What are Scar Revision?

Scar revision is a medical treatment designed to reduce the appearance of scars and improve their aesthetic appearance, while sometimes also restoring function to affected areas. It encompasses a range of techniques from non-surgical options like topical treatments, injectables and laser therapy to surgical procedures that involve removing the scar tissue and reclosing the wound using advanced suturing techniques. The goal of scar revision is to create a less noticeable scar that better blends with surrounding skin tone and texture, potentially improving both the physical appearance and any associated discomfort or restricted movement caused by the original scar. Treatment approaches are tailored to the individual based on factors such as scar type, location, size, and the patient's skin characteristics.

Our Process For Scar Revision

At London Dental Specialists, our scar revision treatments are meticulously designed to enhance the appearance of scars, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural skin tone and texture. Our comprehensive process begins with a thorough consultation and assessment, where we evaluate the scar's characteristics and discuss your aesthetic goals.

The scar revision procedure itself may involve techniques such as surgical excision, laser therapy, or dermabrasion, depending on the scar's nature.

Conditions We Treat With Scar Revision

We use Scar Revision to treat multiple dental conditions at our Twickenham practice, focusing on conditions that benefit well to this treatment. Our qualified team determines which conditions are most suitable for Scar Revision. We provide honest guidance about expected outcomes for your specific condition.


  • Hypertrophic Scars - These raised, red scars can be treated with scar revision techniques including topical treatments, steroid injections, and surgical procedures to improve appearance and reduce discomfort.

  • Keloid Scars - These are overgrown scars that extend beyond the original wound boundaries, which can be addressed through scar revision surgery, pressure therapy, and injectable treatments.

  • Contracture Scars - These scars tighten the skin and may restrict movement, particularly around joints. Reconstructive surgery techniques can release the contracture and improve functionality.

  • Atrophic Scars - These depressed scars (common with acne) can be treated with dermatological treatments such as skin resurfacing, dermal fillers, or surgical revision to improve skin texture.

  • Facial Scars - Visible scars on the face can be minimised through careful facial surgery techniques that consider aesthetic outcomes and natural facial contours.

  • Surgical Scars - Previous surgical incisions that have healed poorly can be revised using advanced surgical techniques to create a less noticeable scar.

  • Traumatic Scars - Scars resulting from accidents or injuries can be improved through scar revision, potentially combining multiple treatment approaches for optimal results.

  • Burn Scars - These often complex scars may require comprehensive reconstructive surgery approaches, including tissue expansion or skin grafting.

  • Stretched Scars - Scars that have widened during healing can be surgically revised to create a thinner, less noticeable line.

  • Pigmented Scars - Scars with abnormal colouration can be treated with skin treatments including laser therapy and medical-grade skin care to normalise pigmentation.

What is scar revision treatment at London Dental Specialists?


Scar revision at London Dental Specialists is a specialised treatment designed to reduce the appearance of facial and oral scars and alleviate any discomfort they may cause. Our treatments include a range of approaches tailored to your specific needs, including topical treatments, injectable therapies, advanced skin resurfacing techniques, and minor surgical procedures. Each treatment plan is customised to address the specific characteristics of your scar and achieve the most natural-looking results possible.



How does the scar revision process work at London Dental Specialists?


The scar revision process at London Dental Specialists begins with a comprehensive consultation where our specialists assess your scar's characteristics, location, and your aesthetic goals. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include one or a combination of techniques. Depending on the complexity, treatments may be performed under local anaesthesia in our clinic. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal results.



What types of scars can be treated with scar revision at London Dental Specialists?


At London Dental Specialists, we treat various types of facial and oral scars, including:



  • Hypertrophic scars (raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound)

  • Keloid scars (raised scars that extend beyond the original wound boundaries)

  • Contracture scars (scars that restrict movement due to skin tightening)

  • Atrophic scars (depressed scars that sit below the surrounding skin level)

  • Surgical scars from previous dental or facial procedures

  • Trauma-related facial scarring



How painful is scar revision treatment?


Most patients experience minimal discomfort during scar revision treatments at London Dental Specialists. For minor procedures, we use local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. Following treatment, it's normal to experience some temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few days. Our specialists can prescribe appropriate pain management options if needed. It's important to note that immediately after treatment, the area may temporarily appear more pronounced before improving as healing progresses.



What is the recovery time after scar revision?


Recovery time after scar revision at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the treatment type and extent. For non-surgical treatments, downtime is minimal, often allowing immediate return to normal activities. For surgical revisions, initial healing typically takes 1-2 weeks, during which you should avoid strenuous activities and follow our specific aftercare instructions. Complete scar maturation takes approximately 12 months, during which the appearance gradually improves. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and provide additional treatments if necessary.



What results can I expect from scar revision treatment?


Scar revision at London Dental Specialists aims to significantly improve the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable and more consistent with surrounding skin. While complete scar removal is not possible, our treatments can effectively reduce scar size, improve texture, minimise discolouration, and alleviate any functional limitations. Most patients experience substantial improvement, with over 80% reporting better scar appearance following treatment. Results develop gradually over 6-12 months as the healing process completes and the scar fully matures.



How much does scar revision cost at London Dental Specialists?


The cost of scar revision at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the scar's complexity, size, location, and the specific techniques required. Following your initial consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We believe in making quality care accessible and offer various payment options to accommodate different budgets. For the most accurate pricing information, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our specialists who can assess your specific needs and provide personalised recommendations.



Is scar revision at London Dental Specialists worth it?


Scar revision at London Dental Specialists offers significant value for patients concerned about facial or oral scarring. Beyond the physical improvement, many patients experience enhanced self-confidence and psychological well-being. Our high patient satisfaction rates reflect the effectiveness of our treatments, with most patients reporting substantial improvement in scar appearance. While the healing process takes time, typically up to a year for complete maturation, the long-term results provide lasting benefits. Our specialists' expertise in facial aesthetics ensures natural-looking results that complement your overall appearance.



How do I prepare for a scar revision consultation at London Dental Specialists?


To prepare for your scar revision consultation at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:



  • Gathering your medical history, including information about how and when the scar formed

  • Bringing any previous treatment records related to the scar

  • Preparing questions about the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes

  • Being ready to discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations

  • Avoiding blood-thinning medications (if medically appropriate) for a week before your appointment
