Scar revision and reductions

Scar Revision at Adelaide Skin Therapy

Comprehensive Scar Revision for Smoother, Healthier Skin

At Adelaide Skin Therapy, we specialise in scar revision treatments that are tailored to your unique needs. Scars can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness, but with our advanced techniques, we can significantly improve their appearance. Whether your scar is the result of surgery, injury, acne, or another cause, we offer a range of treatments designed to address its texture, color, and severity.

Why Scar Revision Matters

Scars are a natural part of the healing process, but they can sometimes heal in ways that leave noticeable marks on the skin. The sooner scars are treated, the better the chances of reducing their visibility. Our scar revision treatments are designed to smooth out the texture of the scar, blend its color with the surrounding skin, and improve overall skin quality.

Our Scar Revision Techniques

At Adelaide Skin Therapy, we use a combination of cutting-edge technologies to address various aspects of scar formation and healing:

– Morpheus8: This advanced microneedling and radiofrequency treatment targets deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and remodeling scar tissue. Morpheus8 is particularly effective for improving the texture and firmness of scars, making them less noticeable over time.

– Dry Needling: Also known as micro-needling, dry needling involves creating micro-injuries in the scar tissue to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to smooth out the scar and improve skin texture.

– Lumecca IPL: Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is ideal for treating discoloration in scars. It targets pigmentation, reducing redness or dark spots associated with scars, and helps to blend the scar’s color with the surrounding skin.

– Aerolase: Aerolase laser therapy is a versatile treatment that can address both the texture and pigmentation of scars. It uses gentle laser energy to stimulate collagen production and reduce the visibility of scars, making them appear softer and more uniform with the rest of your skin.

Customised Treatment Plans

Every scar is unique, which is why we customize our treatment plans based on the specific characteristics of your scar. During your consultation, we will assess the texture, color, and severity of the scar to determine the most effective combination of treatments. Some scars may require a single treatment method, while others may benefit from a multi-modal approach.

The Importance of Early Treatment

For optimal results, it is recommended to start scar revision treatments as soon as the scar begins to form. Early intervention can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, making them less prominent as they heal. However, even older scars can benefit from our advanced revision techniques.

It’s best to start scar revision treatments as soon as the wound has fully healed and the scar has begun to form. This typically occurs a few weeks after the injury or surgery. Early treatment can lead to better outcomes in reducing the scar’s visibility.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the scar’s size, depth, and type. Some scars may show improvement after just one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the recommended number of sessions

Most scar revision treatments are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. For procedures like microneedling or Morpheus8, we apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. You may experience mild redness or swelling after the treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
