What Types of Scars Can We Treat?

At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we treat a wide wide range of scars, from raised scars, acne and surgical scars to traumatic scars and pigmentary changes. Every scar is unique, which is why our approach is tailored to the cause, depth, and location of your concern.

Acne Scars

Including boxcar, rolling, ice pick, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Custom protocols often involve laser + subcision + TCA CROSS.

Surgical Scars

From mole removals to C-section scars, surgical excisions or skin cancer surgery sites.

Trauma or Injury Scars

Hypertrophic, keloid, or indented scarring from accidents, burns or wounds.

Pigment Scars

Dark marks left behind after skin inflammation due to post-inflammatory erythema, often mistaken for true scarring.

Stretch Marks (Striae)

Laser and RF-based therapies to stimulate collagen and fade their appearance.

Scar Treatment Options

We use the most advanced scar revision tools available in Australia to address acne scarring. Your treatment plan may include one or a combination of these modalities below, depending on the scar’s type, age, and location.

Subcision & Surgical Excision

Releases tethered scars and removes deep pits ideal for boxcar and ice pick scarring.

TCA Cross

A high-strength acid precisely applied to encourage collagen remodelling in deep, narrow ice pick cars.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing (LaseMD, ResurfX, Fractional Erbium/CO2)

Resurfaces damaged skin and stimulates collagen to improve the texture, depth, and tone of scars.

Ablative CO2 & Erbium Lasers (eg Joule, UltraPulse, Dynamis)

This laser scar treatment delivers intensive resurfacing to vaporise scar tissue and trigger new collagen formation, which is highly effective for deeper, more severe acne scars and overall skin rejuvenation.

Vascular Lasers (eg DermaV, ExcelV)

Significantly reduces redness and improves skin clarity by targeting dilated vessels and uneven tone.

Pigment Lasers (eg Enlighten Picosecond, BBL Heroic, M22)

Light-based therapy to fade dark marks and post-inflammatory pigmentation from scarring.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

Combines microneedling with heat energy to remodel deeper scars and tighten surrounding tissue.

Scar Prevention Post-Surgery

Early laser treatment and topical interventions to support smooth healing and minimise long-term, post-surgical scarring.

Advanced Home Care Topicals

Medical-grade creams and serums are designed to accelerate skin healing, boost collagen renewal, and reduce pigmentation, which is essential for maintaining and enhancing results between treatments.

What to Expect During Your Scar Treatment Journey

Initial Consultation

A thorough consultation with our specialist team, including detailed skin and scar assessment. We may perform skin imaging and recommend supportive pre-treatment skincare.

During Treatment

Depending on the treatment modality, one session takes between 20–60 minutes. Numbing cream and, in some circumstances, other forms of pain-relief medications are offered for comfort. You’ll receive personalised post-care advice to support recovery.

Post-Treatment

Mild redness, swelling, or flaking is common for a few days. Most treatments have minimal downtime. If you incur complications, there is a very small risk of infection. But you’ll be reviewed regularly to minimise the likelihood of this happening, assess results and optimise your plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all acne scars be treated?

Most scars, even atrophic scars or difficult scars, can be improved significantly, but results vary by type, depth, and individual skin response. Our dermatologists tailor effective treatments to maximise your results.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients, regardless of whether they have lighter or darker skin, require a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your dermatologist will map out a personalised plan.

Is laser scar treatment painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. Patients typically describe the treatment as a warm, tingling sensation.

Is there downtime?

Yes, depending on the modality used. Mild redness and flaking may last 2–7 days. Deeper resurfacing may require more downtime, especially if surgical procedures have been performed.

When will I see results?

Improvements are gradual, typically beginning after your first treatment and building over 2–3 months as collagen regenerates.

Unsure What Treatment You Need?

We know scar treatment can be overwhelming and not all scars need lasers. That’s why we offer complimentary consultations with our Clinical Dermal Therapist team.
