Information · Scar Treatment
Will the scar disappear?
We cannot promise that.
The aim is to improve characteristics such as depth, relief, texture, thickness or adherence.
Old scars?
They can also be assessed. The age of the scar is only one of the factors considered.
First we classify the scar. Then we choose the approach.
Frequently asked questions
Does it hurt?
It depends on the technique. Topical or infiltration anaesthesia or local nerve blocks may be used.
How many sessions?
It depends on the type and extent of the scar, the technique used and the response.
How long is the recovery?
It depends on the treatment. There may be redness, swelling, tenderness, crusts, peeling or temporary pigmentation changes.
Is CO2 better?
There is no universal treatment. More aggressive does not necessarily mean better.
Can a keloid come back?
Keloids carry a risk of recurrence and require their own approach.
What are the risks?
They depend on the technique and may include pigmentation changes, infection, texture changes, unfavourable healing or recurrence.
Which treatment do I need?
You do not need to choose the technology.
