Raised scar treatments exert their effects primarily through their anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, involving the immune system’s activation to repair damaged tissues.
However, excessive or prolonged inflammation can lead to various medical conditions and symptoms, including hypertrophied or keloid scarring. This is like an overreaction to healing, where the body has produced an excessive amount of collagen to heal its wound, to the point where a convex, raised scar has formed from the surplus collagen, creating a lesion instead of a flat scar.
Here are some ways we can use scar treatment:
Scar prevention. When used as a pre-emptive measure, treatment can help reduce the risk of scarring, by minimising inflammation and excess collagen formation at the site of scarring. This might be done for a medical procedure or operation. By preventing excessive scar tissue, treatment promotes a smoother healing process and minimise the formation of raised or hypertrophied scars.
Scar reduction. Treatment can also address scarring that’s already occurred, working to minimise the appearance of raised or hypertrophied scars, including keloid scars. It breaks down and flattens the bulky scar tissue that was originally formed by excessive collagen production in response to healing.
It’s important to note that treatment for hypertrophic and keloid scars should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional such as your Cosmetic Doctor at Contour Clinics, who can determine the appropriate procedure and frequency to maximise effectiveness while minimising potential risks.
Prior to treatments for raised scars, careful assessment is essential to ensure safety and effectiveness.
It is recommended to have a detailed consultation with a qualified medical practitioner before proceeding. At Contour Clinics, we provide complimentary consultations with experienced doctors to discuss your suitability for treatment.
During your consultation, consider discussing the following factors:
Consultation and expectations: Clearly outline your goals and expectations, discuss treatment details, possible outcomes, and potential risks. This ensures realistic and personalised recommendations from your clinician.
Medical history: Inform your clinician about existing medical conditions, especially diabetes, immune disorders, or previous adverse reactions to medications, as these may influence treatment safety and eligibility.
Allergies: Disclose any allergies to medications, to help prevent potential adverse reactions.
Current medications: Provide information about prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements you’re currently taking.
Open communication and accurate medical information help ensure your safety and achieve optimal results.
When you arrive at Contour Clinics for treatment for hypertrophic and keloid scars, your appointment begins with a detailed consultation. Your cosmetic clinician will carefully assess your scar, determine its suitability for treatment, and discuss realistic expectations.
If your scar is identified as suitable, treatment can typically be administered during the same appointment. The procedure is generally quick and straightforward with minimal discomfort. Most patients find the treatment manageable without the need for additional pain relief.
A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled approximately four weeks later, allowing sufficient time for the treatment to take effect. At this review appointment, your clinician will reassess your scar and may recommend additional treatments to further improve its appearance.
At Contour Clinics, we’re committed to providing safe, ethical, and personalised cosmetic care. Our experienced doctors focus on delivering balanced, realistic consultations tailored specifically to your needs.
Book your complimentary consultation today to discuss suitability, cosmetic options and experience the patient-focused care that sets Contour Clinics apart. Individual results can vary, and your practitioner will guide you through what could be achievable for you.
