Scar

30th March 2023

Answer: Hi Shazad,

There is something that can be done about this. It is worth mentioning at the outset that, nothing will completely get rid of either of these scars. That's not specific to your scars, but a general point about any scar

Once we put that on the table, it then becomes a question of the type of scar, and which treatment will be most effective at reducing the scar the most

You have a very aged surgical scar, and most aged scars respond well to microneedling. This treatment is effective in smoothing out texture and promoting tissue repair in your body so you heal the scar better. There is a downside for you though. The location of the scar being on the forehead, would, in our experience, restrict the improvements you can expect

The one caveat to all this would be, I am presuming the scar isn't a keloid scar. I presume this because of the fact that it's aged. But if it is keloid, we have very little in terms of treatments in our clinic, that we can do about them

These same points apply to your chicken pox scar.

If the scars are pigmented, then skin peels may also be suitable to improve their appearance

We'd welcome a chance to discuss the more specific details of your scars, and you can reach out on our profile (Smooth And SImple, Manchester)

We would advise that you come in for a consultation so we can have a look at your skin and advise what would be the best treatment for you. There is a £30 charge for the consultation and it is redeemable for any treatments/products you have with us.

Answer: Hi many thanks for your message. I am sorry to hear about your scar. Unfortunately this isn't something we can treat here. You will need to find a clinic who offers microneedling or similar as this will help to soften the scar. Please do your research before going ahead with any treatments. Sorry we couldn't help this time. Kind regards Emily

Answer: Hello Shazard,

Thank you for your email enquiry.
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.
Dermal Filler: Can be strategically placed to fill in depressed scars and deep lines.
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.
Our opening hours are:
Monday to Saturday 9-6pm

I look forward to hearing from you.
Lauren Waugh
Senior Receptionist
