Scar Revision

Scar Removal & Treatment Dermatologists

Treatment options to help reduce the visible appearance of scarring through our dermatologists’ extensive range of laser treatments.

Scar revision, also known as scar correction surgery, refers to improving the appearance of a scar. For a surgical scar there are a number of surgical options. For acne scarring, which tends to be more diffuse, treatment usually combines other modalities to reduce how visible the scarring is.

These modalities may include laser and other ablative treatment options, radiofrequency, fillers, and manual procedures to release the scars, often used in combination.

Types of Scars

Our dermatologists can help revise surgical scars; those resulting from abdominoplasty surgery, acne scarring, breast or body surgery (including Caesarean-sections), flame or chemical burning, keloid scars, nose surgery, skin cancer or mole removal scars, stretch marks, facial scars including those from facelift surgery, and transplants.

Scar Revision Treatments

• Ablative Lasers – These lasers work best on acne scarring, elevated scars, trauma scars and surgical scars. It works by removing the top layer of the scar, as well as stimulating new collagen production, called ‘dermal remodelling’.
• Dermabrasion – This employs the use of a machine to remove the top layers of the scarred area of skin. As the skin surface heals the scars become less obvious.
• Dermal Fillers – This procedure is effective for atrophic scars or depressions. It uses hyaluronic acid to decrease the depth in the skin.
• Surgical Procedure – A simple surgical procedure such as subcision can improve the appearance of any visible scarring.
• Topical Treatment – By using tape, pressure applications, dressings, gels or ointments, our dermatologists can help treat and prevent scars from developing.
