Managing the Appearance of Scars

Scars tell a story, but they do not have to define your skin. Whether caused by acne, injury, or surgery, scarring can affect how you feel about your appearance. At Injex Clinics, we offer evidence-based, non-surgical scar treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone and confidence. Our expert team customises each treatment plan to suit your skin’s individual needs, using clinically proven devices and products for results you can see and feel.

What Is Scarring?

Scars form as part of your skin’s natural healing process when the dermis (the deeper layer of skin) is damaged. The body produces collagen to repair the wound, but the resulting tissue is often different in texture and appearance from surrounding skin. Some scars are flat and pale, while others may be raised (Keloid), sunken (Atrophic), or pigmented (PIHP).

Wrinkle & Fine Line Treatments at Injex Clinics

Our treatment plans are customised based on scar type, location, and skin type. Options include:

1. Fraxis Duo CO2 Laser

Fractional CO2 laser resurfaces the skin and promotes deep collagen remodelling to reduce moderate to severe scars.

What Causes Scars & Scarring?

Scars can be caused by a wide range of factors including:

  • Acne breakouts
  • Surgical procedures or injuries
  • Skin picking or trauma
  • Burns
  • Chickenpox or infections

The appearance of a scar can be influenced by your skin type, genetics, depth and severity of the wound, and how the area healed.

At-Home Tips for Managing Scars

  • Apply SPF daily to prevent scar pigmentation from darkening

  • Use Skinjex vitamin C or retinol products to brighten and promote collagen production

  • Avoid picking or scratching healing skin

  • Massage scars gently with a vitamin E or silicone-based product to improve softness

  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy skin barrier with nourishing moisturisers

Differences Between Types of Scars

Not all scars are the same. Understanding the type of scar you have is key to selecting the most effective treatment. At Injex Clinics, we commonly see three major categories of scarring:

1. Raised Scars (Keloid or Hypertrophic)

Appearance: Thick, firm, elevated scars that may be pink, red, or darker than the surrounding skin.
Causes: Often the result of trauma, surgery, piercings, or even acne.
Features:

  • Hypertrophic scars remain within the boundaries of the original wound.

  • Keloid scars extend beyond the original injury and can continue growing over time.
    Treatment Considerations: These scars are more common in darker skin types and may require specific treatment plans such as laser, prescription creams, or referral for medical therapy.

2. Sunken Scars (Atrophic)

Appearance: Indented or pitted scars that sit below the surrounding skin surface.
Causes: Typically caused by severe acne, chickenpox, or injury that destroyed collagen in the healing process.
Types:

  • Ice pick scars – narrow and deep

  • Boxcar scars – broad with well-defined edges

  • Rolling scars – soft, sloping edges that give the skin a wavy texture
    Treatment Considerations: These respond well to collagen-stimulating treatments such as CO2 laser, Secret RF, and skin needling.

3. Pigmented Scars (PIHP – Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

Appearance: Flat discolouration ranging from pink to red, brown, or grey, depending on skin tone.
Causes: A common outcome of inflammation such as acne, bites, burns or trauma. It is not technically a scar, but a pigment response to skin injury.
Treatment Considerations: While PIHP may fade over time, targeted treatments like Curas laser, chemical peels, LED light therapy and Skinjex brightening products can help accelerate clearance and even out skin tone.
