• Laser therapy: reduces redness, refines the texture and smooths irregular skin surfaces.
• Microneedling: stimulates collagen and elastin production, improves skin regeneration and softens scars.
• Scar ointments or injections: help with fresh or raised scars to make the tissue more elastic.
• Surgical correction: for pronounced or functionally disruptive scars, to remove excess tissue and close the skin.

Scars form when the skin cannot completely close the wound with normal tissue. Causes:

• deep injuries
• severe inflammation (e.g. acne)
• Infections
• Tension on the wound
• genetic predisposition

The type of scar depends on the individual's healing behavior.

We assess scars according to:

• Type (atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid)
• Depth & Extent
• localization
• skin type
• Age of the scar

Based on these factors, we develop an individually tailored treatment concept.

5. Treatment options

The most effective scar therapy is often a combination of several procedures.

1. Laser treatments

(Fractional laser, vascular laser)

• smoothes the skin surface
• reduces pigment differences
• stimulates collagen production
• Ideal for acne scars and reddish scars

2. Microneedling / radio frequency needling

• promotes collagen formation
• Improves sunken scars
• refines the skin texture

3. PRP (autologous blood therapy)

• The body's own growth factors stimulate regeneration.
• ideal combination with laser / needling

4. Cortisone injections

• for hypertrophic scars & keloids
• reduce hardness & bulk

5. Surgical correction

• suitable for deeper scars
• Subcision: Detachment of the scar tissue, followed by laser or microneedling.

6. Modern Laser & Needling Procedures

Fractionated CO₂ or erbium laser

• precisely removed microtissue
• strong stimulation of collagen
• ideal for acne scars

1. Cryotherapy (freezing)

• Cryotherapy is particularly suitable for treating hypertrophic scars and selected keloids. Through targeted freezing with liquid nitrogen, the hardened scar tissue is damaged in a controlled manner, allowing it to regenerate as flatter, softer, and more elastic.
• The method is often combined with cortisone injections or laser therapy to further increase its effectiveness. Redness, swelling, or scabs may occur temporarily after treatment; this is part of the natural healing process.

INFOBOX:
The best results are achieved with combination therapies, as different parts of the scar are treated simultaneously.

Scars usually consist of a mixture of:

• Discoloration
• Tissue loss
• hardened structures

Combinations such as laser + needling + PRP therefore lead to:

• smoother skin surface
• improved elasticity
• less visible depressions
• more natural skin tone

• Consistent sun protection (SPF 50) → prevents pigmentation disorders
• mild skincare without irritants
• regular moisturizing care
• No manipulation of the scars
• Adherence to the doctors' recommendations

The following can occur after laser or microneedling:

• Redness
• slight swelling
• crust formation

This is normal and will subside within a few days.

Are scars completely removable?
Scars are usually not completely healed, but with modern therapies they can be reduced depending on the type. significantly improved , flattened, brightened, or visually almost balanced.

Which scars respond best to laser treatment?
Atrophic acne scars and reddish, fresh scars.

How many treatments are necessary?
Usually 2-5 sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Can every scar be treated?
Yes, but with different methods depending on the type of scar.

Is the treatment painful?
Well tolerated with numbing cream.

Targeted scar treatment not only improves skin aesthetics but can also alleviate functional limitations. With modern methods such as lasers, microneedling, or surgical correction, scars can now be visibly and sustainably improved, resulting in a smoother, more harmonious complexion.
