Scarring can affect a person’s confidence and self-esteem, particularly when the scars are on the face. Common facial scars that affect many people include acne and chicken pox scars.
Other deeper or larger scars may be as a result of trauma, disease or previous surgeries.
Additionally, some scarring does not heal the way we expect it, producing raised, red scars (often growing outside of the original injury site) known as keloid scars. The commonest areas for keloid scars are on the front of the chest and over the shoulders. They are also more common in people with very dark skin.
Another type of scar is known as an atrophic scar where the scar tissue is indented or sunken away from the level of the normal skin surrounding it, this is common with acne scarring.
Depending on the type of scar and the way an individual heals there are a variety of options for improving the appearance of scarring.
Your Scarring ( Acne, Keloid, Atrophic Scars ) Questions
Real Questions from Real People - Answered
Straightforward answers to the questions people like you are asking right now about Scarring ( Acne, Keloid, Atrophic Scars ).
Steroid injections.
Do you offer steroid injections for keloids? I have a small one on my ear and it's really irritating me and I want an injection. I've had them done before previously and it worked very well but this was pre-Covid. And I got this piercing done about two years ago after my first round of injections stupidly
Keloid treatment.
Do you offer any procedure with keloid? I am not actually sure if it is or is not. I would prefer to come for a consultation just to see what my options are. I had a perching and had to removed it because it’s grown. Just do not like it and would like treatment to get rid of it or lasered off.

Emma Sharples
"I have a facial scar which I despise and it affects my confidence. I have seen a few plastic surgeons who said they could not help me. I had almost given up hope when I decided one last time to try and do something about it and contacted Alisha who was very understanding and suggested we try a few methods of treatment. So I had 3 sessions of radio frequency microneedling which was the first step. I then had Botox which relaxed the muscle where the scar sits and then finally I had a small amount of filler where I had lost density around the scar. The scar is now much flatter and I am able to cover it better with makeup. For the first time in 5 years I am feeling much more confident. The scar is now barely noticeable. The skin across my whole forehead has also benefitted from these treatments and it’s taken about 5 years off which was an unexpected benefit! I can’t thank Alisha & Rach enough you are both so lovely and friendly and I will definately recommend you to anybody who is interested in scar treatment or just looking to improve the appearance of their skin"
Nigel Raj, Weybridge
"Dr Beata carried out treatment on my keloid scars - She made me feel very comfortable in that she explained to me the treatment process, as well as being calm and collected, as well as listening to my feedback, so things were handled very professionally!"
Lucy Hamilton, Weybridge
"I would highly recommend Eternal Face & Body clinic. Beata is always contactable, highly professional and put me at ease with my scars, explaining the treatment options available (laser scar removal at different depths) and letting me choose the course of action - and how many treatments/what products she recommended without being pushy.
Would highly recommend her services and Eternal Face & Body clinic (which is lovely, airy and clean).
