BREAST SURGERY SCARS

These images show our 29 year old patient before and 2 months after a single laser and steroid treatment to the thick scars on her left breast post-uplift surgery 5 months prior.

The scar is flatter, less red and less itchy.
Importantly in this type of surgery, there is less risk of skin thinning, telanjectasia and fat destruction than with steroid injections alone.

She will undergo further treatment to continue the improvement of the remaining raised areas.

These photographs are of an actual patient treated at The Scar Clinic Perth by Dr. Helen Douglas who has given her permission for use of these images for education and marketing.

TRAUMA SCARS

This picture shows a freshly healed and stitched trauma scar on the inner elbow after a fracture has been surgically fixed - it is red, puckered and getting thicker as the early scar lays down collagen.

Surgical scars around joints frequently result in bad scars, even if the wound is sutured well and heals quickly.
This is possibly due to the mobility of the area putting tension on the scar; it also happens on the chest and jaw.

These scars usually respond very well to CO2 laser with or without steroid injections.

SURGICAL SKIN GRAFT SCARS

These images show our 63-year old patient before and 8 weeks after a single CO2 laser treatment for the skin graft on his left lower eyelid.

This skin graft was performed 8 weeks prior to his laser treatment - necessary post-removal of a deep skin cancer by a plastic surgery colleague. As the grafts heal they usually contract, which was pulling his lower lid down and he was referred to The Scar Clinic by his specialist for early aggressive scar treatment.

8 weeks after a single CO2 laser treatment the scar has loosened significantly, allowing the lower lid position to improve, reducing dryness and improving symmetry and appearance.

These photographs are of an actual patient treated at The Scar Clinic Perth by Dr Helen Douglas who has given his permission for use of these images for education and marketing.

SKIN GRAFT SCARS

Whether after injury or following skin cancer removal, a skin graft will leave a scar.

Skin graft scars can be thick, itchy and red early on and tight and uncomfortable later.

CO2 laser treatment can help to make the skin graft scar look, feel and move better.

This is by making it more pliable - the laser channels ‘perforate’ the scar and leave it feeling looser so it moves more freely and you can pick it up like normal skin. It also flattens any thicker areas.

Skin graft scars can be treated for thickness or tightness weeks, months or years after the skin graft and get improvement.

SURGICAL SCARS

This picture shows a thick hypertrophic surgical scar on the wrist of our 45-year old patient - she has given permission to share this image.

The scar is red, itchy, restrictive and very visible.

CO2 laser treatment can improve these scars by flattening and improving the colour as there is less blood-filled collagen in the scar post-treatment.

EAR KELOID SCARS

These images show our 41-year old patient before and 5 months after a single CO2 laser and steroid treatment for the thick keloid on her earlobe.

This had previously been excised at a different clinic and had grown back larger and more painful. After a single combination laser and steroid treatment it has shrunk significantly and the colour improved.

Further treatment combined with a scar compression device will continue to flatten this recurrent keloid scar.

ACNE SCARS

This picture shows some undulating ‘box-car’ acne scars on the cheek of our 28-year old patient - she has given permission to share this image.

These types of acne scars create contour differences on the skin, which cast shadows and make scars appear more obvious.

CO2 resurfacing laser can help to improve these scars by smoothing the contour differences and modern laser technology means that most skin types can be treated.

Q: How soon after healing can I have laser?

A: From 6 weeks after the operation or injury

At The Scar Clinic Perth we treat all types of scars at many different time points in the patient’s scar journey.

Some scars you just know are going to be higher risk of being problematic than others including:

- Scars on the central chest, deltoid or over joints
- Scars from wounds which took a while to heal
- Scars in people with a history of problematic scarring including keloids or thicker scars
- Scars in people with more pigment in their skin
- Scars in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas such as the face or hands

In these groups we would recommend reviewing the scar at 6 weeks post-op or post-injury and if the scar looks redder or slightly thicker than expected then a clinician or patient could consider early CO2 laser to improve the scar.

We know that some clinicians treat scars earlier or later than this with CO2 laser - this is just what we have found works, especially after the ELIPSE randomised controlled trial - so we can catch the scar early in the remodelling phase whilst avoiding over-treating.
