While medical procedures aim to treat various conditions, they can sometimes leave lasting changes to the skin. These changes may occur following treatments such as radiotherapy or certain cosmetic or medical procedures, affecting both skin texture and appearance.

Scars from Medical Procedures

comprehensive scar management

How they look and feel

Different medical procedures can lead to distinct types of scarring:
Radiation-Related Changes:
+ Firm, thickened skin texture (radiation fibrosis)
+ Skin that may feel tight or less flexible
+ Visible colour changes in the treated area
+ Changes in skin sensitivity
Changes in skin sensitivity
Effects from cosmetic or medical treatments:
+ Areas of lighter or darker pigmentation
+ Uneven tone or patterned marking
+ Textural changes to the skin surface
+ Possible indented or raised areas
Each person's response to medical procedures varies, influenced by factors such as treatment type, skin characteristics, and individual healing patterns. Understanding these changes helps guide the most appropriate approach for improving their appearance.

Our Treatment Approach

Scars and skin changes resulting from medical procedures, including radiation fibrosis and post-procedural scarring, require a highly personalised and multimodal approach.

For radiation-induced fibrosis, treatment aims to improve skin mobility, release deep tissue fibrosis, and restore function while ensuring that vascular supply is not compromised. These scars often involve structural changes, changes in scar colour, including vascular alterations and thickened, less pliable tissue, requiring specialised care.

Depending on the severity, treatment may include techniques to soften fibrotic tissue, laser revision to remodel the skin and underlying structures, and topical treatments to support healing and regeneration.

*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.
