Scar Management Treatment
Scar Management
Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process after surgery, injury, burns, or cosmetic procedures. While scars are unavoidable, proper care can minimise their appearance, soften texture, and restore confidence.
At Bollin Clinic, we offer expert guidance, proven treatments, and advanced techniques including topical creams, silicone therapy, and microneedling to help your scars heal as smoothly and discreetly as possible.
Who Is It For?
Scar management is ideal for anyone who:
- Has surgical scars, whether cosmetic or reconstructive
- Wants to improve the appearance of traumatic or accidental scars
- Notices raised, red, or indented scars
- Wishes to prevent darkening or thickening of new scars
- Wants expert guidance on long-term scar care
This treatment is suitable for scars anywhere on the body face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, legs, or back.
The Procedure
Scar management is a non-invasive or minimally invasive process, tailored to your scar type and location.
Key approaches include:
- Topical Treatments - Silicone gels, sheets, and scar creams are applied to hydrate and flatten scars.
- Microneedling - Stimulates collagen production and improves scar texture, colour, and elasticity.
- Sun Protection & Massage - Protecting scars from UV rays and gentle massaging improves long-term appearance.
Timeline:
- Topical creams - Begin 1–2 weeks after wound closure.
- Microneedling - Typically performed 6–12 weeks post-healing, once the scar has matured.
- Daily care and follow-ups ensure the best results over 6–12 months of remodelling.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take for scars to fully heal?
Most scars continue to remodel for 6–12 months, gradually becoming softer, flatter, and less noticeable.
Can scars be completely removed?
Scars cannot be entirely erased, but their appearance can be significantly improved with topical treatments, microneedling, or combined approaches.
When should I start using topical creams?
Typically, once the wound has fully closed (around 1–2 weeks after surgery or injury).
When is microneedling safe for scars?
Usually 6–12 weeks after the scar has matured, to stimulate collagen without causing irritation.
Can scar treatments be used anywhere on the body?
Yes, face, neck, chest, abdomen, arms, legs, or back. Treatments are adapted to the scar’s size, type, and location.
How can I prevent scars from darkening?
Protect scars from UV exposure using sunscreen or clothing. Sunlight can cause hyperpigmentation in healing scars.
What if my scar is raised or thick?
Raised scars (hypertrophic or keloid) can respond to silicone therapy and steroid injections.
