Medical Scar Support is designed for scars under 12 months old that are still in their active phase of healing. If your scar feels raised, firm, itchy or uncomfortable, this is the stage where treatment can help calm collagen production, reduce tension in the tissue and guide softer remodelling over time.
You’ll usually notice comfort improving early on, while visible changes tend to build gradually across 8 or so weeks. Plans are individualised and may be combined with other medical or paramedical care when that’s likely to serve you better. For scars older than 12 months, inkless tattooing is often the more effective option – and I’ll let you know if that’s the case.
If you’ve been searching for “keloid scar treatment”, “scar flattening treatment”, “scar reduction clinic near me” or “how to flatten a hypertrophic scar”, this is the medical approach designed for that stage of healing. I provide evidence-based care for both hypertrophic and keloid-prone scars, and treatment is always tailored to your history and skin.
I’m a Registered Cosmetic Nurse located in Fairfield Victoria. Consultations are available to those in Melbourne’s inner north, including Brunswick, Northcote and Thornbury.
All treatment options come with common side effects and serious risks, which must first be discussed in consultation - along with detailed medical history and other personal factors - to determine eligibility. Treatment benefits and alternative options are also discussed. Always seek treatment from professionals you trust.
