The Patient Journey:
Non-Surgical Scar Removal in London

If we’re confident that a scar can be improved, we’ll suggest a suitable treatment option during your consultation, whether surgical or non-surgical. For many patients, particularly those with acne scarring, burn scars or hypertrophic scarring, we begin with non-surgical options such as BBL (BroadBand Light) laser, ProFractional laser, or medical-grade creams and silicone gels designed to flatten, fade, or smooth the scar over time.

There are cases where a will likely yield the best outcome, and we can perform the procedure under local anaesthetic using specialist plastic surgery techniques. This may be recommended due to complications during initial healing or if we’re confident we can improve the appearance of the existing scar. We often combine this with treatments, such as laser therapy, to further refine your result over time.
