Surgical Scar Treatment

Introduction

Expert Care for Surgical Scar Reduction

Surgical scars form as part of the natural healing process after an operation or injury. While some scars fade over time, others remain raised, discoloured, or textured, affecting confidence and skin appearance. Various treatments can help improve the appearance of surgical scars by reducing redness, flattening raised scars, and promoting smoother skin.

Edgbaston Wellness Clinic offers expert surgical scar treatments using advanced techniques to enhance skin healing and minimise visible scarring. Our personalised approach ensures effective results, restoring smoother and healthier-looking skin.

Understanding Surgical Scars

Surgical scars can vary in size, shape, and texture depending on factors such as wound healing, genetics, and skin type. Some scars remain raised (hypertrophic), some become thick and extend beyond the original incision (keloid scars), while others may appear sunken or discoloured. Targeted treatments help improve their appearance and restore skin uniformity.

What is Surgical Scar Treatment?

Surgical scar treatment focuses on breaking down excess scar tissue, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin texture. A combination of techniques such as laser therapy, microneedling, steroid injections, or surgical scar revision may be used to achieve the best results.
