Understanding Different Types of Scars

There are several types of scars, each requiring different approaches for treatment. Here’s a look at some of the possible scars that we treat:

Acne Scars: Common in individuals who have suffered from severe acne, these scars can be atrophic (also known as pitted or depressed acne scars) or hypertrophic and keloid scars. Acne scar removal focuses on improving the skin’s texture and reducing the visibility of scars.
Hypertrophic Scars: These scars are thick, raised, and remain within the boundaries of the original wound. They are caused by excess collagen production during the healing process. Hypertrophic scarring can result from surgeries, injuries, or burns.
Keloid Scars: Similar to hypertrophic scars but more severe, keloid scars extend beyond the original injury and are often larger. They are caused by the overgrowth of scar tissue and can be more challenging to treat.
Stretched Scars: These scars occur due to tension exerted on the skin during healing as well as following pregnancy and weight changes.. They are often flat or depressed, soft, and pale, and are more likely to occur on the limbs and abdomen.

Scar Removal Treatments in London

There are various scar removal treatments available in London, each suited for different types of scars and skin types. An initial consultation with a plastic surgeon is crucial to develop a customised treatment plan based on the scar’s characteristics.

Here are some of the treatments that target scars offered at Goutos, London:

Laser Scar Removal: Laser treatments are one of the most popular and effective scar removal options, particularly for acne scars, hypertrophic scars, and keloid scars. Laser scar removal works by targeting the scar tissue with precise light energy, stimulating the production of new skin cells and encouraging collagen production. This helps smooth out the skin and reduce the appearance of scars.
Steroid Injections and Non-Surgical Treatments: For patients with hypertrophic or keloid scars, steroid injections are an effective option to reduce the size and thickness of the scar. Non-invasive treatments like these benefit patients looking for treatments that don’t involve surgery.
Microneedling: Microneedling can treat hypertrophic scars, atrophic scars, acne scarring, plus several other different conditions. By using a device with tiny needles to prick the skin’s surface, plastic surgeons can trigger the body to produce collagen and elastin. This can improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, and make skin firmer and even-toned.
Silicone Gel Sheeting: Silicone gel sheeting is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce the appearance of raised scars, such as hypertrophic and keloid scars. When applied to the skin, silicone sheets help flatten the scar and improve scar healing by keeping the area hydrated and promoting the production of normal skin.
Scar Revision Surgery: In some cases, scar revision is necessary to improve the appearance of a scar, especially if the scar affects movement or causes discomfort. During this surgical procedure, the scar is removed, and the surrounding skin is repositioned to minimise the appearance of the scar.

Treatment For Specific Types of Scars

Acne Scar Treatment: Acne scars are typically treated with a combination of laser scar removal treatment, dermal fillers, and microneedling. Laser therapy is especially effective in stimulating collagen production to reduce the depth of pitted scars.
Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars: These raised scars often require a multi-step approach, including steroid injections, laser scar removal, and sometimes radiotherapy. Treating hypertrophic or keloid scars early in the healing process can prevent further growth and improve outcomes.
Burn Scars: Burn scars, including contracture scars or skin graft scars, may require laser treatment, scar revision, or skin grafts to improve the texture and flexibility of the surrounding tissue.

Factors Influencing Scar Removal Treatment

The choice of scar removal treatment depends on several factors, including the type of scar, the patient’s skin type, and the location. Different skin types respond to treatments differently, so it’s important to choose a provider experienced in treating a variety of skin conditions.

Patients with darker skin tones may require a gentler approach, as certain treatments like laser resurfacing can affect pigmentation. An effective treatment plan will be personalised to the patient’s unique skin needs and concerns.

Mr Goutos and his team removed some lipomas from my arms. The initial consultation right through to the aftercare was professional, sensitive and genuine. Mr Goutos put me at ease right from the start, discussing my history and background and then discussing the various options for the incisions and sutures. The incisions were quick, efficient and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing I was in expert hands. The incisions were extremely neat and have closed and scared really well. I had a number of questions after the operation and one of the sutures became infected. Mr Goutos was quick to make an appointment for me, see me and deal with the infection and offered for me to see him again if the infection didn’t calm down. He was genuinely empathetic to my needs and took time to check each scare, explain things and assure me along the way. He didn’t at any point, make me feel I was asking silly questions or too many. I highly recommend Mr Goutos for his exceptional incisions and suturing as well as his professional conduct, caring approach and after care. The whole experience was smooth and easy and I am very grateful for what he has done for me.

We came to see Dr Goutos a few month ago to remove invasive spider nevus on my 9 year old sons nose . After a lovely consultation with Dr Goutos , he suggested to do several laser treatment sessions. After a few sessions we already noticed a massive improvement. On the final laser treatment session the spider nevus was completely gone. Thank you to the Dr Goutos for tackling the problem so rapidly and with great results!

We took our 4yr old daughter to Mr Goutos following an accident which resulted in a small burn scar on her cheek. Mr Goutos gave us various options and we went for laser treatment. After 4 appointments the scar has gone! The care that Mr Goutos gave us was exceptional and so good with children. He made us feel very comfortable and confident in his ability. I would recommend him to anyone if they were looking for a doctor in that particular field. Can't thank him enough.
