Scar Revision
At Tempus Belgravia, we understand the impact scars can have on your confidence. Whether from injury, surgery, or acne, our London clinic offers a range of scar revision treatments to help minimise their appearance and restore a smoother, more even skin texture.
What is Scar Revision?
Scar revision refers to a variety of treatments designed to improve the appearance of scars. These procedures cannot erase a scar completely but can significantly reduce its visibility, making it less noticeable and improving skin texture.
Benefits of Scar Revision
- Improved Appearance: Scar revision can significantly reduce a scar’s size, colour, and texture, making it blend more seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
- Increased Confidence: A smoother, more even skin tone can boost self-esteem and help you feel more comfortable in your skin.
- Reduced Discomfort: Scar revision can alleviate pain, itching, or tightness associated with certain types of scars.
- Improved Functionality: If a scar restricts movement, revision procedures can improve flexibility and range of motion.
Am I Suitable for Scar Revision?
Scar revision suitability depends on various factors, including:
- Scar Type: Different scars respond better to specific treatments.
- Scar Maturity: Older, well-healed scars are often more effectively treated than recent ones.
- Overall Health: Good health generally contributes to better healing.
During a consultation at Tempus Belgravia, our practitioners will assess your scars, discuss your medical history, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your individual needs.
