The London Cosmetic Clinic is proud to offer safe and effective treatments to help with scar concerns. We can treat all varieties of scar such as keloid, acne, hypertrophic and stretch marks. The available treatments include steroid injection, microneedling, filler injection, laser treatments, chemical peel and scar revision. All procedures are performed by an experienced cosmetic doctor or a specialised aesthetic therapist.
Chemical peels are agents which lift the epidermis in a controlled manner. This reveals younger skin and treats certain skin conditions including superficial acne scars. Various chemicals can be used depending upon the requirements from the peel. Caution is exercised particularly for dark-skinned individuals, those susceptible to keloid formation and those with active infections.
Filler injections of can be used to temporarily raise atrophic scars to the level of surrounding skin.
Corticosteroids are injected into the scar to reduce any swelling to flatten the scar. Depending on the type of scar, the corticosteroid injection may need to be repeated. Two or three injections are usually given a month apart, although this type of treatment may have to continue for longer, depending on how the scar reacts to the injections.
This specific type of steroid for scar treatment is injected into the scar itself. As very little is absorbed into the blood stream, side effects of this treatment are minor. This treatment is repeated at 4-6 week intervals.
The London Cosmetic Clinic offers effective scar reduction treatments with the Ellipse Nordlys Laser/SWT system. This method is ideal for new or red/pink scars and can drastically reduce redness whilst stimulating collagen and elastin. We usually recommend between 1-3 sessions, however this is dependent on the nature of the scar.
Sometimes, surgery can improve the appearance of scars.
Scar revision is a process of cutting the scar tissue out. After the excision, the new wound is usually closed up in order to heal. Deeper cuts need a multi-layered closure to heal optimally, otherwise depressed or dented scars can result.
Microneedling is a procedure that stimulates the skin to regenerate and repair itself naturally and safely. It can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, pitted scars and stretch marks.
Please find out more about microneedling from our treatment list menu.
Repeat in 4 weeks. Up to 4 sessions required.
