Scars are permanent marks that form after surgery or skin trauma as your body heals itself by producing excess collagen. While they play a natural role in wound repair, scars can appear on the surface or internally and may vary in appearance.

Common types of scars include:

• Hypertrophic scars – raised and red

• Pitted scars – sunken and uneven

• Keloid scars – extend beyond the original wound

At Dermadoc Hammersmith, we offer safe, effective and non-surgical options for scar revision therapy to help reduce the visibility of your scars and restore skin confidence.

Scar Healing Treatments Available in Hammersmith

If you don’t like the way your scar looks or if it’s causing you discomfort, there are treatment options:

Silicone Sheets
Silicone sheets can be bought at your pharmacy. Placing them over a healing scar helps reduce inflammation. For best results, they should be worn all day for at least three months.

Pressure Dressings
Stretchy, elastic bandages that can be used with silicone sheets to help smooth scars.

Corticosteroid Injections
Used to flatten hypertrophic or keloid scars by softening excess scar tissue.

Laser Treatment
Laser beams can target scars to break up excess scar tissue.

Dermal Fillers
Injections that fill out pitted scars to smooth the skin’s appearance.

Derma Pen / Microneedling
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment stimulates collagen production to help improve the look of scars.
