Whether your scars are the result of injury, surgery, acne, or burns, we’re here to help you take the next step toward feeling more comfortable in your skin.

What causes scars and how scarring forms

What are scars and why do they form?

Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process following injury, surgery, acne, or other skin trauma. When the skin is damaged, the body produces collagen fibres to repair the wound. The appearance and texture of scars can vary depending on how the skin heals.

Why are some scars more visible or problematic?

Several factors can affect how a scar forms, including the depth and size of the wound, location on the body, skin type, age, and genetics. In some cases, scars become raised, discoloured, itchy, or tight, leading people to seek professional treatment.

Tailored care for every scar type

The types of scars we treat

We treat many types of scars.

Contracture scars, often caused by burns, can cause the skin to tighten and limit movement. Hypertrophic and keloid scars are raised, with keloids extending beyond the original wound. Atrophic scars appear sunken, usually after acne or chickenpox. Acne scars – including ice-pick, rolling, and boxcar types – leave the skin uneven.

We can improve the appearance of scarring with ResurFX™, supported by chemical peel treatments and medical-grade skincare products.

Confidence restored

When to consider scar reduction treatments

Cosmetic concerns. Scars on visible areas, such as the face, neck, or arms, can significantly impact confidence and appearance.

Physical discomfort. Raised scars or those near joints may cause pain, itching, or restricted movement.

Emotional impact. Scars from trauma, surgery, or skin conditions can carry emotional weight. Treatment can improve appearance and support emotional healing.

Which scar reduction treatment is right for you?

Personalised consultation process: Your journey begins with a consultation where we evaluate your scar and medical history. We’ll recommend the most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

What to expect during and after treatment

Most scar treatments are minimally invasive and performed in our clinic. Depending on the method, sessions may take 30–60 minutes.

Some redness or sensitivity may follow treatment. We provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. Multiple sessions are often needed, with visible improvements developing gradually over weeks or months.

While scar treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, complete removal may not be possible. We aim to improve texture, colour, and overall appearance for a more even skin tone.
