Surgical scars can be a lasting reminder of medical procedures. While they are a natural part of the healing process, their appearance can often be unsightly and bothersome. At Shire Aesthetics, we offer advanced surgical scar removal treatments designed to improve the appearance of scars, providing effective solutions to help your skin look its best.
Types of Surgical Scars
Understanding the different types of surgical scars can help you better manage and treat them. The most common types of surgical scars include:
- Hypertrophic Scars: Raised and red scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound. They can improve over time but may require intervention.
- Keloid Scars: These scars grow beyond the original wound site and can become large and difficult to manage, often needing specialised treatment.
- Atrophic Scars: Sunken or pitted scars that commonly occur after procedures like acne surgery.
Advanced Treatment Options for Surgical Scar Removal
Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fractional laser skin resurfacing uses laser technology to create microscopic injuries in the scar tissue, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and collagen production. This treatment effectively resurfaces the skin, improving its texture and reducing the visibility of scars. By promoting the formation of new, healthy skin cells, fractional laser skin resurfacing can significantly improve the skin’s appearance.
Laser Scar Treatments
Laser scar treatments utilise focused light therapy to break down scar tissue and stimulate healing. The laser precisely targets scar areas without damaging surrounding healthy skin, making it effective for various types of scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. This treatment promotes the regeneration of healthy skin, reducing the appearance of scars with minimal downtime.

What types of scars can be treated at Shire Aesthetics?
We offer treatments for a variety of scars, including surgical scars, acne scars, hypertrophic scars and keloid scars. Our non-invasive laser treatments are designed to effectively treat scars without the need for scar revision surgery.
How does laser treatment improve the appearance of a scar?
Laser treatments work by targeting the scar tissue and stimulating the body’s natural healing process. This helps to break down and remove scar tissue, promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. As the skin surface heals, the appearance of the scar is significantly improved.
Is laser treatment effective for a keloid scar?
Yes, our laser treatments can effectively treat keloid scars by breaking down the excess scar tissue and preventing further growth. This non-invasive approach avoids the need for more invasive procedures like skin grafts or flap surgery.
Will laser treatments affect the surrounding skin?
Our laser treatments are precise and target only the scar tissue, leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. This ensures that the treated area blends seamlessly with the healthy skin around it.
Do I need a plastic surgeon for surgical scar revision treatment?
No, our non-invasive laser treatments are performed by skilled professionals and do not require the involvement of a plastic surgeon. At Shire Aesthetics we focus on non-surgical methods to treat scars and improve the skin’s appearance.
