Answer: I would strongly recommend for you to come in to the Clinic for a complimentary consultation with one of our fully trained and experienced practitioners. They can then discuss your needs and concerns thoroughly with you and create a personal treatment plan, recommending the best option.
There are a few options available for scar revision including:
Dermal roller: Skin Needling with a dermal roller produces hundreds of tiny dermal injuries, each one triggering the normal healing response within the skin. Successive treatments build new collagen progressively, filling in depressed scars and deep lines.
RF Microneedling: Minimally invasive RF thermal energy creates fractional electrocoagulation in the dermis which facilitates a natural wound healing process (WHP). WHP promotes the remodelling of collagen and wound contraction, which improves scarring.
Co2 Laser Resurfacing: This method is very effective for older white scars. The Fractional CO2 and Erbium Lasers are particularly effective in the treatment of post traumatic, atrophic and acne scars. These lasers remove the very top layer of the skin and stimulate the growth of healthy new skin. When the new skin grows back it is smoother than before, and the appearance of the scar is normally reduced. Laser resurfacing may be riskier for individuals who have dark skin colours. Usually more than one treatment is necessary for maximum improvement
Steroid Injections: Can be administered into the hypertrophic or keloid scar. The raised scar tissue will become softer, flatter and whiter in colour, matching the surrounding skin. Steroid injections can improve symptoms such as itching or pain. Several sessions are usually required to produce good results.
The treatment recommended for you will depend entirely on the severity of your condition.
If you have any further questions or you would like to book an appointment for your complimentary consultation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Answer: Good Morning,
Thank you for reaching our to Vie Aesthetics. It is difficult to know if we can treat your keloid scars without having a consultation and seeing the concerned area. Keloid scarring is difficult to treat but we can offer treatments that could improve it.
I would advise to book in for a consultation with our doctor to discuss futher.
Thank you

Answer: Good morning Samie,
We provide steroid injections, however to go ahead with this treatment you will need an initial consultation with one of our Dr's so that they are able to assess your lesion and determine whether its suitable for the treatment.
Do let us know if you have any further queries regarding this.
warm regards,
