Scars can develop noticeable colour changes that differ from your natural skin tone. These pigment changes can be particularly concerning when they occur in visible areas, affecting confidence and self-image in social situations.
Scars with Pigment Changes

Welcome!
A warm welcome to Scarless - The Clinic.
How they look and feel
Scarring can alter your skin's pigmentation in two main ways:
+ Hypopigmented scars:
Lighter than surrounding skin, appearing pale or white
+ Hyperpigmented scars:
Darker than surrounding skin, ranging from tan to dark brown
These colour changes commonly occur following:
+ Surgical procedures
+ Deep skin treatments
+ Burns or traumatic injuries
+ Inflammatory skin conditions
While not classified as pigmented scars, some scars can appear red, ranging from pink to purple. This is typically due to increased vascularity rather than pigmentation changes. Immature scars, inflamed scars, and certain pathological scars often fall into this category and may also be itchy, sensitive, or painful, especially in the early stages of healing.

*All medical procedures carry inherent risks and potential complications. A thorough consultation and clinical assessment are required to determine suitability for treatment. Individual outcomes may vary.
Our Treatment Approach
Because scars with pigment and vascular changes vary widely, treatment is always personalised and multimodal, combining different techniques to achieve the best possible results. Scar pigmentation treatment may involve topical therapies to help regulate pigmentation or reduce inflammation, chemical peels for hyperpigmented scars, and a range of laser therapies targeting both pigment irregularities and vascular components. Laser-facilitated drug delivery can further enhance treatment efficacy, alongside other therapeutic or surgical modalities tailored to individual needs.
Empowering scar recovery
Each plan is carefully tailored based on skin type, scar characteristics, and overall skin health to support both aesthetic and functional outcomes. While complete scar pigmentation removal may not always be possible, many patients see meaningful improvements in tone and colour through personalised treatment.
*All procedures carry risks, and individual responses to treatment can vary. While we use evidence-based techniques to significantly improve the appearance and texture of scars, it is important to understand that some degree of scarring will always remain, and complete scar removal is not possible.
