View profileWhat can realistically be done
Medical needling
Improves texture and colour of scars and stretch marks over a course.
Regenerative treatment
Supports remodelling, often combined with needling.
Laser
For redness in newer scars and texture in older ones.
What can't
No treatment removes a scar — anyone claiming otherwise is not being straight with you. Meaningful improvement, yes; invisibility, no.
What's going on
Scars and stretch marks are changes in the skin's collagen architecture. They mature and fade somewhat on their own over one to two years; treatment can accelerate and improve that, within honest limits.
Fresh pink marks respond better than old white ones — another reason early assessment matters. We will tell you at the first visit what degree of improvement is realistic for yours.
Why it happens
- Surgery, injury or pregnancy
- Growth spurts and weight change
- Individual healing tendency
- Early tension or sun on the healing scar
What a first visit involves
- Your history and what's bothering you, in your words
- An examination and an honest plan, with costs in writing
- No treatment at a first visit
