SCAR TREATMENT

Acne scars can remain visible for years as indentations, uneven texture or redness. With a targeted acne scar treatment, your complexion can be improved depending on the scar type.

What types of acne scars are there?

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the skin's collagen structure. The main types are ice pick scars, boxcar scars and rolling scars – mixed forms are also common. Typical signs are sunken scars, uneven skin texture and redness or dark marks after acne.

Our treatment approaches for acne scars:

1. TCA CROSS: Targeted spot treatment for deep ice pick scars that also stimulates collagen production
2. CO2 laser: Especially suitable for boxcar scars and for improving skin texture and collagen production
3. Subcision: Releases tethered tissue in rolling scars and can lift sunken scars
4. Radiofrequency needling (RFN): Stimulates collagen production in mixed acne scars and improves skin texture
5. PRP needling: Combines microneedling with your own blood plasma and supports the regeneration of sunken acne scars

A C-section scar can remain visible or noticeable even after it has healed, for example through a pulling sensation, hardening, redness or an indented scar. A targeted C-section scar treatment can improve the scar's texture and appearance.

What makes a C-section scar special?

After a C-section, the scar can adhere to deeper tissue, harden or sink in. Redness and pigment changes are also possible. If these changes persist after the healing phase, a scar treatment after a C-section can be worthwhile.

Common concerns

• Pulling or hardening in the scar area
• Raised, red or discolored scars
• Indented areas or overhanging skin
• The wish for a less noticeable scar

Our treatment approaches for C-section scars

1. Subcision: Releases adhesions and can lift sunken scars
2. Collagen booster: Supports volume restoration and collagen production
3. Radiofrequency needling (RFN): Improves the scar's structure and texture
4. Cortisone injection: Suitable for raised and thickened scars
5. CO2 laser: Refines skin texture and the scar surface

Injury scars from an accident, a fall or a cut can heal in very different ways. Depending on the depth and the wound-healing process, scars may be flat, sunken, tethered or raised. Redness and discoloration are also possible.

What our patients often tell us

• Raised or bulging areas along the scar
• Sunken or uneven areas
• Persistent redness or discoloration
• A pulling or tethered feeling, especially with deeper wounds or scars over joints

Our treatment approaches for injury scars:

1. Vascular laser / IPL: Reduces redness in scars with many blood vessels
2. Radiofrequency needling (RFN): Stimulates collagen and improves skin texture
3. CO2 laser: Smooths uneven or raised scars
4. Cortisone injection: Suitable for raised and bulging scars
5. Subcision: Releases adhesions and can lift sunken scars – combined with a collagen or skin booster if needed
6. PRP: Supports regeneration and collagen production

Burns or surgery can leave raised, sunken or tethered scars. If the scar tissue contracts strongly and restricts movement, it is called a contracture scar.

What our patients often tell us

• A larger scarred area that visibly changes the appearance of the skin
• A feeling of tension or pulling, especially over joints or during movement
• Raised, hardened or uneven areas
• With deeper surgical scars: a feeling that the scar is attached to the tissue underneath

Our treatment approaches for burn and surgical scars:

1. Cortisone injection: Suitable for raised and hardened scars
2. CO2 laser & radiofrequency needling (RFN): Improve skin texture and unevenness
3. Subcision: Releases adhesions and can lift sunken scars – combined with a collagen or PN skin booster if needed
4. Vascular laser / IPL: Reduces redness, especially in newer scars

Many people carry scars from a time in their life that is long behind them, and still wish these scars were less noticeable in everyday life. At Kalia Lab, the focus is on your skin – not on the story behind the scar.

What matters with older scars

Whether light, dark, flat, raised or wide: which scar treatment makes sense depends mainly on the scar's age, structure and your skin's condition. The goal can be to visibly reduce the scar, improve its texture or even out its color.

What you can rely on

• Discreet, confidential consultation
• No unnecessary questions
• An individual treatment plan
• A realistic assessment of possible results

Our treatment approaches for self-harm scars:

1. CO2 laser: Smooths uneven scars and improves the skin's surface
2. Radiofrequency needling (RFN): Stimulates collagen production and improves structure and texture
3. Collagen booster: Can gently lift sunken scars
4. Cortisone injection: Can flatten raised and thickened scars
