About Scar Paring
If you are seeking effective scar removal, we offer a specialised Scar Paring procedure for at our Oxford and Leamington Spa clinics.
Treatment is suitable for almost anyone; most skin types, men and women over the age of 18 with 'depressed', pitted (or what people sometimes refer to as 'ice pick' or 'crater') scars, for example, those resulting from acne or post-chicken pox scarring.
In this procedure, the hardened scar tissue fibre is effectively pared away beneath the scar using a needle, in order to encourage the formation of new soft and healthy non-scarred skin to take its place. Since the procedure is so targeted to carefully work on the scar tissue, trauma to the surrounding area is kept to a minimum.

Is there any aftercare to be aware of following scar paring?
We will be able to give you any individually tailored aftercare advice needed in person but the key things are paying careful attention to hygiene and treating the area with care and keeping it clean and dry to aid healing.
DO I NEED TO PLAN FOR ANY DOWNTIME?
- This is quite an individual thing as this is likely to depend somewhat on where the scarring is and how you feel about it. You might expect some redness following the treatment and keeping the area clean and dry, for example, avoiding activities which dirty it or cause sweating in the area, could impact on some activities you might undertake. It is also important to use a high sun protection.
- If you ever have any questions or concerns at all following any procedure please do not hesitate to contact us - we are always happy to assist and place great importance on your post-procedure care.
how many treatments will i need?
As a guide you may need c. 3-6 treatments within a year or so to reduce scarring. We will give you an indication of time and treatment costs on consultation and will continually reassess as we how your skin responds to the treatment.
what is the cost of the scar paring procedure?
Treatment starts from £150* per session.
*Please note that this is a guide and price will be clearly confirmed for you on consultation prior to treatment.

can scar paring permanently improve scarred skin?
Yes. If you have good healing mechanisms and respond well, the old scar tissue will be replaced with new tissue over time and this would give a permanent solution.
