ACCIDENTAL SCARS

What Are Accidental Scars?

Accidental scars vary widely in type and appearance, depending on the depth of injury and skin healing. Common types include:

  • Hypertrophic scars – raised, red scars

  • Atrophic scars – depressed or indented scars

  • Keloids – thick, overgrown scar tissue

  • Post-surgical scars – linear incision marks that may thicken

  • Burn scars – pigmented, textured, or contracture-type

  • Minimal downtime for most procedures

  • Final outcomes depend on scar type and consistency of treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can accidental scars be completely removed?

Most scars can be significantly improved in appearance, texture, and color — but may not disappear 100%. The goal is smoother, flatter, and less noticeable skin.

Q2. How many sessions will I need?
 Most patients require 3–6 sessions, spaced 3–6 weeks apart, depending on scar age and depth.

Q3. Is the treatment painful?
 With topical anaesthesia (numbing cream), most treatments are well tolerated. Mild discomfort may occur but is temporary.

Q4. Will there be any downtime?
 Depending on the treatment:

  • Mild redness or swelling may last 1–3 days.

  • Laser or microneedling may cause temporary flaking or peeling.
