Effective Scar Removal in London

At Harley Street Medics, we offer medically guided scar removal treatments in London tailored to reduce acne scars, surgical marks, trauma-related scars, and more. Using advanced technology and expert-led care, we help you achieve smoother, clearer, and more confident skin.

Understanding Scars

Scars are the skin’s natural response to injury — forming as part of the healing process after acne, surgery, burns, trauma, or even cosmetic treatments. While some scars fade over time, others remain raised, depressed, discoloured, or texturally uneven, making them more noticeable and often a source of self-consciousness.

At Harley Street Medics in London, we approach scar treatment medically and personally — understanding that each scar tells a different story. That’s why we offer custom treatment plans that target the scar’s specific texture, colour, and depth — helping you achieve smoother, clearer, and more confident skin over time.

Types of Scars

Atrophic Scars

These sunken or depressed scars form when there is a loss of collagen during healing — most commonly seen with acne scars or chickenpox. They may appear as ice-pick, boxcar, or rolling indentations in the skin. Atrophic scars are most noticeable on the face and are often resistant to fading without professional treatment.

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised, firm scars that remain within the boundary of the original injury. They often appear red or pink and may feel itchy or tight. While they can improve over time, they usually benefit from targeted treatments to flatten and soften the tissue.

Keloid Scars

Keloids are thick, raised scars that extend beyond the borders of the original wound. They are more common in darker skin tones and may continue to grow long after the wound has healed. Keloids can be sensitive, itchy, or even painful, and often require a combined treatment approach.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Not technically a scar, but often treated alongside scarring, PIH appears as dark patches following injury, acne, or inflammation. It is most common in medium to darker skin tones and can persist for months. PIH is caused by excess melanin production and is treatable with brightening and resurfacing methods.

What Happens During My Online Consultation?

Your online consultation at Harley Street Medics in London  is designed to give you expert guidance before starting treatment. During the session, a medically trained practitioner will assess your scar type using photos or video, ask about your skin history, and discuss your goals. Based on this, we’ll recommend suitable treatments and give you realistic expectations around results, number of sessions, and pricing. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions about aftercare, healing time, and how soon you can start. The consultation is simple, confidential, and takes just 10–15 minutes — with no pressure to commit.

Scar Removal Procedure at Harley Street Medics

At Harley Street Medics in London, our scar removal procedures are completely tailored to your skin type and the nature of your scars. Whether your concern is acne scarring, trauma-related marks, or surgical scars, we offer a personalised, medically led approach using advanced aesthetic technologies.

Consultation & Scar Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, either online or in person. We assess the type of scar (atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid, or pigmented), your skin’s healing history, and any past treatments. Based on this, we build a bespoke plan to improve both texture and tone.

Treatment Approach

Depending on the scar type, we may recommend a single treatment or combination of methods such as microneedling, CO₂ laser resurfacing, steroid injections, chemical peels, or skin boosters. Each is selected for its ability to stimulate collagen, reduce redness or pigmentation, and smooth the skin’s surface over time.

Procedure Experience

Most procedures are non-surgical, with sessions lasting 30 to 60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort. The process is precise, controlled, and designed to minimise downtime while maximising results.

Aftercare & Recovery

Post-treatment, you may experience mild redness, flaking, or sensitivity depending on the method used — typically resolving within a few days. You’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions to support healing, avoid complications, and extend your results. Follow-up sessions may be scheduled based on your progress.

Treatment Options for Scar Removal

CO2 Laser Resurfacing

This fractional laser treatment removes damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen production deep within the skin. It’s highly effective for smoothing acne scars, surgical scars, and deep textural irregularities. CO₂ laser also helps fade pigmentation and tightens surrounding skin, making it ideal for long-term rejuvenation.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering natural collagen repair. It’s especially beneficial for atrophic (depressed) acne scars and uneven skin texture. Over a series of sessions, it gradually improves tone, firmness, and scarring depth.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin’s surface to reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation and superficial scarring. We use medical-grade peels in varying strengths depending on your skin sensitivity and scar severity. These are ideal for improving skin clarity and smoothness with minimal downtime.

Steroid Injections

For hypertrophic or keloid scars, steroid injections help flatten raised tissue by reducing inflammation and collagen buildup. This treatment softens thick, red, or itchy scars and is often done in a short series for progressive improvement.

Skin Boosters & Topical Therapy

Hyaluronic acid-based skin boosters or medical-grade topical products can improve hydration, elasticity, and post-scarring pigmentation. These are often used alongside primary treatments to support healing and refine results over time.
