Apart from the physical damage, it can also impact self-esteem and quality of life.The good news is that we have a range of scar-kicking cosmetic treatments to rebuild your skin’s original appearance. Giving you clear, scar-free skin and restored confidence.

What is a Scar?

A scar is a growth of tissue that forms to heal and repair damaged skin. Your skin is like a protective cloth – when wounded or injured, it repairs itself, and the evidence of that is in the appearance of scars. Scars become visible after the healing process and manifest in various shapes and sizes, for example, raised above the skin or pitted and sunken. Keloid scars occur when excess collagen develops to heal the wound. They keep growing even after the wound has healed and tend to grow outside the boundaries of the injury. The most common type of scar is the hypertrophic scar, similar to Keloid scars, except they grow inside the wound and heal naturally. Fortunately, even the most stubborn scars can disappear with an effective scar removal treatment.

What causes Scars? 

Scars occur when the skin repairs itself from damage or injury. It comprises an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin when injured. They form when the inner layer of skin (dermis) breaks, and the body produces new collagen fibres to repair that damage. This new tissue will have a different appearance and skin texture from the surrounding areas. Damage can result from accidents, external injuries, surgeries, or skin conditions like diseases, or acne.
