What Is It?
Scar revision improves the appearance of scars left by injury, surgery, or skin conditions. It can involve surgical excision and re-closure, steroid injections for hypertrophic scars, laser treatment, dermabrasion, or silicone therapy. The approach depends on the scar type, location, and age.
How It Works
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are treated with intralesional steroid injections, laser (Nd:YAG, PDL vascular laser), and silicone sheeting. Atrophic (depressed) scars are treated with subcision, filler, and fractional laser. Wide or poorly positioned surgical scars can be excised and re-closed using advanced closure techniques.
Realistic Results
A 50–80% improvement in scar appearance is achievable depending on the scar type, age, and location. Complete scar removal is not possible — any surgical revision will itself leave a scar, ideally a better one.
Recovery
Varies by modality — steroid injections and laser have minimal downtime; surgical excision requires 7–14 days of wound care.
Risks & Complications
- !Recurrence of hypertrophic or keloid scarring after treatment
- !New scarring from surgical revision
- !PIH in darker skin types after laser or excision
- !Incomplete improvement if scar biology is unfavourable
Red Flags — Choose a Clinic Safely
- ⚑Active keloid treated with surgical excision alone without steroid and radiation adjuncts
- ⚑Provider promises complete removal of the scar
- ⚑No histological assessment when the scar has unusual features
- ⚑Treatment starts too early — scars should fully mature (12–18 months) before surgical revision
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- What type of scar do I have, and what is the recommended treatment?
- Is my scar mature enough for revision, or should I wait?
- What improvement percentage can I realistically expect?
- For keloids: what post-operative prevention do you use to reduce recurrence?
- How many treatments will be needed?
