Living with scars

Scars are part of life. They can come from surgery, accidents, acne, or even childhood injuries. For some, scars are a reminder of resilience; for others, they feel like an unwanted mark that draws attention or affects self-confidence.

Scar revision is not about erasing the past , no treatment can make a scar vanish completely. What it can do is soften its appearance, blend it more naturally into the surrounding skin, and in many cases make it far less noticeable.

Why people seek scar revision

Patients often share very personal stories when they come to see me about their scars. Some avoid wearing certain clothes, others hide behind makeup, and many simply want to feel more comfortable in their own skin again. Scar revision is often less about vanity and more about peace of mind.

Different types of scars

Not all scars are the same, and that’s why the approach must be tailored.

  • Hypertrophic scars: raised, red, and thick, but confined to the wound area.
  • Keloid scars: similar to hypertrophic but grow beyond the original wound edges.
  • Atrophic scars: sunken scars, often from acne or chickenpox.
  • Contracture scars: caused by burns, which tighten the skin and may limit movement.

Each type behaves differently and requires a different treatment strategy.

Options for scar revision

There isn’t one single procedure called “scar revision” , it’s a collection of techniques. Depending on the scar, the treatment might involve:

  • Laser therapy: helps reduce redness, smooth texture, or soften raised scars.
  • Surgical excision: removing the scar tissue and closing the wound carefully to heal in a finer line.
  • Steroid injections: flatten raised or keloid scars.
  • Dermabrasion or peels: improve the surface of acne or rough scars.
  • Skin grafting or flaps: in severe cases, especially for burn scars

Sometimes, a combination is used for the best outcome.

The procedure and recovery

For smaller scars, treatment may take only 30 minutes under local anaesthesia. More complex revisions can take longer and may require general anaesthesia.

Recovery depends on the method. Lasers or peels may leave the skin red for a few days, while surgical excision might need stitches and a couple of weeks for healing. The final improvement is usually seen after several months, as scars continue to mature and fade.

What results to expect

It’s important to be realistic: scar revision doesn’t make scars disappear completely. Instead, it aims to make them less visible and help them blend into your natural skin tone and texture. For many patients, even a 50% improvement feels life-changing.

Scar revision: FAQs

No, but it can significantly improve its appearance, making it blend more naturally with surrounding skin.

Almost all types , from acne scars to surgical and burn scars. The approach varies for each.

Non-surgical methods are usually very tolerable. Surgical revisions are done under anaesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure.

Laser and injection treatments may need only a day or two. Surgical options take longer, with results improving gradually over several months.

Some improvement is visible quickly, but the full benefit is usually seen as the new scar matures , often over 6–12 months.
