Scarring
Common Skin Concern
Scarring
The skin is our body’s largest organ, protecting us from heat, light, and external damage. When injured, it naturally repairs itself — often leaving visible scars as part of the healing process.
The severity and appearance of scars depend on the wound’s depth, genetics, and overall health. While complete removal isn’t always possible, our advanced laser treatments can significantly reduce scarring and restore smoother, more even-textured skin.

Scarring
The skin protects us from external damage, and when injured, it heals naturally — sometimes leaving scars.
While complete removal isn’t always possible, our advanced laser treatments can significantly minimise scarring and restore smoother, more even skin.
What is Scarring?
Scars form as part of the skin’s natural healing response after injury. During repair, collagen rebuilds the tissue through inflammation, regeneration, and maturation — sometimes leaving raised, sunken, or discoloured marks.
While scarring is natural, it doesn’t have to be permanent. Modern laser treatments can soften texture and visibly reduce unwanted scars for clearer, healthier-looking skin.
What is Scarring?
Scarring occurs when the skin repairs itself after injury, forming new tissue to close and heal the wound.
This process can leave visible marks that appear raised, sunken, or discoloured, depending on the type of scar.
Types of Scarring
Types of Scarring
Atrophic Scars
Atrophic scars form below the skin’s surface, appearing indented or sunken due to collagen loss from conditions like acne. They include three main types: ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertrophic scars form above the skin’s surface, appearing raised and pink or red. They stay within the injury site and result from excess collagen production during healing but can fade with proper treatment.
Keloid Scars
Keloid scars are raised and extend beyond the original injury due to excess collagen. They can appear red or purple and may restrict movement. Please note, Laser Skin Aesthetics does not treat keloid scars.
Contracture Scars
Contracture scars form when large areas of skin are damaged, often from burns. They tighten the skin, limiting movement, and may affect deeper tissues. Treatment usually requires medical or surgical intervention.

Our Treatments for Scarring
Our Treatments for Scarring
Laser Scar Removal
Our advanced pico laser treatment targets scars by breaking down scar tissue, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin regeneration. Over time, it smooths texture and enhances overall skin tone for a clearer, more refined appearance.
Laser Rejuvenation
Uses Fraxel laser technology to resurface the skin, reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation while improving overall texture and tone for a smoother, rejuvenated complexion.
RF Skin Tightening
RF Skin Tightening uses radio frequency energy to trigger the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen to firm, lift, and smooth fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and enlarged pores.
Collagen Infusion
A restorative add-on treatment using microcurrent technology to infuse hyaluronic acid deep into the skin, boosting hydration and supporting collagen renewal.
LED Light Therapy
A gentle, non-invasive LED treatment that penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen, promote healing, and smooth scar texture — restoring clearer, more even-looking skin.
