Scar Types

  • 1. Acne, Injury & Surgical Scars

    Scarring can vary in appearance and texture depending on its cause. Treatment aims to support the appearance and feel of scarred skin, with the approach tailored to your individual scar following assessment.

  • 2. Keloid Scars

    Keloid scars are raised scars that may develop following acne, injury or surgery and can be associated with physical discomfort, tenderness or irritation. Keloid treatment aims to address both the appearance and discomfort of keloid scarring using a range of treatment options, selected according to the type, size and location of the keloid.

What To Expect

  • 1. Scar Appearance

    Scar treatment may help support the reduction of scar tissue, contributing to a smoother skin surface and improved overall appearance of scarred areas over a course of treatments. For keloid scars, treatment may help reduce the visible size, thickness and redness of the scar.

  • 2. Skin Comfort & Texture

    Treatment may help soften and remodel scar tissue, which may assist in improving skin comfort, flexibility and texture in scarred areas. For keloid scars, treatment may also help alleviate associated discomfort, tenderness and irritation.

  • 3. Professional Assessment

    Scarring varies widely between individuals. A thorough consultation and assessment by a qualified practitioner helps determine whether treatment is appropriate for you and which approach is most suitable for your scar type and circumstances.

  • 4. Tailored to Your Individual Needs

    All treatment plans are personalised to your specific scar type, size and location, ensuring the most appropriate approach is recommended for you.
