The story
Worried that a scar keeps catching your eye, even after it has healed?
A scar can look different depending on its cause, depth, direction, whether it is raised or sunken, and the tension in the skin around it. Two scars of the same length can need entirely different plans.
Pascal first assesses the shape and location of your scar. The options include excision and re-suturing, Z- or W-plasty, filler or botulinum toxin, and peels or lasers, and the method is chosen to fit the scar type.
The goal is not to erase a scar completely, but to reduce the difference from the surrounding skin so it stands out less. Treatment time ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the method.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can old scars be treated?
Yes. Age alone does not decide it. The current shape, depth, location and surrounding skin are assessed first.
Will one treatment remove the scar?
The number of treatments depends on scar type and method. The goal is to reduce the difference from nearby skin, not to erase the scar.
Surgery or laser: which is better?
It depends on width, depth, direction and skin tension. Some scars need surgery and some suit non-surgical treatment.
Can I go back to daily life right away?
It depends on the method and area. Your surgeon explains care and return timing for your plan.
What is PRF care?
PRF is prepared from your own blood and can be used as supportive care during recovery. Whether and when it is used is decided after assessment.
