SCAR TREATMENT

If you have scarring which may have been caused by burns, injury, surgery, acne or chickenpox, there are many options available to improve its appearance. People are often very conscious of visible scars and their self-confidence may be affected as a result.

Scar treatments do not guarantee complete removal of the scar, but aim to make it less obvious. They can also help to reduce tightness caused by the scar tissue. The colour and type of your skin, your age and the type of scarring influence how much improvement you can expect.

As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important that you review your expectations thoroughly before you decide to proceed. Your specialist will explain the results you can expect, and will discuss the associated risks and alternatives to the procedure before going ahead.
