    Surgical Scar Removal Treatment in London

    Treat unsightly acne scars

    When we become injured, our wounds heal over time, but when scars form, it can serve as a permanent reminder.

    Scars come in a variety of different forms, including raised or recessed, and may take a range of different colours or textures.

    The appearance of scars may be unsightly, particularly when compared to the surrounding healthy skin. This can cause embarrassment or self consciousness when placed in particularly obvious parts of the body. Each scar is distinct, shaped by the nature of the injury and the characteristics of the skin it forms on. Predicting a scar’s appearance can be challenging. Although severe scarring is sometimes linked to poor healing, this isn’t always the determining factor.

    Each scar is unique, depending on how the injury was received, and the type of skin it formed on. It can also be difficult to discern how a scar may look, and while a poor healing process is sometimes a contributing factor to the appearance of severe scarring, this is not always the case.

    What is scar removal?

    At Dermasurge, we offer surgical scar removal to help minimise the appearance of scars to look more in line with the healthier skin tone and texture.

    As well as offering aesthetic improvement, reducing the appearance of scars can have a profound effect on the confidence and self-esteem of patients who seek treatment.

    Surgical scar removal may be performed under local anaesthetic.

    The scar will not be removed completely, but managed as best as possible in order to make the scar look less obvious.

    During the procedure, the scar is excised to achieve the most inconspicuous look possible. This can sometimes be over a course of multiple surgeries.

    At Dermasurge, we know that any decision to undergo surgical procedures is not a small one. This is why it is so important that all patients attend a thorough consultation with our consultant dermatologist, Dr Hiba Injibar, before any treatment takes place.

    The consultation will allow Dr Injibar to fully understand your goals and aims as well as tailor a treatment solution to suit you. All this whilst managing your expectations and answering any queries you may have.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the different types of scarring?

    Scars come in a range of forms, but by and large can be defined into the most common categories. Hypertrophic scars are red, itchy, and continue to grow after the healing process is complete. They usually mature into pale, flat scars. Keloid scars are similar, but are more painful, and continue to grow and spread. Atrophic scars stretch and widen after healing, and depressed scars are scars that heal lower than the normal skin level.

    What’s the downtime for a surgical scar removal?

    Surgical scar removal is a day case, and patients should be mobile almost immediately after the procedure. However, it is incredibly important for the healing process that Dr Injibar’s aftercare advice is followed exactly for optimal results. This includes keeping the area clean, dry, and free from infection. Patients should prepare for around a week away from work, or their usual daily routine for a week, and refrain from strenuous physical activity or exercise for 6 weeks post-procedure.

    Are there any side effects for a surgical scar removal?

    As with any surgical procedure, surgical scar removal carries the risk of complications and side effects, including moderate pain or discomfort for around 5 days after the procedure. During your consultation, Dr Injibar will ensure you fully understand the associated risks and downfalls to this treatment.

    Dr. Hiba removed a dermal piercing for me and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and completely honest throughout the entire process. Her professionalism and attention to detail gave me full confidence in her care.

    Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.

    Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.

    We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

    I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

    I’ve been attending Dermasurge for the past 4 months for laser and Botox treatments. The staff are all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. An excellent TEAM!
    Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
    My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
    I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.

    Everyone at this clinic is really nice and what I like most about Dr Hiba is that she did not try to sell me something, instead she listened to my concerns and recommended a treatment that had my best interests at heart. And i am very pleased with the results.

    I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

    My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

    Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

    The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
