Scar treatment
How We Treat Them
Scars form as a natural part of the skin's healing process following injury, surgery, acne, burns, or infection. As the skin repairs itself, collagen fibres are laid down to close the wound — sometimes resulting in visible marks that differ in texture, colour, and elevation from the surrounding skin. Scars can be flat, raised, indented, or discoloured and may appear on any area of the body. While all scars are permanent to some degree, their appearance can be significantly improved with the right dermatological treatment — particularly when addressed early.
At Derma Skin Clinic, our dermatologists assess each scar individually — considering its type, age, size, location, and the patient's skin tone — before designing a targeted treatment plan. Whether you are dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, burn scars, or post-inflammatory marks, we apply the most clinically appropriate approach to improve your skin's appearance and restore your confidence.
Scar Assessment
ur dermatologist examines your scar in detail — assessing its type, whether atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid, or post-inflammatory — along with its age, size, depth, and location to determine the most effective treatment approach for your specific case.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, we design a treatment plan tailored to your scar type and skin tone. Treatment options may include microneedling, chemical peels, corticosteroid injections, silicone therapy, laser resurfacing referral, or a combination of approaches for optimal results.
Treatment Sessions
Most scar treatments require a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve the best outcome. Each session builds on the last, progressively improving scar texture, reducing discolouration, and stimulating healthy skin regeneration in the treated area.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Following your treatment course, we provide a personalised aftercare routine and maintenance plan to protect your results, support ongoing skin renewal, and prevent new scars from developing where possible.

Can old scars be treated or is it too late?
It is never too late to treat a scar. While newer scars generally respond more quickly to treatment, older scars can still be significantly improved with the right approach. Our dermatologist will assess the maturity of your scar and set realistic expectations about the degree of improvement that can be achieved.
