What Problems Can Mature Scars Have?

Scars that have healed and reached a plateau but remain problematic is common. Some scars can still be changed for the better months or years after the original injury or surgery. Modern regenerative and dermatological techniques allow us to remodel scar tissue, improving both appearance and texture, even years later

They may appear:

• Raised or thickened (hypertrophic scars)
• Indented or uneven (atrophic scars)
• Discoloured (red, pink, or darker than surrounding skin)
• Tight or restrictive

Treatment is highly individualised, but may include conservative measures and skincare to energy devices and further surgery. Often, the best results come from combining multiple approaches. We will discuss these with you at our comprehensive consultation.

Are Results Permanent?

Improvements in scar quality are long-lasting. However, the extent of improvement depends on factors such as:

• The type and age of the scar
• Your skin type
• The treatment approach used

Some patients may benefit from a course of treatments to achieve optimal results.
