What Scar Treatments are available?
Scarring can be a problematic issue for many people. Fortunately, there are several treatments available to reduce the appearance of scars. From silicone gel and tape to laser treatments, there is something for everyone. The goal of scar treatments is to reduce or eliminate the visibility of your scars over time.
Silicone Gel and Silicone Tape
Silicone gel and silicone tape are two of the most popular scar treatments available. Both products work by forming a protective layer over the scarred area, which helps to reduce redness, itching, and pain associated with scarring. Additionally, silicone gel can help to soften the skin around the scar, while silicone tape can help flatten raised scars.
Broadband Light Therapy
Broadband light therapy (BBL) is another treatment option for reducing the appearance of scars. This type of therapy uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to target areas of discoloration on the skin caused by scarring. The light breaks up pigmentation in the skin, allowing it to heal more evenly and reduce discoloration from the scar tissue.
Kenalog Injections
Kenalog injections are a type of steroid injection that can be used to treat keloid scars or hypertrophic scars. These injections work by reducing inflammation in the area around the scar, which helps to reduce its size and improve its appearance over time.
ProFrac Laser Treatment
ProFrac laser treatment is an advanced laser treatment that has been shown to reduce both redness and texture in scars caused by acne or other skin conditions. This type of laser treatment works by targeting specific areas of damaged skin cells with short pulses of energy that stimulate collagen production in the area around the scarred tissue. This helps to improve overall texture and tone in affected areas over time.
SCAR TREATMENT BENEFITS
Scar treatment can be a life-changing procedure for many people. It can restore the appearance of skin by giving it a more even tone and smoother texture. Scar treatments including scar removal and scar reduction are non-invasive and fast, with excellent results that can boost confidence levels.
The benefits of scar treatment vary depending on the type of treatment used, but some common advantages include:
- Improved appearance of scars, wrinkles, age spots, warts, and keloids
- Reduced risk of infection
- No anesthesia required

Procedure
Scar treatment procedures can vary depending on the type of scar and its severity. With silicone gels and tapes, a simple application is all that’s needed. Injections are simply that; much like a vaccination, the steroid is injected under the skin. The treatment is quick and relatively painless. Laser and light energy treatments are also low-impact. While they are generally painless, some patients report a sensation not unlike a rubber band being snapped while the device passes over the skin, with some redness akin to a sunburn shortly after treatment. This is common but temporary, and any swelling or redness caused by the treatments resolves quickly. Typical over-the-counter pain management may be used to manage comfort levels.
Recovery, Results, and Aftercare
Scar treatment recovery can vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment used. Generally, results can be seen within a few weeks after treatment.
Post-treatment life may include some downtime and avoiding strenuous exercise and hot baths for 2-3 days following the procedure. It is important to follow instructions for incision care and scar prevention, including keeping the area clean and dry, applying ointment or cream as directed, and wearing sunscreen outdoors. Depending on the type of treatment used, there may be expectations for maintenance, such as follow-up treatments or regular checkups with your doctor.
Scar treatment in Chelmsford can vary in terms of how long it takes to see results. Depending on the depth of the peel, it may take a few weeks or up to six months for the effects to show.
