WHAT IS HYPERTROPHIC SCAR REVISION?

Hypertrophic scar revision is a specialist treatment designed to improve raised, thickened scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound. These scars can develop after surgery, injury, burns, or acne and may appear red, firm, or uneven. Treatment aims to flatten the scar, reduce redness, improve texture, and restore a more natural skin appearance. Options may include steroid injections, laser therapy, silicone treatment, microneedling, or minor surgical revision depending on the severity of the scar. At London Harley Street Clinics, our specialists provide tailored scar management plans focused on safe, gradual, and natural-looking improvement.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Smooth Eye Laser exceeded my expectations! I was tired of looking tired, and this treatment worked wonders for my under-eye bags and wrinkles. The recovery was minimal, and the results are natural yet noticeable. I couldn’t be happier!

Quick answers to questions you may have

Hypertrophic scars stay within the original wound area, while keloids extend beyond it.

 

They can often be significantly improved, but complete removal is not always possible.

Most treatments are minimally uncomfortable and often performed with numbing when needed.

This depends on scar size and response to treatment.

Our specialists use advanced scar management techniques to safely reduce scar thickness, improve texture, and enhance overall skin appearance with personalised treatment plans.
