Scar removal
Most people have scars they probably wish they didn’t have and depending on where they are they can have a dramatic affect on your appearance.
Scars can be caused by many different things and the most common reasons are as follows:
- From an injury to the skin: If we get a big enough cut it is likely to scar as part of the natural healing process.
- Acne: People who suffer from bad acne often develop ugly scars.
- Tattoo removal: People who have had tattoo removal can often be left with scars.
- Skin grafts: This is often used during surgery.
- Fire damage: Anyone involved in any sort of fire accident is likely to have scarring.
There are various treatments for scars and often a combination of techniques are used to get the best results. Scar removal techniques are unlikely to remove the scar completely but typically a 50 – 60% improvement in appearance is achievable.
Scar removal methods:
- Laser scar removal: This is a recent development in scar removal and involves the use of a laser. The laser is normally applied for around 30 minutes and 4 treatment sessions are normally required. For more information on this treatment you can read the following guide: Laser scar removal explained
- Microdermabrasion: This is basically an intense exfoliation which is often used in conjunction with either laser or IPL treatments. Microdermabrasion helps encourage the production of collagen and elastin which helps the skin heal.
- IPL Scar removal: IPL stands for intense pulsed light and can help treat scars that have pigmented blemishes.
Scar removal is not an exact science and not everyone responds well to treatment. You will need to have a consultation to see if you are suitable for the procedure and also to discuss how likely you are to respond to treatment. To get the best scar removal results you will often have to have a range of different skin treatments.
Scar removal cost:
The cost will depend on what treatment you require and this will be based on the size and type of the scar. To get good results the minimum price is likely to be around £1000 and this will be higher if you need multiple treatment types.
