results are generally long-lasting, but additional sessions may be required for maintenance or further improvement.
Can laser treatment improve keloid scars?
Yes, laser treatments can help flatten and reduce the redness of keloid scars, though they may need to be combined with other treatments for optimal results.
Is there downtime after laser scar treatment?
There is minimal downtime, but some redness, swelling, or slight bruising may occur after the treatment.
What should I avoid after the treatment?
Yes, laser treatments are highly effective for improving the appearance of pimple scars, smoothing the skin and evening out pigmentation.
