Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scarring/Scars?
Scarring, also known as scars, refers to the natural healing process of the skin after it has been injured or wounded. When the skin is damaged, the body works to repair the affected area by forming new collagen fibers. Collagen is a fibrous protein that provides strength and structure to the skin. During the healing process, the new collagen may be slightly different from the original skin tissue, leading to the formation of a scar.
Scars can vary in appearance, size, and texture depending on the type and extent of the injury or trauma. Some scars may appear flat and pale, while others can be raised, discolored, or sunken. Additionally, scars can be a result of various factors, such as surgical incisions, burns, acne, injuries, or skin conditions.
While scars are a natural part of the healing process, they can sometimes cause self-consciousness and affect one’s confidence. However, there are various effective treatments available at SKIN COSMETICS LONDON that can help reduce the visibility of scars, improve skin texture, and enhance overall skin appearance, leading to a smoother and more even complexion.
What steps are involved in Scarring/Scars treatment?
At SKIN COSMETICS LONDON, our treatment approach for scarring and scars may involve a combination of procedures and techniques tailored to each individual’s specific needs. The steps involved in scar treatment can include:
Consultation: During the initial consultation, our experienced specialists will assess the type and severity of the scar, as well as your skin type and medical history. This evaluation will help determine the most suitable treatment plan for you.
Non-Surgical Options: We offer various non-surgical treatments for scars, such as laser therapy, microneedling, and chemical peels. Laser therapy can help improve scar texture and reduce redness, while microneedling stimulates collagen production, promoting smoother skin. Chemical peels can help in cases of mild scarring by removing the outer layer of damaged skin, encouraging new, healthier skin to emerge.
Surgical Solutions: For more extensive scars or those resistant to non-surgical treatments, our skilled surgeons may recommend surgical procedures, such as scar revision or skin grafting. Scar revision involves removing the old scar tissue and rejoining the skin with meticulous techniques to create a less noticeable scar. Skin grafting involves transplanting healthy skin to the scarred area to improve its appearance.
Post-Treatment Care: After any procedure, it is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by our specialists. This may include keeping the treated area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and using recommended skincare products to aid the healing process.
Follow-Up Sessions: Depending on the type of treatment used, multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
It is important to note that individual responses to scar treatments can vary, and not all scars can be completely removed. However, our advanced and customized treatments aim to significantly improve the appearance of scars, enhancing skin texture and boosting self-confidence.
How does Scarring/Scars treatment work?
At SKIN COSMETICS LONDON, the treatment of scarring and scars involves various techniques and procedures that aim to improve the appearance and texture of the affected area. The specific approach will depend on the type and severity of the scar, as well as your individual skin characteristics. Here are some of the common treatments we offer for scarring and scars:
Laser Therapy: Laser treatment uses focused beams of light to target the scar tissue. The laser energy stimulates collagen production and breaks down the scar tissue, leading to improved skin texture and reduced redness. Different types of lasers may be used based on the scar’s characteristics.
Microneedling: Microneedling involves using a device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin, which helps to improve the appearance of scars.
Chemical Peels: Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layer, encouraging new skin growth. Superficial scars and skin irregularities can be improved with the use of chemical peels.
Scar Revision Surgery: For more significant or deep scars, scar revision surgery may be recommended. During this procedure, the scar tissue is excised, and the wound is carefully closed to create a more aesthetically pleasing scar. Skin grafting may be considered in some cases, where healthy skin is transplanted to the scarred area.
Dermal Fillers: Dermal fillers can be used to fill in depressed scars, such as acne scars, restoring volume and creating a smoother skin surface.
Overall, the goal of scarring and scars treatment is to promote collagen remodeling, improve skin texture, and minimize the appearance of scars. The choice of treatment will be personalized to your unique needs and desired outcome, and our experienced specialists will guide you through the best options available for achieving smoother and more even skin.
Why should I treat my Scarring/Scars?
Treating scarring and scars can offer several significant benefits and improve both the physical appearance and emotional well-being of individuals. Here are some compelling reasons why you may consider treating your scars:
Improved Appearance: Scarring can be a source of self-consciousness and affect one’s self-esteem. Treating scars can lead to a more even skin texture, smoother complexion, and a reduction in the visibility of scars, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
Enhanced Skin Texture: Scarring can cause the skin to become uneven and rough. Treatment options like laser therapy, microneedling, and chemical peels can help smoothen the skin’s surface and promote collagen production, leading to a more refined and youthful appearance.
Increased Self-Confidence: Addressing visible scars can have a positive impact on your self-confidence and body image. Feeling more comfortable in your skin can empower you to engage in social interactions and activities without the worry of being self-conscious about your scars.
Scar Prevention: Early intervention and treatment can prevent some scars from becoming more prominent and difficult to treat in the future. Seeking professional advice and starting treatment as soon as possible after an injury or skin trauma can minimize long-term scarring.
Reclaiming Skin Health: Scar treatments not only improve the appearance of scars but can also promote healthier skin overall. Procedures like microneedling and laser therapy stimulate collagen production, leading to better skin elasticity and resilience.
Versatile Treatment Options: There are various treatment options available, ranging from non-invasive procedures like laser therapy and microneedling to surgical scar revision. This means that there is likely a suitable treatment for your specific type of scarring, regardless of its size or severity.
Ultimately, seeking treatment for your scarring and scars can offer emotional and physical benefits, helping you achieve smoother, more even skin and boosting your self-confidence. At SKIN COSMETICS LONDON, our experienced specialists can guide you through the most appropriate treatment options tailored to your unique needs and goals, ensuring you receive the best care and achieve the desired results.

What results can I expect to see?
The results of scar treatment can vary depending on the type and severity of the scars, as well as the chosen treatment approach. Some of the potential outcomes you can expect to see after undergoing scar treatment at SKIN COSMETICS LONDON include:
Reduction in Scar Appearance: Scar treatments can help reduce the visibility of scars, making them less noticeable and blending them more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Smoother Skin Texture: Certain treatments can improve the texture of the scarred area, making it smoother and less raised or indented.
Improved Skin Tone and Color: Scar treatments may help even out the color and tone of the scar, minimizing any discoloration or hyperpigmentation.
Enhanced Skin Elasticity: Some treatments promote collagen production, which can enhance the skin’s elasticity and overall appearance.
Increased Self-Confidence: Successfully addressing scars can boost your self-esteem and confidence, allowing you to feel more comfortable and at ease with your skin.
It is important to note that individual results may vary, and multiple sessions of certain treatments may be required to achieve optimal outcomes.

How long will the results last?
The duration of results after scar treatment can vary depending on the type of treatment and the individual’s skin condition. Some treatments may provide long-lasting results, while others may require periodic maintenance sessions to sustain the improvements.
For example, treatments that stimulate collagen production, such as laser therapy or microneedling, can continue to enhance the skin’s appearance over time as collagen remodeling occurs. In these cases, the results may gradually improve and last for several months to years after the initial treatment.
Other treatments, such as injectable fillers for depressed scars, may provide immediate results that can last for several months, but eventually, the body will naturally metabolize the filler, and additional sessions may be necessary to maintain the improvement.
It is essential to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by your specialist and protect your skin from sun exposure to prolong the benefits of scar treatment. Regular skin care and a healthy lifestyle can also contribute to maintaining the results over time.
During your consultation at SKIN COSMETICS LONDON, our experts will discuss the expected duration of results based on the specific treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and the type of scars being treated. We aim to provide you with the most effective and lasting outcomes for scar improvement to help you feel more confident in your skin.
