Surgery Scar Treatments FAQ
What is a scar?
A scar is a natural part of the body’s healing process and is generally an area of fibrous tissue that results after an injury.
What is Laser Genesis?
Laser Genesis is a medical-grade laser used to break down scar tissue, minimize redness by shutting down the microvessels developed during healing, as well as improve discolouration. Read more about our Laser Genesis here.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses a pen-like device to create microscopic injuries in the skin which signal skin cells to form new collagen during the repair process. It is very effective at improving general skin texture as well as the remodelling of scar tissue.
What is scar camouflage tattooing?
Scar camouflage tattooing is a very specialized tattoo technique that should only be performed by the most experienced artists, especially when the result of cancer treatment. It is appropriately used to minimize the appearance of white scars and should NEVER be used to lighten a darker scar. Read more about scar camouflage tattoos here.
