Question 1

Can acne scars be treated too?

Accepted Answer

The approach differs by scar type. We separate depressed, red and raised ones.

Question 2

I still have acne — can I start scar treatment?

Accepted Answer

While inflammation remains we do not perform procedures. We settle the acne first.

Question 3

I have a keloid tendency — can I have a procedure?

Accepted Answer

You must tell us in advance. The procedure itself can enlarge the scar.

Question 4

How many sessions of scar treatment do I need?

Accepted Answer

It differs by type and depth. We do not fix the number of sessions from the outset.

Question 5

Is there anything to be careful of after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Sun protection and moisturising are the core. We restrict face-washing and make-up on the day.

Question 6

Do you also treat surgical scars or chickenpox scars?

Accepted Answer

We do. However, we judge by how hardened they are and by how long ago they formed.

Question 7

Will the red marks go away if I just leave them?

Accepted Answer

In many cases they fade with time. We do not rush into procedures.

Question 8

Can stretch marks be treated too?

Accepted Answer

The approach differs between the red stage and the white stage. Response is better while they are red.
