Scar Revision

Scars can be a lasting reminder of injury, surgery, acne, or skin conditions. While some fade over time, others may become raised, sunken, or discoloured — affecting both appearance and self-confidence. At London Harley Street Clinics, we offer advanced scar revision treatments tailored to minimize the visibility of scars and improve skin texture. Whether you’re dealing with surgical scars, trauma scars, or acne scars, our expert-led approach aims to restore skin harmony.

Who is Scar Revision For?

Scar revision may be suitable for individuals who: Have visible or prominent scars from surgery, injury, or burns. Experience discomfort or tightness from scar tissue. Have keloid or hypertrophic scars that have grown beyond the original wound. Are self-conscious about acne scars or facial blemishes. Seek smoother skin tone and texture. Have scars that affect facial symmetry or movement

Scar revision can benefit both recent and older scars, though results depend on scar type, location, and skin condition.

Types of Scars Treated

We assess each patient’s skin and scar history to recommend the most suitable treatment. Common scar types include:

  • Hypertrophic Scars: Thick, raised scars that stay within the wound boundary
  • Keloid Scars: Overgrown scar tissue that extends beyond the original injury
  • Atrophic Scars: Sunken scars, often caused by acne or chickenpox
  • Contracture Scars: Often caused by burns; tight and may restrict movement
  • Pigmented Scars: Scars that are red, dark brown, or lighter than the surrounding skin

Treatment Options for Scar Revision

Depending on scar type and location, we may recommend one or a combination of the following:

Reduces pigmentation, flattens raised scars, and improves skin tone. Ideal for acne scars, keloids, and surgical scars.

Stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. Effective for acne and atrophic scars.

Used to soften and shrink hypertrophic or keloid scars.

Removes or repositions scar tissue. Often used for deep or contracture scars.

Non-invasive options for softening raised or pigmented scars over time.

Gently resurfaces the top layer of skin, reducing the appearance of discoloured or uneven scars.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery will vary depending on the treatment method

  • Non-surgical treatments like laser or microneedling involve minimal downtime, with mild redness or swelling that settles within a few days.
  • Surgical scar revision may require 1–2 weeks of recovery, with follow-up visits to monitor healing.
  • Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure, use prescribed aftercare products, and follow all wound care instructions for best results.

Potential Risks and Complications

As with any procedure, scar revision carries some risks, including:

  • Temporary redness, itching, or discomfort
  • Risk of infection (especially after surgical procedures)
  • Scar recurrence or pigment changes in rare cases
  • Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results

Your specialist will explain all potential outcomes during consultation.
