You may have been told that scars are for life but were here to help you prove that theyre not! When you get a scar it seems that the skin has some sort of memory because the scar stays there even though you know that your skin is constantly renewing itself. So how can you re-train the skin to be smooth and blemish free again?
The secret to achieving this lies in the powerful and safe combination treatments we use to stimulate the skin to be plumper and more elastic, while tackling the memory of the scar the shrunken connective tissue between the surface of your skin and the deep layers.
You can be reassured that our scar removal treatment

Our Scar Removal treatment is for people who:
What does the treatment involve?
Our basic treatment involves you having a series of Microdermabrasion (Mda) treatments on the scarred area to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin that will boost the thickness and elasticity of your skin, and, most importantly, to stretch the connective tissue under the surface of the skin. It is because the connective tissue under your scar has shrunk that the surface of the skin shows the indentation effectively giving your skin a memory of the scar so the scar doesnt disappear despite your skin cells being constantly renewed . Our treatments effectively re-train the skin to grow evenly giving you a permanently smooth skin surface. SkinGenesis utilizes unique 3rd generation Mda machines capable of operating at high vacuum without crystals.
For optimum results we would strongly recommend that you upgrade your scar treatment to include several Regenerative Peels which thicken and firm the skin. As part of the combined course, we will give you high strength complementary at home products these products are not available other than from specialist skin clinics such as SkinGenesis.
If your scars also show pigmented or vascular blemishes our Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments work very well in conjunction with the treatments described above. IPL treatments selectively target the blemishes reducing melanin production and removing blood based lesions. When IPL is used it is applied after the Mda/ Peel treatment.
Will I need to take time off to recover from the treatments?
You should not need any recovery time. You should expect the treated area to be slightly red for about half an hour after treatment although in some circumstances the redness may last for up to 24 hours.
Don’t worry about your makeup. For facial treatments we will have to remove your makeup but after the treatment we will apply our own Jane Iredale mineral makeup – just ask your therapist - so that you can leave with your head held high!
We advise clients not to apply makeup immediately after treatment as a general rule but, in fact, mineral makeup is fine – it’s known as the "skin care makeup" as it is anti-bacterial, non-clogging and acts as a sun protection factor. It’s really good stuff and was developed for people who wanted high coverage makeup following laser skin resurfacing. We can show you the pictures when you come in!
How many treatments will I need, and how often?
This depends on the severity of the scarring and how smooth you want your skin to be. A highly visible improvement is normally noticeable after a course of 10 weekly treatments. You may get further improvements from additional courses. When IPL is necessary it is normally administered with a 2 or 3 week interval.
What does it cost?
Your consultation is free of charge, with no obligation to have any treatments. After all it is only right that you have all the facts before you make your decision.
You can have a trial microdermabrasion treatment, or a trial peel, for just 25. If you like, this can be done at the time of your consultation please let us know in advance that this is what you would like to do. A basic course of 10 weekly Mda treatments costs from 500. A combined course, including several Regenerative Peels, over 10 weeks, costs from 830 including the high strength at home products. ALL PRICES BASED ON FULL FACE TREATMENTS.
There is an additional charge for IPL treatments.
Are there any reasons why you may not be able to treat me?
If you are susceptible to keloid (raised) scarring, you should not have Microdermabrasion. If you suffer from broken capillaries, diabetes or eczema, you should discuss this at time of consultation. If you are on medication you are advised to consult with your GP prior to consultation although this treatment works well in conjunction with most other acne treatments.
What are the risks?
There are virtually no risks with this treatment. A small number of clients may experience a slight redness, but this normally disappears within 30 minutes. If you have exceptionally thin and fragile skin, mild short term bruising is possible but extremely rare. You will be tested for allergic reaction before treatment.
There are no long-term risks or adverse side effects.
What else should I know?
Microdermabrasion, Regenerative Peels and Intense Pulsed Light are excellent treatments for reducing the incidence and severity of acne breakouts. These treatments are excellent at rejuvenating skin and can repair sun damage.
